"OK, so... so... sometimes I lie. I mean, I'm weird, man. About random stuff too, I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, Wow, that wasn't even remotely true." - Garden State

Movies
I'm a walking encylopedia of movie knowledge. I honestly can't state my favorite film. Give me a Top Five Title (i.e. best 80's teen flicks) and I can fill in the blank. Go ahead, try it. _____________________________________________________________________ Top 5 from 2007 - Gone Baby Gone, No Country For Old Men, Ratouille, 300 and Juno

I've never read a Harry Potter book and never will. My English Degree forbids it.
Heroes
My grandfather Gabriel Reyes, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Rollins, Ferris Bueller and most important, Cliff Gardner. (If you don't know him, look him up along with the phrase "glass tubes." Oh, and newly added Aleece for knowing the answers to questions that I don't and not rubbing it in.
About me:
I'm on MySpace about once a month... I'm a rebel, Dottie.
A rogue pirate. A cunning Mountie. A sly accomplish. An insatiable liar. A failed musican. A budding bookkeepper. An idiot's idiot. A man about brown. Einstein's little helper. Darwin's example. Jenna's gigalo. A Poet. A trickster. A candlesticker maker. A preacher. A dice thrower. A listner. A pickled jar avoider. AA. Silly. Sad. Strong. Serious. Sometimes so sexy she smiles.
___________________________________________________________ I'm smart, funny and occaisonaly charming. Once in a while I am jerk and do jerky things to jerks and good people. I have a degree in Creative Wrtiting, but currently work in finance. That sort of dicotomy defines my life. One day I'm the Thinker and introspective and then smartass and improvisational the next. There is much I hate and much I love. I can have a semi-serious talk like politics or the biodiversity of penguins one minute and then bust out Simpsons stories the next. This is what defines me - a mix of brainy trivia and dumb comedy.
___________________________________________________________
Who I'd like to meet: People who can entertain me. I subscribe to blogs that keep me reading. I talk to strangers all the time just to hear a different perspective of the world. I'm more interested in someone who is unsure why I'm asking than someone who feels compelled to tell me everything.... Of course, if I want to hear everything, I'll keep asking. _____________________________________________________________

Oh, a cute funny girl with a personality and who doesn't let me get away with b.s. ... I guess I'll settle for a celebrity...
Melanie Lynskey (from Ever After), Rachel Ray, Sarah Silverman, Jewel Staite (but only from "Firefly" not the post-years when she got sickly stick thin), Sara Rue, Lauren Graham, Natalie Portman and Mary-Louise Parker (she makes want to be a better man and human).
