I live with one foot in reality and the other in a world that is all my own. I'm creative, but not artistic; smarter than the average person, but by no means a genius. The state of the world consistantly frustrates me, but I'm happier now than I've ever been. I'm self-deprecating, but possess a sometimes-dangerous amount of self-confidence. I love to learn, but detest the institution of school. I have a low tolerance for stupidity. I can be exceedingly meticulous or ridiculously careless. I'm quite particular about how I think things should be, but am able to adapt well when things don't work out as planned...which is most of the time. I'm not religious in any way, but have an overwhelming sense that everything will be alright. I am your dream girl, but you wouldn't know what to do if you had me.
An extra credit project I did for my Mass Communications class. Oh, how I amuse myself...

Who I'd like to meet: Orson Welles and smart "people" with good intentions.
Ummm, wow, I am a total ass aren't I? I had your b-day written down as being on the 27th but it's the 20th. DAMNIT! 8/ I'll make it up to you - I promise! Happy Belated Birthday!!! I need to hear about your night @ the Edison. You better have taken plenty of pics!
I can't believe that the Oren Lavie video was what you posted! When I discovered that a few weeks ago, I watched it every hour on the hour, sometimes a few times in an hour. It's so genius. Gorgeous visually and musically.
Listening to post number one...and...are you kidding me? I'm already a little in love! I'm off to a meeting with Ben, but when I get back I'll listen to post number 2...Car OK. Needed a new battery-it was SO dead it wouldn't take a charge at all the next day. Some other stuff had to be done to it, but mainly just maintenance stuff. I had a really interestingly horrible/awesome day. Tell you all about it when I get back. :) Thanks for all your help!!

Ok. No scratches on the new car please! Think George Bush needs his ass kicked.
OMG! I'm not sure but I think in Dante's 6th level of Hell you'd have to listen to that song over and over for all of eternity. That reminds me: I need to go say some Hail Mary's.
