I love music. And I'll listen to almost anything. However, my list of music was excessively long, and so I've shortened it to the music I could not live without.
The Beatles, Bjork, Coldplay, Cyndi Lauper, Explosions in the Sky, Fiona Apple, Incubus, The Killers, Kate Bush, Maroon 5, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Queen, Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Tori Amos, U2.
And pretty much any decent electronica.

Shameless plug: Sing Treason is an awesome band and you should check them out.
I don't use MySpace much. I've migrated over to Facebook. Yet, somehow I have so many people on this damn thing it's almost impossible to get rid of it. Alas.
If you're someone I know in person, or might be interested in knowing - friend me on Facebook.
. . .
I believe you are defined by what you do. So here's what I do, in no particular order:
-I train parrots.
-I listen to lots of music and go to lots of shows.
-I bicycle a lot.
-I am polytheistic.
-I practice my own faith, which takes mostly from Celtic & Norse reconstructionist religions.
-I do art modelling.
-I write poetry & blogs & the occasional essay.
-I was Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire for a few years. I don't do that anymore, so I'd say I'm a fading small-l libertarian.
-I don't eat meat. This apparently makes me a vegetarian. I do, however, eat eggs & butter & milk. No fish though. Gross.
-I read a lot. Urban fantasy of the Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, Jack Vance variety is my favorite.
-I work a lot. I like my job. I work in Communications.
-I use a Blackberry. This makes me somewhat pretentious.
-I take pictures. I'm a very amateur photographer. I don't mind being amateur. It's fun.
-I cook.
-I design, save up for, and get tattoos. I love ink.
-I was homeschooled.
-I helped get a Mayor elected. And a State Rep.
-I live in Jamaica Plain and try to be involved in community events.
-I can't stop eating Oreos.
-I chew a lot of gum.
-I drink & party sometimes.
-I practice moderation.
-I love meeting parents.
-I like when the plane takes off.
-I went to 11 different states this year.
-I like coming home.
-I order rum & coke most often.
-Hablo español. No mucho, solamente bastantes para tener una conversación. Necesito practar.
- Ich spreche nicht Deutsches. But I like quotes in the language.
-I like waking up early in the morning to sunlight and birds singing.
-I love.
Who I'd like to meet: Virginia Woolf and Jon Stewart.

A Viking Prayer…May the trade winds and good fortune fill your sails…May the sun warm you and make bountiful the fields…May the seas be calm and the nighttime skies be ever clear… For the stars to lead you to safe harbor...
