I'm a big fan of: web design, photography, psychology, anatomy, astronomy, the beach, film, gardens, architecture, especially castles, archways and columns, listening to my ipod, making to-do lists, jigsaw puzzles, collecting vintage and new postcards, thrift store hunting, hole in wall joints, live music, pogs (yup, still have em') reading, blogging, experimental cooking, lolly gagging, animals, nature, camping, biking, canoing, people watching and analyzing, strolling, indulging in lattes and other GLORIOUS beverages with natures high, traveling, exploring, get'n funky on the D floor, refusing to grow up, being a slave to technology, but embracing nature, all things that sparkle, cute things.
MOVIES
Comedy, mystery and horror! Psychological thrillers, anything that provokes emotion and thought in general. I tend to gravitate toward the quirky indie films.
What didn't disappointed me: He was a quiet man, Mutual attraction, Hard Candy, Elephant, Pans Labyrinth, Fight club, Forces of nature, The science of sleep, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, The secretary, Boiler room, Drop dead fred, Goonies, ...and it goes on...I'm an avid subscriber of Netflix.
T.V.
I pay for 70 plus channels, but only watch about 10 and occasionally at that...gotta love Comcast's marketing strategies. If it's on, i'll catch Who's line is it anyway, The Colbert Report, South Park, Scrubs, anything food, history, discovery, travel, animal planet, family guy, robot chicken. Oh, once in a while i like to watch UFC, it's like fight club only you get to talk about it! :p Then there's TLC with all the home remodeling/decorating i get sucked into. You know what I miss ? Six Feet Under. That was prime entertainment.
Well, it isn't SFU, and it might be better!
MUSIC
Add me on Last.fm.com!
EVERYTHING...excluding the majority of radio music, rap and most country, which makes me want to spontaneously combust. You should probably let the playlist speak for itself. :)
BOOKS
Milk Run, Fish Bowl, Catcher in the rye, The Portable Dorothy Parker,various poetry by different authors like Poe and Kafka. The most i've read of one author is Michael Crichton. I really liked Time line and Travels. Lately, I haven't picked up more than non-fiction, i should.
most insects
clowns
math
anxiety
crowds
nightmares
daymares (Such as SA & GAD)
egomaniacs
constant self loathers
constant positivity
materialism ( that's not to say i don't like nice things ;)
oblivious people
alot of people
ABOUT ME
So i suffer from SAD, GAD, and depression to one degree or another on a daily basis. Everyday is a battle in my head.
Currently, I'm trying to look forward and not dwell in the past i can't change. My daily affirmation is this: "Failure is the stepping stone to success" I repeat it in my head like a broken record, it gets me through the day.
Right now I'm looking for work, deciding what i want to finish my degree in, trying to make working out a hobby, reading CBT and overall following the bread crumbs back to where I was a happier person.
***Your Social Anxiety Level: 72%***
You have high social anxiety.
You have a pretty serious social phobia, and it effects your life more than you may realize.
It's possible that you've made yourself comfortable by avoiding situations you dread.
But don't be fooled - you still probably need professional help.

Apart from having personal space invaded a bit (which was ok because they were all female hehe) the crazed ones were on the right (I was on the left) until near the end where there was a lot of pushing and shoving. And everyone went nuts for 'Head Like A Hole'.
Have you heard NIN's latest stuff? Not heard 'The Slip' yet.
Hey altrd, Not to worry...I'm as bad at correspondence as you are. hehe I haven't seen you in chat lately. Are we just missing each other when we're online, or are you not going to chat anymore? I noticed the other day that you were in the shout box and said Hi, but since I don't have a clue how the thing works, I left it at that. lol Anyway, it's nice to hear from you. I just got back from a camping/cabining trip on the 30th and am now trying to unwind from all the work involved. Next year, I gotta go for two weeks. One is just not worth all this effort. lol Got any plans for the 4th of July weekend? I think I may go sit in my car and watch fireworks, but whether I'll get the guts to get out amongst the crowds or not, I haven't decided yet. Going with someone might have been worth it, but I'm not sure I can drag my 21 year old along for the ride. hehe Hope whatever you have planned, it's more exciting than mine looks to be. lol Nice talking to you again altrd. Miss that sense of humor of yours in the chat room though. :) Take care and have a great weekend, ev
