About

I, cabochon, am a twenty-three year old female living in Washington State in the great and bountiful city of Tacoma. My real name is Jazlan and I decided today (2.19.09) to migrate seven years of LJ entries to WordPress. The vast, vast majority of those entries are not for public consumption. I start to feel self-conscious about the nonsense I write and go on mad entry locking sprees, so if you intend to read what I write, do so quickly.

I’m a liberal liberal socialist-y democrat-supporter, agnostic with absolutely no interest in trying to find faith (speaking of, watch Religulous if you haven’t, yeah?) and I love houseplants. Also, cemeteries, but not in my house. Also, Wii Fit. It’s awesome.

Yes, well. What else is there to say? Favorites!

As of late, my most often listened to bands/performers of music are: The Decemberists, Queen, Dar Williams, Sufjan Stephens, and Mika. A more comprehensive list would include Guster, Kimya Dawson, The Postal Service, Ray LaMontagne, The Beatles, The Ramones, Louis Armstrong, and Polyphonic Spree, and too many more.

My favorite author is always Kurt Vonnegut; favorite living author, Chuck Palahniuk. I also thoroughly enjoy JK Rowling, JD Salinger, and Ray Bradbury.

For visual entertainment of the television variety, my latest obsession is Doctor Who. The best television program of all time (as far as I’m concerned) is Six Feet Under. Much love also for Firefly and Dexter.

Of the movie type, Edward Scissorhands is a long-standing favorite. Slumdog Millionaire was very enjoyable. My favorite of the Harry Potter series is #3, and as a general rule I like hauntingly creepy and/or musical.
