Hey, I'm Jocelyn.

some things I like: art in all its forms, novels from every perspective, reality and variations thereof, making mix tapes or cds for people, eating cookies, tea, beer, wine, plantlife, neon, rain, coffee (espresso), foreign film, non-foreign film, skinny jeans, sharpies, theme music, reading the yellow pages and checking out what discounts i'll get one day just for being a senior, cooking, biking, second hand shopping, dirty dance music, tattoos, linguistics, philosophical matters, animal husbandry, ergonomically designed articles, arizona fruit punch, vegetarianism, brownies, repertory cinemas, pretty eyes, not fooling anybody, the smell of changing weather, staying up all night, kind words (and scathing ones, when appropriate), suprises, the work of Ingmar Bergman, escaping narrowly (if at all), telling you my life story even though we've just met, knowing when to shut up, knowing when to continue...

some things I'm not such a fan of: trail mix, camouflage print, puppets (not only are they creepy, but also so not a good way to make friends. has someone ever told you that they're a puppeteer? did you think "damn, you are SO cool. can I have your life?" probably not), marzipan, foul-smelling cheeses, studded bracelets, t-shirts with suggestive slogans like "your girlfriend thinks i'm hot" or "i swear it's this big!", clothes with flames anywhere on them, "cute" items (such as a watering can teapot, or napkin holders with little wooden ladybugs glued on top) and not too much else. I try not to hate things much, there are so many more effective uses of both the energy and mental capacity we've got to dwell on things that make us angry...seriously, what a waste of time.

I'd like to meet some of the apparently elusive interesting folks I'm sure Vancouver is just full of, so if you're one of them *please* let me know.

I am much less pissed off in real life than I look in my photos, I promise.

I'm a real fan of people who can hold a conversation. I can't stress this enough, really.

Musically, I tend to dig indie rock/pop (Sufjan Stevens and his magical banjo, Iron and Wine, Neutral Milk Hotel, The New Pornographers, Animal Collective, Radiohead, Beck, Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, Belle and Sebastian, Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene, The Microphones, Grizzly Bear, Do Make Say Think, The Mountain Goats, The Unicorns, Spoon, Elliott Smith, The American Analog Set, Caribou (Manitoba), The Books) and hip hop (no, not 50 cent or anyone affiliated with g-unit, which is in my opinion not at all to be considered hip hop and is frequently mislabeled as such, but the real stuff like De la Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, and the folks of Def Jux records). I'm not sure I'd ever be able to choose a favorite band, but if someone stuck a gun to my head and made me, I'd go with the Pixies.

Film...well, what can I say other than that I am a gigantic nerd about it. Some favorites? Stuff along the lines of Stroszek, Apocalypse Now, almost anything touched by David Lynch or the Coen Brothers, Pulp Fiction, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho, The Conversation, Taxi Driver, Trainspotting, Blowup, Waking Life, L'Acenseur pour L'Echaffaud, Persona, Souffle Au Coeur, Lacombe Lucien, Jules et Jim, Elephant, The Four Hundred Blows, Cries and Whispers, Rashomon, The Royal Tennenbaums, American Beauty, Paris Texas, Rushmore, The Usual Suspects, Cache, Amelie, Happiness, Storytelling, Palindromes, Bubble, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Ratcatcher, Repulsion, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Memento, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Breathless. The list does continue...

I make a conscious effort to be open minded about things, and I hope that you're the same way - closed mindedness is a major turnoff, possibly the biggest in my books. I also hope you know how to be a bit silly and give yourself over to reckless abandon once in awhile (well, not the sort of reckless abandon where we might die, but damn close). All that aside, though, I really am a nice down to earth girl (there, that's about as chliche'd as you'll see me get here) who hasn't been in Vancouver for a long time, and having spent the majority of it squished amongst elitist art students who each think they're the only kind of awesome, I'm looking to meet some quality people for quality shenanigans. Hopefully you're one of them. If so, don't hesitate to give me a shout. Enough about me, though.

This is you -

My silly but serious when necessary parter in crime, but also plenty of law-abiding activities (don't worry). Art/music shows are a must must...other than that, I'm pretty open about you.

You're here already, so why not say hey?

Rob the cookie shop, followed by drinks and appetizers to celebrate our achievement (we'll save the cookies for later). Shortly after, we'll move to Tobago and blend right in.

Or we could just stick to the food and drink, but that's less exciting without the Tobago part.

Cow tipping, perhaps? I know its just a myth, but the concept of cow tipping will always amuse the hell out of me. Maybe we can hang out and be amused by it together while we think of something to do that's not a myth.
If for some reason we're really stuck for ideas, though, we could always follow this unripe banana . He looks like he knows what's up...either that, or he's that awkward friend that everyone keeps out of the loop.
