| Introduction | I like things. I have hobbies. I talk loud. I employ dysphemisms, neologisms, hyperboles, idioms, erotemas and parables in my daily cacophonous rhetoric. Therefore, all discourse should be taken as flippant schadenfreude. I spend my spare time updating wikipedia and urban dictionary. I am a freelance speculator, self deprecation blogger, misanthrope, local celebrity, emasculator, amateur arsonist, future jeopardy champion…and I book rock shows. |
| Interests | logophilia, guys in vests, sleeping, arguing loudly about politics, reading the best of craigslist to make my life less weird, eating, tripping but not falling, trying to see how many words I can make up without anyone noticing, screaming about neil peart and john bonham outside of clubs in DC, fixing the grammatical errors of text messages/ emails/status updates, seeing how many saltines I can eat in a minute, making anyone that comes to my apartment watch marathons of ridiculous shows, breaking the same foot over and over, self deprecation blogging, emasculating every guy that hits on me, yelling at my dog, having intellectual conversations in loud venues, reciting obscure movie quotes, making wildly inappropriate jokes, being socially awkward, throwing things at people when they aren’t looking, parallel parking, dropping everything due to poor dexterity, obsessing over jenny lewis, making numerical lists where order has absolutely no relevance, continually writing and immediately deleting hundreds of pages of a manuscript, ballroom dancing at rock shows, using large words and complicated syntax around total idiots, having rage moments, writing things down on my calendar and then still forgetting, high-fiving people instead of shaking thier hand, hanging records in my apartment, kicking cats, being irrationally neurotic, giving embarrassing nicknames, using ATMs in Korean when there’s a big line behind me and putting phil collins on the jukebox at metal bars. |
