[Keely]

Welcome, Keely!  What's with the ;*  ?

Favorite movie: Radio Free Steve
Favorite book: A Place of Greater Safety, by Hilary Mantel
Favorite comic strip: I'm embarrassed to admit I don't read any. I do like graphic novels, though.
Which goonie would you want to share a studio apartment with? And I have never seen The Goonies.
Skills/hobbies: Fiddling, extreme sarcasm, writing odd little stories, falling up/down stairs gracefully, dreaming up grandiose plans for creative success.
Skills/hobbies you wish you had: The ability to write three-minute pop songs of such extraordinary perfection that all those hearing them would instantly understand the physical experience of a broken heart. Also, mad ninja skillz. And a good understanding of analog recording.
Last CD you bought: Page France, Hello, Dear Wind

Favorite poem: currently James Tate, "The Radish"
Best popsicle flavor: Dude, popsicles are gross. Give me something with straight-up chocolate in or surrounding it.

Favorite word: [incredibly, amazingly, fantastically, unbelievably]
Favorite word for kiss: I am of the opinion that there is no non-awkward word for kiss in the English language, and I am pretty dubious about the potential of other languages I'm familiar with, too.
