anyways, I'm rachel, and I'm a scorpio that enjoys long walks on the beach. or not. man, introductions are awkward...
to introduce myself, I'll copy this little gem of a roommate-searching survey I concocted during my roommate hunt for the 2009-2010 school year at UNT:
1. What kind of books do you read?
I read the good kind. but in all seriousness... my favorite writer is chuck palahniuk, and I'm only a little ashamed to admit I dig me some bret easton ellis on a regular basis. but really... I like anything with engaging, real characters, and a plot to keep me hooked. some of the books I've read most recently range from brave new world to up at the villa to a theology book called jesus for president. yeah. I guess eclectic's a good word... or maybe just ravenous devourer or literature. and by that I mean, good literature, not that charlotte bronte shit.
2. What was your favorite class your senior year of high school?
ap european history, because my teacher, tim murray, liked to pretend he was a cynical bastard, when really he probably cared the most of all of my teachers. he's gone to college like three hundred times and has like eight different masters. I want to be him when I grow up.
3. Why is your best friend your best friend?
my best friend ashley is my best friend because she's really good at lesbian sexual intercourse.
4. How would you describe your personal style?
I hate to be trite and recycle that eclectic word, but, yeah. my best friend and I share a room and a closet, and looking at her clothes next to mine, it's kind of amusing. ashley's is a bevy of american eagle and urban outfitters rich people clothes in tones of grey and other boring, muted things, while mine is an explosion of random color, pattern, and print mostly purchased from old navy, the goodwill, or random clearance racks. my closet is also color-coded. it goes pants, jeans in gradient then black pants then green pants, dresses, skirts, jackets, shirts, all of these micro-organized by a. color (white neutrals black roy g. biv) and then color intensity (e.g. pink red maroon).
5. What is your favorite movie or genre of movies?
I like good movies. my favorite movie is paris je'taime. go watch it. I like everything from die hard to one flew over the cuckoo's nest to almost famous to paris, when it sizzles. I like good movies.
6. What kind of music do you like/what are a few of your favorite bands?
I listen mostly to rock and its various variants. my favorites at the moment are indie and folksy music, but that's mostly because my new college town is positively swarming with a veritable bevy of indie-folk hipsters. oh yum. my favorite band is the beatles, and i love old music, and listen to much more old music than contemporary music, though I will listen to random late 80s hip-hop or rap. I essentially listen to anything but contemporary country (I dig me some willy nelson) or contemporary pop music, e.g., anything on KISS FM. I avoid the radio like the plague.
7. Which president is your favorite?
team roosevelt! I dig me some teddy AND franklin delano.
8. Do you attend church or some kind of religious gathering?
jesus is a cool guy, though at the moment I'm kind of having I guess what you would call a crisis of faith, struggling with christianity and what it means for me and whether that's the group I care to identify with. it's an ongoing struggle, I think, for any honest and self-respecting christian.
9. Are you politically minded/interested in current events/world culture?
what in the heck is culture? I'm american, I don't need any of that bull excrement. god bless texas. beer cans and rodeos, that's the only culture I need to know about.
10. Do you like me? :D
well, yes, I've only recently met myself, but for the most part I could say that I perhaps indeed DO like you.
i think i used the word bevy twice in this post... new hipster high or new hipster low?
"3. Why is your best friend your best friend?
ReplyDeletemy best friend ashley is my best friend because she's really good at lesbian sexual intercourse."
Amen.
