I'm pretty bad about coming up with interesting details about myself. Hmmm...For starters I'm an Aquarius.

I love shopping, love making things and love being crafty. If it's weird, odd or unusual, chances are I'll like it. I'm always up for roadtripping, especially since I don't fly. In fact, I've never flown!

I'm also a fan of getting tattooed. It's true - it is addictive and I'm on a roll with 10. I also like bowling. I'm not very good, but I own a bowling ball! I love playing Scrabble when I can - even if it's online! I've got a DS and a Wii. I still have my 8-bit Nintendo system from when I was younger and it still works! I forget how much your thumbs hurt when you don't play video games that often. Yes. Nintendo rocks.

not big into the idiot box. it serves more as "background" when the stereo isn't on.

off the top of my head, some faves are:

pan's labyrinth, high tension, tron {hehe}, mirrormask, american beauty, sin city, 28 days later, son of rambo, donnie darko, dangerous lives of altar boys, lars and the real girl, dan in real life, little miss sunshine, . . . .
