I'm Awesome/First Post

So here we are, after months of myspace, livejournal, and other blogging options, I have finally chosen to start blogging here. Yes, I still have myspace, but myspace is no longer to appealing to me. Yes, I have a livejournal, everything there is private so if you are indeed a friend of mine find me there. My LJ blogs will be much more personal than this one because I decided to make this one public. Enough of that hoo ha, lets start with really boring stuff.

Here is a little bit about me,I have a very close group of friends and attempt a social life every so often. My dream job was at a bookstore, but because of certain aspects I had to quit and now work in a coffee shop and get routine odd on the job injuries. I like to think I'm interesting, but I'm good at pretending...no really, I'm awesome.

On to my interests:

I like old movies, they are a large part of my life. My favorite eras span from the 20's to the early to mid 60's, but I prefer the silents to most everything else. I also really like the noirs from the 40's and the 50's. And I like fluffy romantic things that make me giddy inside. I use the schedule from the Stanford (by far my favorite theatre http://www.stanfordtheatre.org/stf/) and the Castro to make my plans.

Literature is the next on my list. I love to read and prefer books to people most of the time. I read a lot of fiction, young adult, bios, graphic novels, history, and some current events. I used to work for Books Inc and I still love and adore the company. I have way too many books and spend a majority of time reading. Some of my most loved titles are as followes (in no particular order):

~The Weetzie Bat Books~Persepolis~King Dork~Please Kill Me~Haunted~The Perks of Being a Wallflower ~Clockwork Orange~Echo~Ghost World~Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas~I, Fatty~Valencia~House of Leaves...there are more, I promose, I just don't want to bore everyone too much.

Music is my life, my instruments and music collection are the closest friends I have. I play a 4 string electric wasburn jazz bass, I own a jet something or another model Grestch, I still need to learn how to play it though I keep trying and failing miserably. My music tastes range all over the place, I listen to a lot of rock and roll, punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, swing, jazz, old country (a la Johnny Cash and Wanda Jackson), bluegrass, some industrial and goth.

I'm a little too into crafting. I make my furniture look cool, make boring things interesting, I cut and sew and am now working on embroidery. I will used this blog a lot for posting my current projects and updates on old ones. So hold on tight...(kidding y'all)

So that's about all for me, let the fun begin.
