About me: I am a freelance writer who lives in East Atlanta.
I have been a Fashion Writer, then Senior Fashion Writer, then Senior Fashion and Music Writer for Gothic Beauty magazine, and am now the Entertainment Editor. I also contribute regularly to accessAtlanta/The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (where I write a weekly Sports & Rec column), and contribute to other publications here and there.
I used to be the Music & Media Director (aka Music Editor) for PRICK magazine, but not any longer.
I typically cover subjects such as music, film, art, literature, fashion, pop culture, club events, video games, toys and things involving having fun with outsiders and deviants.
I am always looking for things that are oddly entertaining and cerebral to expose to the masses.
Off the top of my head, I like industrial music, rock 'n' roll, horror and sci-fi movies, pretty much any kind of books, comic books, cartoons, and the occassional conspiracy theory.
Yes, I'm usually pretty quiet and I don't need anyone telling me how I don't talk that much. That usually means I'm listening and/or observing. It doesn't mean I don't like you because I try to make it obvious when that's the case.
I like most people, but just am not great at meeting them.
My guilty pleasures are wrestling and hair metal, but I don't really feel guilty about liking them, or anything else.
I think I might have been abducted by aliens as a child, which might explain a few things.
You know those bumper stickers that say something to the effect of, "If you're not angry, you're not paying attention"? I like those stickers.
Too much unprotected exposure to the sun as a child is why I try to avoid it whenever possible now.
..
Who I'd like to meet: Randy Quaid, Jennifer Tilly and Sting (the wrestler, not the singer).
I guess that's just life. Well, I hope to get out of my house or away from campus sometime this December. :) I'm sure we'll swing by your neck of the woods so I'll give you a buzz. :)
At Eyedrum (www. eyedrum. org) on Wednesday November 20th at 7:30 pm, for $5.00, The Nonsense Company presents "Great Hymn of Thanksgiving / Conversation Storm", an award-winning pair of urgently intricate pieces blurring the boundary between experimental theater and avant-garde music, both written by internationally-known composer and company member Rick Burkhardt.
"Great Hymn of Thanksgiving" takes place at a dinner table, where the sounds of conversation have been replaced with fragmented news reports, scraps from the Army prayer manual, faux-Middle-Eastern folk tales, and disembodied cries of emergency. The sculpted sounds of the table itself — scooting chairs, singing wineglasses, squeaking forks — force this “conversation” into a confrontation with material reality.
In "Conversation Storm", three friends from three sides of the political spectrum unwillingly argue their way through a ticking time bomb scenario, revising, dissecting, and even brutalizing their own positions in the process — but time has either stopped or entered an ugly loop, and as the friends assign and reassign roles, the scenario begins to dissolve the boundaries between real and hypothetical, past and future, day and night.

Thanks :) Yeah, we had a Halloween party last weekend. I was stuck @ work this Halloween night, & it was a waste because we didn't run any cars due to manpower, so I sat there staring at a blue table cloth w/ yellow flowers talking on my cell to my friends & husband who were drinking Kaluhas & watching Rammstein videos... Anyway, I sure hope your Halloween was better :)
Thanks to all my friends for your support, and to all my new friends you need to come check us out. Check out our specials and sit with some of our amazing tattoo artist.
This Halloween come out and party ALL NIGHT LONG!! Atlanta's only 18+ Halloween party that runs from 10pm until 6 am! You get 2 different parties for one low price!! On one side, it's an 80's party done right with REAL 80s music until dawn, like Atlanta used to when it was cool and on the another side we will have Goth/Industrial and maybe a little Psy thrown in! We will also have a theater showing classic horror films as always!! There will also be a costume contest with a cash prize at 2 am!! Don't forget to BYOB (21+) of course! Also, take not that there is no re-entry fee at this venue! Cover has tiered pricing, $15 (or $12 with stamp from another club). What all this adds up to is the best deal for your Halloween dollar!! We are located at 728 Spring Street in Atlanta, right next door to the Arbys.
On a side note, while we are posting to you, I want to remind everyone to come out to the next Phobia on December 5th!! THERE IS NO PHOBIA IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER!!
