Hi.

I like indie music (Okkervil River, The Rosebuds, The Spinto Band, Kevine Devine, Andrew Bird, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's etc etc), classic rock (The Beatles, Queen, Led Zepplin, etc), and broadway music (Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, The Lion King). I read too much, say too little, drive too fast, and write far more than is healthy for me. I talk to inanimate objects and randomly speak in Spanish. My mother claims that I have too many Asian friends. I say "amazingly amazing" way too often, and sometimes I pull a Beethoven and shake my fists at the sky (that's how he was when he died, people say, shaking his fist at a thunder storm). I enjoy replacing profanity with either "Cow" or "Bach." I hate Dan Brown and love Shakespeare. I hate the entire general movie scene, because all the characters seem so perfect and are all Mary-Sues/ Gary-Stus. Same goes for TV, except for Oprah and House. I'm allergic to cockroaches and have a fish-hook-o-phobia.

Oh, and did I add Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends onto my television list?

I was on TV this weekend.

No, really.

I was waving a little Jesus doll on the CBS morning show, even if I am Jewish.

No, I lie. I'm not Jewish.

I just threw that in there because I was making a point about shameless advertisting.

But I was on TV.

Oh wait, wait, I like Everybody Loves Raymond, too.

I love autumn, the smell of Halloween, and Okkervil River. That last one's a band in case you didn't know. I'm miserable in class because I lack motivation to do homework. I am brilliant, really. I think. Maybe. Albert Einstein did terrible in school, too, so there's a chance that I'm a genius. I like writing long introductions to see if anyone reads the entire thing. I can't cook or clean. When I go off to college, I'm going to be living off of Kudos Peanut Butter Bars, Ramen noodles, and granny smith apples. I hate spending money and love depending on people to make decisions for me. I can't stand silence, so I always either having music playing or the TV in the background. Most of the times both. Add a Wordpad document, seven and a half internet windows, and a game of minesweeper to that, and you've got what I'm doing right now. I hate being busy, but I love playing the Flight of the Bumblebee on the piano. Actually, my flight's more like the flight of a turtle right now. If turtles had wings, of course. I'm a Grammar Nazi, and I love raspberry anything. I still play with Legos and at playgrounds, 'cause I roll like that. I wish my internet connection would come back, so I can actually post this.

I guess I'll just keep typing, then.

I've actually written an entire writing tutorial for a forum once. I think it's about ten pages. Or more. I don't know. All I know is that I couldn't fit it into one post.

When an awkward silence comes up in conversation, I usually say "Soo....spaceships," because of that song "Let's Talk About Spaceships" by Say Hi To Your Mom. Go download it. Like now. I hate sunny days and love rainy ones. The only trend that I actually like right now are those cute little flat shoes, with the bows on them? I have four pairs. Which is a lot for me, considering how before I used to only have one pair of shoes I wore everyday. If I see a hair on my arm that's darker than the rest of them, I have to pluck it out. I'll go insane if I don't. I'm fascinated by the mentally ill, and might be a psychiatrist when I get older. Either that, or some career in English.

"Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars."

Guess what that's from.

Wrong.

Wrong again.

It was from Bicycle Race, by Queen.

I like sleep and plan to organize an army against alarm clocks one day. I try my best to be nice to all people, though sometimes that gets kind of difficult. I'm quite partial to the insult "moron," in fact. One of my favorite quotes from a book is "How like a beautiful statue of ice it was, melting in the sun." That's from Fahrenheit 451. Me gusta el libro. Lo compra. Y lo necessitas leer, tambien.

Want to hear a joke?

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Gorilla.
Gorilla who?
Gorilla me a steak!
