OkCupid: ¡Ahora, en Inglés!
I like
indie
movies. Not because I'm a pretentious snob but because I can
get them free at the library. (Note: I didn't say I WASN'T a
pretentious snob. I'm just saying that I'm also cheap.)
I tend to listen to mid
90's music, karaoke standards,
break-up
songs (the happy "ima-get-over-you" kind), whatever is on the
oldie station, and the most saccharine of
indie pop perfection. Once again, my
love for
indie
music stems for my love of saving money. I like to browse sites
that offer all the delicious indie music for free, keeping my
pockets full and my conscience clean (pirating is bad, mmkay?). A
sampling of what is currently on my mp3 player: American Hi-Fi,
Amplive,
Andreas Borg, Basia
Bulat, Bird Kit,
Bishop Allen, Cassettes Won't
Listen, Cracker, Dirty Harry, East River Pipe, Ex-Boyfriends,
greenspace, Hail Social,
Kinematic,
King of Prussia,
Nada Surf, Ollie Bird,
Over the Rhine, Social Studies, Spoon, The American Analog Set,
The Bell,
Vampire
Weekend
When it comes to food I love trying new things. I'm not afraid to
taste something bitter, and sometimes I enjoy it more than
something sweet (what a metaphor for life, eh?). Texture is more
important than taste. Presentation isn't always significant. Food
is an avenue for enjoying life so every meal should be treated as
an experience. That said, never eat alone if you can help it.
Was that too much to read? In short, I'll put anything in my
mouth.
As for books I try to stick to the classics. You know, the books
most people read in high school but are never required in the
county schools (you city kids won't get that). I'm going to sound
cliche, but my favorites are
Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby. I also
like the poetry of
Emily Dickinson, The Prophet by
Kahlil
Gibran, and
feminist essays (
Emma Goldman is my current femme
crush).
Because I'm a social scientist, I really get into
psychology and
sociology articles. I'll blame my
sick addiction to
research on why I haven't read a book
recently.
