Music
I can tolerate pretty much every genre except country (for personal reasons-- you would too if you've had to live in Wyoming as long as I have.)
But, to be a bit more specific, if my life had a soundtrack, it would sound a bit like this:
1. Weak-- Skunk Anansie
2. Not a Pretty Girl-- Ani Difranco
3. 1985-- Bowling for Soup
4. 'Merican-- Descendents
5. Evening on the Ground--Iron & Wine
6. Solsbury Hill-- Peter Gabriel
7. Sodastream-- Belle & Sebastian
8. The Fragile-- Nine Inch Nails
9. Innocente-- Delerium
10. Only Happy When It Rains-- Garbage
11. Suicide Medicine--Rocky Votolato
12. Glorybox-- Portishead
13. My Skin-- Natalie Merchant
14. Alice-- The Shroud
15. Drown-- Smashing Pumpkins
16. In the Shadows--The Rasmus
17. Where the Streets Have No Name-- U2
18. Dante's Prayer-- Loreena McKennitt
Movies
If my life were a theater, the screens would be showing:
1. Amy's O
2. Waking Life
3. I *Heart* Huckabees
4. Wings of Desire/Der Himmel Uber Berlin
5. Say Anything
6. The Nightmare Before Christmas
7. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
8. Lost In Translation
9. The Terminal
10. Fight Club
Television
I don't watch tv often, but I have a soft spot for odd, comedic adult cartoons, like Home Movies, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, Venture Brothers, etc. Also, the weird scientist in me gets a kick out of Mythbusters, and the Tony-Shaloub lover in me enjoys Monk.
Oh, and I almost forgot-- Frasier. Yes, I admit it. It's high-brow humor, but very well written, and that's so hard to find nowadays.
Books
Anything and everything. I'm a complete bibliophile. I have too many thousands to count. If you have literary tendencies, I could probably discuss just about any book with you. Because I'm a nerd like that. Yeah.
To give you a sample, if my life were a library the titles would include:
1. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
2. Anne Sexton's complete works
3. "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
4. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
5. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
Heroes
Rachel Carson, Malcolm X, Jacques Costeau, Anne Sexton, Vincent van Gogh, Beethoven, and my various assortment of creative, tolerant, and courageous friends.

About me:
I can be a snob, I can be a goofball. . . I suppose I can be a lot of things, but I really don't like to go on.
Lately, I've been traveling from place to place looking for something that fits. Have I found it yet? Couldn't say. But I love the search ;-)
Who I'd like to meet: It's more like who I wouldn't like to meet. I've already had my fill of people who are compulsive liars and/or have selfish tendencies to try and force other people's worlds to revolve around themselves. If you don't fall into that category, and if you don't type "u, ur, thnx" etc., then we might just get along.
Honestly, people, how hard is it to type an extra y-o-u?
PS: I also will only add people as friends if I actually know them in real life. Feel free to send me a message, but don't request friends. I don't mean to sound like an elitist-- I'm just paranoid.
PPS: Bands are an exception, if they have good music.
Wells, we just moved out of our apartment today, so we're officially homeless. We should be flying into Seattle around the 31st of this month. It's been a bit frustrating, but the brunt of it is behind us now. Sorry to hear that your all lone and coldly, perhaps you could be our tour guide! FREE COFFEE! What do ya say?
Happy New Year, dear friend. I hope this is a prolific and inspirational one.
Ars Poetica?
I have always aspired to a more spacious form that would be free from the claims of poetry or prose and would let us understand each other without exposing the author or reader to sublime agonies.
In the very essence of poetry there is something indecent: a thing is brought forth which we didn't know we had in us, so we blink our eyes, as if a tiger had sprung out and stood in the light, lashing his tail.
That's why poetry is rightly said to be dictated by a daimonion, though its an exaggeration to maintain that he must be an angel. It's hard to guess where that pride of poets comes from, when so often they're put to shame by the disclosure of their frailty.
What reasonable man would like to be a city of demons, who behave as if they were at home, speak in many tongues, and who, not satisfied with stealing his lips or hand, work at changing his destiny for their convenience?
It's true that what is morbid is highly valued today, and so you may think that I am only joking or that I've devised just one more means of praising Art with thehelp of irony.
There was a time when only wise books were read helping us to bear our pain and misery. This, after all, is not quite the same as leafing through a thousand works fresh from psychiatric clinics.
And yet the world is different from what it seems to be and we are other than how we see ourselves in our ravings. People therefore preserve silent integrity thus earning the respect of their relatives and neighbors.
The purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will.
What I'm saying here is not, I agree, poetry, as poems should be written rarely and reluctantly, under unbearable duress and only with the hope that good
Aw, thanks. Actually, that's a 3 a.m. in the morning shot with no makeup and smeared eyeliner and banging my head against a study book. Sexy. I don't like wearing my glasses too often because my eyelashes bat against them. There's a Carly Simon song about me going on right now...
Someone just told me that I look black in my profile photo. I'm thinking of using that for my law school applications. Might as well be all the minority I can be.
