This was originally a list of some sort, but that didn't work out, so I'll turn it into sentences. I was born on January 19. I live in a St. Louis suburb (not the most appealing place, but it's not too horrible, either.) When time is on my side, i usually am taking part in creative writing (mainly poetry), photography, art, filming, sketching, graphic design, makeup, kickboxing, Gothic and Romanesque architecture (just being around it is enough for me), maybe picking up my bass guitar once in a blue moon and playing it... My favorite bands are Duran Duran, Bauhaus, Orgy, The Doors, The Cure, The Who, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, Erasure, Moby, The Smiths, NIN, Tool, Staind, Korn, Hendrix, Tori Amos, Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, REM, U2, God Lives Underwater, Stone Temple Pilots, Korn, Mindless Self Indulgence, Filter, and Adam Ant to name a few. Some of my favorite local bands are Neptune Crush, 19, The Perverts, and I'm sure I'm leaving others out. Some favorite films of mine consist of Interview With the Vampire, A Clockwork Orange, Rocky Horror, The Crow, The Lost Boys, Edward Scissorhands, Dazed and Confused, Mallrats, Velvet Goldmine, Wayne's World 1 & 2, Tommy Boy, and other original stuff. My favorite poet is definitely Edgar Allan Poe. I fell in love with his stuff years ago. :) If you can't tell, I treasure the shades of red and black. A few other little pleasures of mine are giving people presents, recieving nice surprises at random times, the Carribean, starry summer nights, being trusted, coffee, being able to trust others, fog, big paychecks, Garden District in New Orleans, making people smile, etc. You have to e-mail me for any more stupid facts on myself, heh. -Alison
