About Me

You don't want to know. I'm actually pretty boring.

You can be my friend if...

you understand this? >ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhkjfoeilaifieakeijwiowwoijfioie.

Website :

Occupation:

Mime impersonator in the evenings and on weekends. On the weekdays though, I fancy the procrastinating college student persona. I also do a lot of interning (unfortunately and fortunately) and volunteer work.

Favorite bands:

I suck at this...'cause I'm pretty commercial. But, I'm eclectic and am pretty much down for listening to anything. Right now though I have a few artists on the replay:

Lovelikefire
Interpol
Janelle Monae
Erykah Badu
Santogold
Little Birdy
Most Motown (I love the music of the 60's and decades prior, especially Jackie Wilson, Martha Reeves & the V's, and Sam Cooke )
Kings of Leon
Ebony Bones
Kailash Kher's Kailasa (I'm down with the hindi music too)
The Mars Volta
Mos Def
Raphael Saadiq
Nina Simone
Pharoahe Monch
Secret Lives of the Freemasons
Emarosa
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Unwritten Law
The Used
The Killers
Keane (my friend thinks he's dragging me to this concert against my will next month...though secretly, I like them).

So,

(If this list sucks to you) + (you're a person who likes to poke fun)= we may not get along.

However,

(If this list sucks to you) + (you're a person who likes to graciously refer me to some of the stuff you like)= we're cool.

Favorite movies:

Lars and the Real Girl, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Persepolis, Medicine for Melancholy, Orfeo Negro, The Man Who Cried (pretty much anything with Johnny Depp), The Professional, Silence of the Lambs, Pride & Prejudice, etc.

Favorite books:

The Bluest Eye, The Woman Warrior, anything Flannery O' Connor., Praisesong for the Widow, Krik? Krak!, Efuru... and more that I can't immediately remember. Strangely (or perhaps, not so strangely), I have more "must reads" to compile than "best reads".

Favorite Magazines:

I'll look at anything...and tear images out and create a lovingly prepared collage in my scrapbook (a work in progress). I really like Lucky and Fitness (though I don't engage in much)...Essence is pretty good too. As for actually reading the editorials, I'm loyal to none.

Favorite TV shows:

Desperate Housewives, Millionaire Matchmaker, Golden Girls/I Love Lucy reruns, A Different World reruns too. I really don't watch that much tv though...if I do it's usually the Travel Channel, The History Channel, occasionally Lifetime, or NYCTV.

Zodiac Sign

Kids?:
