I'm a film student in Boston. I graduated with a useless degree in film and am now kind of a teacher. I write a little on the side. Knit, too. I'm in a great relationship so I'm not cruising for sex or anything. I just like to keep my actual journal separate from where I can browse LJ porn (the actual journal being themightybotox).

I wish I played an instrument cause guys in bands are hot and I think it would increase my hotness by about forty percent. I'm an avid reader and on the bad days I wish I had been a lit major. but now I'm sort of an english teacher, so yay me. I love all kinds of music, but among my most favorite are: Aimee Mann, Jon Brion, Neko Case, Joni Mitchell, Sam Phillips, (old, indie) Liz Phair, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Buckley, Siouxsie and her illustrious Banshees, Blondie/Pretenders/Cars, Andrew Bird and the musical scores of Stephen Sondheim.

Filmmakers I admire, in no particular order: Woody Allen, Jean-Luc Godard, Ingmar Bergman, the Coens, Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, Andrei Tarkovsky, Hitchcock, P.T. Anderson, Gus Van Sant, Robert Altman, Scorsese, Fellini, Billy Wilder, David Lean and David Lynch. I've grown out of David Lynch (except for Wild at Heart, naturally), as should everyone. I adore French New Wave and New American Cinema, and against pretty much all logic I loathe Queer Cinema (with the exception of Van Sant, Todd Haynes and the occasional Warhol/Morrissey movie).

I'm a pretty nice and normal person.
