Rock shows, foreign films, zines, urban fantasy novels, buskers, rock journalism, my cat, karaoke, grape soda, diner coffee, and bookends shaped like Spanish galleons.
Music
I love music, period. I like it live and I like it loud. I like rock and roll, pop, punk, ska, emo, indie, country, folk, bluegrass, showtunes, a little jazz, and a touch of blues. If you deny The Beatles, you're wasting my time.
My favorite song of all time is "Greensleeves." "A Day in The Life" comes close, though.
I play the washboard and am starting a folk punk band. Please send all your banjo- and/or fiddle-playing friends my way.
Movies
All I'm saying is that The Princess Bride, The Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Brick, and Le Cite Des Enfants Perdus would all probably make the top twenty.
Television
Most of the good stuff is off the air: MST3K, Star Trek TNG, Mr. Show, The Tick, The Young Ones, Monty Python, Firefly, Pushing Daisies, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Clone High.
Veronica Mars is my anti-drug. Hay sup Kristen Bell wanna go shoe shopping together or we could just make out that's cool.
Books
I love urban fantasy, children's books, and the occasional trashy romance novel.
Will Shetterly, Emma Bull, Jane Lindskold, Charles De Lint, Jane Yolen, Roald Dahl, Antoine De St. Exupere, Nora Roberts, Wil Wheaton, David Sedaris.
The Outsiders, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, A Light in the Attic, The Princess Bride, Flowers for Algernon, Please Kill Me, and The Little Prince are all on my bookshelf.
Comics are books too, right? Blue Monday, Geisha, Hopeless Savages, Snakepit and Runaways are a couple I could name, and have. Brian K. Vaughan is my favorite writer. Craig Thompson might be my favorite artist. I'll unconditionally love anything that Young American Comics puts out.
Heroes

-The Unlovables
I like going to rock shows. I like new music. I like writing about bands. I like writing about any old thing. I like taking pictures and staying up late and dyeing my hair and playing with my kitty.
I've lived in Washington and Michigan. Washington is better. I've been a Bellevuer, a UDistrictician, and am now a Ballardess.
When not rocking out, writing, on the bus, or eating, I spend a lot of time on hitrecord.org and moderate Rian's Forum.
sarahshay(dot)com is my online portfolio. You need to hire someone to write about awesome bands, okay bands, or anything else, you give me a call.
Who I'd like to meet: Young Ones! Bachelor boys! Crazy, mad, wild-eyed, big-bottomed anarchists!
lol, I don't know about old age... We're actually looking to possibly get out that way sometime this fall. Nothing definite just yet, but that's what we're shooting for.
hey ya. So it's been forever since we hung out. we should do so again soon ya think? hope you've been modeling that glenn or glennda shirt all around the town, making people jealous!
So I now have a better excuse for missing your birthday. I'm no longer going to a wedding,yuck, I'm going to see Motley Crue instead. Happy Birthday** Cass
I had a weirdo dream last night and you showed up. You had a green knit dress on that said "Bea Arthur" on the butt. This morning I had to Google Bea Arthur because I couldn't remember who she was. Finding out she was a Golden Girl made it all the more awesome.
Hello Daaahling!!! I hope you don't mind, but I posted a photo of you from the other night on my flickr page. You can check it out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bloodthirstyfiend/ XOXOXOX C
