random facts

I can't ride a bike. My Elvish name is Tinuelena. I love long hair on guys (but not too long). I dream of one day playing Mimi in RENT. I was a state spelling champ. I have a weakness for chocolate, the ocean, Rivers Cuomo's voice, starry nights, and tenors who can play the piano. I have epilepsy, and it does not stop me from doing anything. I am not ashamed of my "deviant" lifestyle (BDSM). I apparently have a voice somewhere in between Liz Phair and Natalie Imbruglia. And I can never get enough Boston Market mac & cheese.

The English Nerd's Ultimate Alliteration Orgasm

"Voila! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the Vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

--"V for Vendetta"

  My favorite comment on any of my poems, ever:

"I loved this. It's the sort of poem students will have to tear apart in Twelfth Grade Lit, and then, once it's ripped to shreds, a couple students piece it back together to make a crude photocopy on the library copy-machine, and then they slip it in their binders to read again when no one sees." --Holly, on 'Audrey Hepburn Girl'

if you want me to read your poetry, send me an im. i'd be glad to read.

and i don't tend my favorites list too often, so i might love your work and not have you on there. please don't be insulted.
