STUFF I LIKE: my Spooky Brethren (and Sister-thren ;), the internet in general, singing, exploring alternate realities, reading, television (in moderate amounts), sleeping, going to clubs, vinyl clothing, writing short stories and poems, learning to be calm, teaching others not to take me seriously, meeting people, being a mall-loser, bootlegs, cats, chocolate, make-up, and photographs.
STUFF I DISLIKE: homophobia/racism/close-mindedness and all that jazz, sports in general, elitism, most food, the fact that I am both overly sensitive and incredibly desensitized (at the same time), pretentious losers who think they know more than I pretend to know, disappointing others, work, when I act like an anal-retentive control freak, really long list bios. ;)

WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE A: cartoon.
RELIGION: is a bad idea in my opinion, but necessary for keeping the masses in line. I was raised Jewish, but around 6th grade or so decided that there was never a god and that religion in general was a sham. Since then, I have proclaimed myself an atheist and let no religion claim me (though I have not severed my ties with my jewish background - it's a bit tough to do with the number of relatives I have.)
TELEVISION: is wonderful if one doesn't take it too seriously or make the mistake of "killing the messenger" (i.e. hating television simply because it is a tool used by old anglo-saxon males to make money by spewing mindless crap between commercials that blatantly prostitute mass-produced prducts.) I love basically all cartoons and mainly watch EmptyVee, Comedy Central, and Cartoon Network.
