Who am I? Good question, wish I had an answer for you. In all seriousness, I can give you a list of things I do and like; your guess is as good as mine for who I am.

Magazines I subscribe to:

* Salon.com
* Nerve.com
* The New Republic
* Self
* Cosmo
* The New York Book Review
Ok, next up are things I like. I think 10 is a good, round number.

1. Writing
2. Music (esp. The Dresden Dolls)
3. Reading any and all fiction, so long as it's good
4. Being in love
5. My sadness (weird, I know, but it's good to draw upon)
6. Dying my hair red. You'd be suprised what a disadvantage being blond can be.
7. Learning.
8. Singing at the top of my lungs in the car
9. Bikram Yoga
10. Smoking Cigarettes while writing on my patio (during the rain a big bonus)

And (you knew it was coming), 10 things I dislike:

1. Our fear-inducing leader, Mr. Bush.
2. Fear, especially my own
3. Insomnia
4. People disappearing from my life
5. The inability to sleep when I'm tired, awake naturally, eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm thirstyin our society.
6. Going to work when I could be so much more productive at home writing, taking pictures, playing music. Again, not considered valuable by society. Who knows if I would write if I could stay at home, though.
7. Being addicted to cigarettes - no longer!
8. Multiple Sclerosis - I'm allergic to my own brain. How much more self-destructive can you be?
9. The pitiful way I handle stress. It works, but it's not pleasant
10. Days I don't want to leave the house.

My passion is ...

words. Reading them, writing them, how they interact with one another.

I know too much about ...

Gothic British Literature.

My parents always told me ...

I could be anything I wanted. What a bad set-up! Too many choices begats indecision and inaction.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a writer.

My favorite memory ...

is meeting Woody Allen in Manhattan (where else?).

Why I write ...

beause I'm bizarrely compelled to.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm currently reading The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Listening: Amy Windhouse, The Dresden Dolls, Humanwine

My first job ...

Working in a Bagel Store where I concurrently sliced open my hand and a bagel.

My best moment ...

is when I realized I get paid to write for a living.

My inspiration ...

is William Blake, many of the traditional British authors and the Gothic/Romantic movements.

Entertainment > Movie Genres Zombie movies: Which are more effective, fast zombies or slow zombies?

7 of 44

Legions of the undead are gaining on you. Which would frighten you more; a herd of slow moving creatures that appear to lack coordination and mental capabilities or one that can run as fast as you, jump on your and eat you alive? As you can see, just one fast zombie is more frightening than vast numbers of slow zombies. While I personally think slow zombies are more fun to watch, the question at hand is which one is more effective.

Slow zombies are dumb, ill-moving beings. They can be outwitted by nothing more than a baseball bat to the head, and it's an easy target on something tha...
