I hate About Me sections. I don't know what people want to know. Hopefully no one will be offended by a listy-deal.

1. I chew ice because I'm anemic.

2. My last name was my mother's maiden name- my dad took her last name because she only had sisters.

3. I speak a bit of German, enough to order some food but not enough to hold a whole conversation.

4. Actually, I can order food in a few languages. I love food.

5. My favorite flowers are carnations. I like to grow orchids.

5. The best definition I've got of my sexuality right now is pansexual, but my friends have deemed that too conventional. They just call me the lesbonym.

6. I love photography with all my heart. Bad days, I carry my camera with me everywhere and I start to cheer up gradually.

7. Family is super important to me (of course, I think it is to most people). I've finally grown up enough that I appreciate my small family (I'm one of those dreaded only children) for how awesome they truly are. Being away from them at college really sucks sometimes.

8. Personality-wise, I really can't say. I'm fluid. Some days I'm bubbly as hell, others sulky. Some days I'm crazy outgoing social, and others I would way prefer to chill out inside and watch a movie, or go on a spontaneous nature walk. If you're looking for one of those girls who "has it all figured out" I'm not her. For sure, I'm romantic, passionate, creative, type-A, hopeful to a fault, and an avid seeker of all things beautiful in this life.

9. I like when randomly in the middle of an average day I smell a scent I haven't smelled in years and it brings back a huge rush of emotions.

10. I'm fickle with hobbies. My likes in a given span of time will range somewhere from photography and orchids to knitting, crocheting, reading, painting, sculpting, making jewelry, singing in the shower, thrift-hunting old records, learning languages, cooking, or OCD cleaning.

11. Probably the only thing I can't deal with is people who intentionally harm other peopleanimalssentient things (and I'm really still defining my opinion about what's sentient, so just for good measure, I don't like people who mistreat trees).

12. I don't like cheesecake or key lime pie. It's okay, you can disown me now.

I'm not completely sure what I'm here looking for, but I know it will be difficult to find. I want someone who inspires me, will take adventures with me, and feels the same way about me that I feel about them. I read this very interesting article the other day which espoused a theory about the way people love each other. While it may not be true for everyone, I find it applies to me, mostly. The theory is that each person has a set way they express love, and that the best way to get along with someone in a relationship is to find someone who likes the way you love and loves you in an equally complementary way.

Edit: Lovely ladies of OKC (and the occasional persistent man) at this point in my life, what I'm really seeking is a friend. I've got love and a nice apartment, but I seem to be friendless in this big 'ole state. I would rather have someone to bake cookies and knit with than get all "benefits"-y.

I'm currently in life limbo, to put it gently. I've moved halfway across the eastern coast on the hope that I might possibly be able to get a job or internship or into grad school soon. Some days I manage to convince myself it was a brave decision, but lots of days I want to throw all my shit in a suitcase and hightail it home.

Also, it turns out the current economy has rendered a bachelors degree essentially useless, so while I've graduated with my BA, I am currently one of the many food service peons.

Anything, the first time I try it. I have crazy beginner's luck. Overall, I'm bad at talking on phones, decent at taking pictures, and great with directions. I have a knack for finding music that will become popular some months later.

My eyes. Yes, my eyes are really blue. I've had them my whole life.

This might take a while.

Books: Love in the Time of Cholera, Feed, Franny and Zooey, World War Z, Anthem, Annie on My Mind, The Penelopiad, cookbooks.

Movies: The Life Aquatic, Science of Sleep, Seven Pounds, Imagine Me and You, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Jerk, anything Kubrick.

TV: How I Met Your Mother, Firefly, Buffy (ok, fine, ANYTHING Whedon), House, Exes and Ohs, The Real L Word, How It's Made, Chopped, Top Shot, Tosh.0 (UCF alum woot!)

Short list of right now= Mountain Goats, Regina Spektor, Sufjan Stevens, Josh Ritter, Noah and the Whale, Ingrid Michaelson, Inara George, Architecture in Helsinki, Tori Amos, Ani Difranco, Mumford and Sons, Tegan and Sara, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Fleetwood Mac, Shawn Colvin. Yeah, I fight the other Indie kids for points. *If you like: Snow Patrol, Lady Gaga, or Jack Johnson, we can't be friends.

Food: If it's edible, lemme at it! Thai is my favorite.

How to fix all of the world's problems.

Typical? What is the meaning of that thoroughly unpleasant word? If I'm not hanging out with my friends at one or another of our apartments, I might be at home reading or crafting or even just watching a good old classic movie.

I'm always up for finding a new bar or restaurant, or going to a show or performance, but for the foreseeable future my grandiose ambitions of art and culture adventures are limited by my teensy budget.

Oh, and for the record, I'm not a huge fan of club-type situations.

Basically, in a year, I don't know where I'm going to be, or what I'm going to be doing. But I know I'm going to have some fantastic adventures, and I would love a partner in crime.

you're anything except normal.
