About Me: I think Filter/Crystal Method said it best:

"I got the understanding of a 4 year old.
I got the peace of mind of a killer soul.
I got the rationale of a New York cop.
I got the patience of a chopping block."

Body Alterations: Only a single celtic knotwork tattoo on my left arm for now. Hopefully at least one or two more will be coming as money and time permit.

Favorite Bands: Depends on my mood. It changes from one day to the next. So for now I'll just list what comes to mind:
VNV Nation, :Wumpscut:, Haub jobb, Stromkern, Soil & Eclipse, Attrition, Blut Engel, Assemblage23, Project Pitchfork, Icon of Coil, Xorcist, Covenant, DIN FIV, Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Love Spirals Downwards, Soul Whirling Somewhere, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Lycia, Faith and the Muse, Current 93, TKK, Rosettastone, Dead Can Dance, Velvet Acid Christ, NIN, Tori Amos, The Cure, Coil, Dresden Dolls, And One, The The, Switchblade Symphony, My Scarlet Life, Tapping the Vein, Ophelia Burning, Tear Garden, Legendary Pink Dots, Clan of Xymox, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Not to mention some old school schtuff like The Damned, Virgin Prunes, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Human Drama. Just all depends on my mood. And just to throw in a few things from left field, anyone who says they don't like David Sanborn, Spyro Gyra or Sting will get whacked in the head with my giant Slim Jim of DOOM!!!

Favorite Books/Authors: Pretty much the same as music. My favorite authors/books just depends on what I'm in the mood for this month.
Poppy Z. Brite, Anne Rice, Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, Robert Jordan, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Stephen R. Donaldson, Harlan Ellison, Joyce Carol Oates, Elizabeth Kostova, Laurell K Hamiliton. Did I mention Harlan Ellison?

Pays The Bills: Go to a warm safe place... go to a warm safe place... go to a warm safe place...

Things I like: Shiny objects (Us ravens are suckers for them), spending time at my favorite coffee shop people watching, a good glass of red wine with a good book, remodeling my place, candles everywhere, blogging... and flowers.... lots and lots and lots of flowers

Things I hate: gangsta rap, having to listen to YOUR music when I'm sitting in MY car. Easy listening music.... there's nothing at all easy about listening to it.
People who send me friend requests before they even know me. This isn't MySpace and I don't care how long my friends list is... and I care even less about how long yours is.
