#000 - If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight
MY PURPOSE IN LIFE, MOTHERFUCKER, IS TO PUSH YOUR ENVELOPE!
+ GEAR HEAD. TOMBOY. MUSICIAN. MECHANIC. WRITER. DAREDEVIL. CYNICAL AS HELL. ZERO INHIBITION.
I HAVE SAILOR'S MOUTH, AND A GUTTER-BRAIN TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.
WHEN I'M NOT BUSY FEEDING MY CAFFEINE ADDICTION OF EPIC PROPORTIONS, I'M OUT REFINISHING CARS, OR WORKING ON AN ENGINE.
I DRIVE A '66 CHEVY, AND MY BROTHER AND I PHOTOGRAPH AND RECORD ALLEGED HAUNTINGS FOR A LIVING.
IN MY FREE TIME I ENJOY WIELDING MY FIREARM AT THE PUBLIC AND SCARING SMALL CHILDREN.
I AM IN NO WAY RELATED TO EVANGELINE MOTHERFUCKING LILY.
+ BAMF TESTIMONIALS:
detonationn (who shares my RL name): "I now spontaniously orgasm every time I hear my name because it reminds me of you."+ I answer to Waysides, Sides, Remy, Rem, That Awesomesauce Chick, Hey You, and Yo. Should you so choose, you may also refer to me as Tyler, or Mr. Durden, Sir. I don't answer to That Chick Who Looks LIke Kate Austen/ That Chick Who Looks Like Evangeline Lily, Kate Austen, Evangeline Lily, E Lily, ect but feel free to bring another nickname to the table in susbstitution.
+ please comment or PM before friending me. Otherwise I won't know you're there, and won't friend back. Which sucks, because I'm pretty awesome, and I'm sure you are, too. Don't know what to say? Fill out the questionare below and paste the code in your comment.
code:
+ we must have at least three things in common (unless its Supernatural, because that's more than three things right there). Please. I don't want to add people and then lose touch because we don't have anything to talk about. That makes me sad.
+ if you're here because you like my graphics, friend the community
lightboxes, or follow the links to my maker tags at lightened, 
brightlinds and sundaysecretss listed in in my sidebar. if you're here because you want to read my fanfic, please join longroadhome. Looking for my original fiction? Go to my writing community green_seasons+ I post a lot, and in a multitude of places. Often times just lyrics and random thoughts, so I don't expect you to comment to or read every single post. I have a life outside of LJ, as I assume we all do, and I won't delete you for that shit, long absences or hiatuses. For the record, the only time I de-friend is when major drama arises. With that said, please keep in mind that I love comments just as much, if not more, than the next person.
+ I don't believe in God, but I do believe in people. I don't believe in monogamy, or in romantic love. I don't think there is a reason for the way things happen. I believe that everyone finds their own paths, and that the choices they make are never wrong, only different. I support lesbians, gays, transsexuals and pansexuals. I have no problem with anarchy or communism. I'm obscenely liberal. I believe in gay marriage, stem cell research and a woman's right to choose. I eat meat by the ton, drink like a fish, and smoke like a chimney. I have tattoos and a piercing. I don't ask you to agree with these things, I only ask that you respect me and my beliefs. I'll be the first to do the same for you.
+ don't harsh my squee. Please. It's like kicking a puppy. Along those lines, drama or overdramatic behavior are not welcome here. Leave your personal crap at the door. Just put it down-right over there. You're free to pick it back up on your way out. If you have a problem with me, please come to me. If you you simply don't want to be here anymore, delete me. I won't take it personally. If you have a problem with someone on my journal, please tell them, and then tell me. Assholes, jerks, pussies, bitches, burn outs? you are welcome. Friendly debate? Also welcome. Arguing, beating around the bush, and pointing fingers? I'd rather cut my own heart out with a butter knife. My journal is VERY PERSONAL, and very important to me. So please, don't ruin it.
+ lectures aside, I'm a 24 year old kid who lives fast and drives faster. I exist on the brink, and "no" isn't in my vocabulary. I love my family, friends and my dog. I'm cocky, kickass and ready for anything. I'm built like a boy, and I live like one: I work on cars, wear jeans&boots&boxers, I've had my share of one night stands, logged too many hours at the shooting range, and, given the chance, I'll beat your ass to the ground in a game of Poker. I'm ADD, crazy, and compassionate. If you need anything, ever, please let me know. I don't bite. And though obviously I can't be here 100 percent of the time, I try to make myself available to my friends.
+ I abuse CAPSLOCK and I curse. A lot. Profanity, is, of course, encouraged, but I won't lay the peer pressure on too thick. I promise.

the cast (in order of appearance, more or less).
001: Me - The writing obsessed gear-head with a sailor's mouth and a penchant for entering high stakes poker games, wielding her firearm at the public, and shouting obscenities at the barista who gets her coffee order wrong.
002: Chris - The kid brother who burns mac and cheese, has a strange obsession with stale waffles and received none of the male genes in the family. Sam to my Dean. Yes, he really does operate an EMF meter.
003: Kyle - My best friend, boyfriend, former mechanical client and high school lab partner who is the constant purveyor of fast food and sleazy diner locales.
004: Ryan - My right hand man. Born with fighting in his blood; the only person I know who can match me in any brawl. Drifter, joker, forensics geek by profession.
005: Badass - My baby. The black '66 Chevy Impala, constantly in need of maintenance and TLC, whom I'll often refer to as the Metallicar Redux.
006: Blake - Ryan's younger brother. Genius UVA student; astronomy major and technological consultant for the crew. Runner; fast as fuck. Speaks Dub fluently, and never fails to crack me up doing so.
007: Crash - Blake's girlfriend and my high school football pal. Bartender in her free time (we have an ABC store worth of booze in the house), and Life Flight Chopper operator/EMT by day. Outdrinks all the boys and kills it at pool. This chick has cool on lock.
008: Eleanor - Kyle's '67 Shelby GT500 fastback. Yes the paint job is the same, and no the name is not my fault.
009: Steve McQueen - The pitbullish/lab-somethingorother mutt who accompanies us in our travels. Yes, there's a (long) story behind his name.
010: Blake (the other one) - My best friend and former roommate of three years, we've known each other since we were little kids. Bandmate and fellow mechanic. British and rocks the accent.
011: Sam - Crash's younger brother. Professional paintballer. 18 years old if he's 30. Maybe the best banterer I've ever met, and he's not afraid to take you on.
012: Trinity - Sam's deceased girlfriend's sister. Tomboy and UVA Philosophy major. Wild. Good at everything she takes on, especially being our group cook. And yes, Trinity is her real name.
013: Nate - Sam's five month old son. Named after author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Consensus is he's going to be a drummer. Likes to have Bright Eyes, Pink Floyd and Bruce Springsteen sung to him.
014: Palefina - The silver aluminum Macbook that never leaves our sight. Also known as "Boy, you put your finger on my screen, I'm going to whack you with a spoon."
015: Hailey - The colt 1911 A1 semi-automatic that lives in my pocket, or in my glove compartment, depending on the day. Don't mess with her. You'll put your eye out.
