Hello, Miss Lady.

I'm thinking about moving. Considering it. It could happen - sometimes people move.

And with moving comes the thought of new things, new ideas.

New people.

New people means introductions. Introductions are important. You tell people how to be around you, what you care about, and what you think about them - and you don't have to think much about them.

You don't have to, but I have been.

I've been thinking plenty. Plenty too much, but I've been thinking. What do I think I should tell new people when I meet them?

I have to tell them, what I mean, who I am, why I'm here, and what I'm for.

This is what I want them to know:

I'm Mark.

My favorite movie is The Royal Tenenbaums
I have a large Elliott Smith tattoo
Wes Anderson is my hero, and I want to be him when I grow up

I'm writing a book someone will think is an homage to Douglas Adams, though I started the book before I read any of his work.

I wish that I had Mike Judge's mind when it comes to social issues

I live in the world of art, but my mind works in the world of robots

I'm quiet, so don't worry about it if I don't talk to you
My mind is ambidextrous, so I see what art is for, but I need to get the nuts and bolts that hold it together

I grew up near mountains, so I love water and rocks and little scampery things

I love wakeboarding, but I'm terrified of lakes and other forms of deep water

I like sushi. Like lots. I like it lots and lots. I know it's cliche, but I like sushi and I want to eat it all days and all nights. I want it in my mouth.

Seems like it's pretty accurate. What do you peoples who've met me think?
