I AM A WRITER. THIS IS WHY THIS IS SO LONG. Sorry. :/

*I don't know who to address about this, but okc... how about you stop matching people who have children with people who don't like/don't want children? Seems pretty fucking basic to me. Hi, folks. I have a kid AND I'm a teacher. You don't like 'em, you won't like me. Nice to meet you.

I'm going to -try- to just state facts here and avoid things like "I'm smart" or "pretty ridiculously imaginative", because they are opinion-based. YOU could think I'm a moron. Of course, you would be wrong since you are thinking I am a moron, but us pedantic folks know that a "moron" is an outdated classification of an intellectual disability which is characterized by the person's I.Q. as ranging between 50-69. :D (This may be the only thing I retained from Educational Psych. Thank you, prof.) Essentially, I will try to just stick with the facts though. You can make judgements based on those.

I don't want to be treated like a princess. I want to be treated like a person, with kindness and respect.

*From over -> and above, slightly.. I'm not so much an atheist as an existentialist. I guess I just don't like calling myself an atheist because of the "INTOLERANT DICKFACE" connotation that generally accompanies it. I don't think someone is stupid for believing in a religion.

In the 80's maybe I might have been something of a cool person, but now I am just a weird, demented novelty of 1988.

Genetically, I am half indian. My dad is a full-blood and I spent most of my childhood deep in the community, until my parents divorced and my dad only had me on weekends. Then I was a weekend indian. Regardless, it effected my personality development significantly. I'm VERY indian on the inside. If you know what a real indian is like, anyway. I will never begin a story with "many moons ago..."
And I do bitch about "white people" a lot. >_>
Being an indian girl with very pale skin and growing up in an all-white suburban neighborhood/school put some serious stank on my social development. If I could attribute my weirdness to anything, it's that. That and spending most of my childhood deeply believing that I was the COOLEST kid ever (and being entirely wrong).

I TALK TOO MUCH. And I smile pretty much all the time.

I'm a pretty classic Aries. With the exception of selfishness, you could look up the Aries personality type and I fit it to a T. I don't have the patience for sugar-coating or lying. I'm extremely ambitious, but also impulsive. I don't dick around. Most of the time I just don't care and I am going to say what I feel no matter how other people take it. It also means I'm generous, independent, enthusiastic, and courageous. I'm also moody and short-tempered. I don't take orders well. Unless I have a job as a waitress or bartender. Then I take orders REALLY well.

I really want to see the entire world, working and learning, exploring...

Cultures and people, zoology and conservation programs, history and societies, they are fascinating to me. I've never felt a part of "my" American culture. I'm so awkward and absent. I look elsewhere in the world for my place in it.

I also love music (GOOD music..) and art. I can't talk about Picasso's blue period or french post-modernism. But I can tell you what I think something means or how it makes me feel and why I think that.
I LOVE BANKSY. :)
"Speak softly, but carry a big can of paint." <3

I'm the girl rolling down hills and splashing in puddles, looking forlorn and beautiful. I am the one who picks flowers, climbs trees, and helps people whenever I see the chance.

I am the girl who is so quiet, it takes a paragraph before you know she's talking to you.

I'm symbolism. Horchata and oreos.

I'm dirty and elegant, intelligent but innocent. Dark and wonderful.

...binaries. Endless binaries.

If you can make me laugh, you can make me do ANYTHING. True story.

I'm a mom first. Loving my son & boyfriend. Full time student at Kutztown University for Secondary Education in writing, English, and Literature. I'm a senior.

I love wild animals, learning and traveling. I always wanted to work for National Geographic. A nature show host would be my absolute dream job. No grass will grow under my feet.
In the summer I become Our Lady of Perpetual Green Feet; Patron Saint of Lawn Mowers.

I'm a writer before everything when it comes to jobs. It's not a job, I HAVE to write. I currently have 2 movies and a book in the works. I'm always writing other stuff too. Journaling, poetry, letters, books, songs, short stories.. just crap. Lots and lots of beautiful, observant, artistic crap.

I am also a semi-professional face-painter during the summer. I work local carnivals and festivals... so you can call me a carnie. I will probably look sad thereafter, though. And spend the next few hours contemplating my life.

TALKING!

Making jokes only myself and Gary Larson would get.

Writing, face-painting, growing gardens, making baked goods, and taking care of littles.

Tarot card readings.

Being a mom, girlfriend, sister, friend, and mostly - being myself.

Jeopardy. I'd win if I was more controlling of my mouth. "What is silicon, motherfucker!?" (Alex Trebek just makes me want to be gangster. No explanation.)

doing laundry, singing... mmm.. breathing, rocking out, picking flowers..

Geography! I can label a blank globe (of countries) with a minimum 95% accuracy.

I consider myself to be a good driver. I know how to work a 4-way stop. And I have the patience to do it! =O!!!

Other things - ask my boyfriend. :)

It is in my nature that no matter what I wear, how I do my hair, or make-up, or anything - I look like a witch.
And that I smell good.

Also, my son. Because he's quite possibly the cutest human child you've ever seen. He's usually on my head, or attached to my arm, or he'll run past you at high speeds with a huge smile and I'm right behind him.

People tend to realize that I'm odd pretty quickly. Unless they're lying to be polite.

I stand out. I don't know why. I just do. Maybe it's the witch thing.

I read and listen to everything.. all kinds of stuff.. my mp3 player makes people go into convulsions.

I'm pretty cinematically diverse, as well. Breakfast at Tiffany's to The Incredibles.. I love Pixar, Kevin Smith, Alfred Hitchcock, and foreign films, old movies, film noir. When Harry Met Sally, The Big Lebowski, About a Boy, Notorious, Up, Double Indemnity, Adrian Lyne's Lolita and All Over the Guy, Miente and other crap you've never heard of... good stuff.
I also love the movie Clueless with Alicia Silverstone. LOVE. I own it. It will need to be dealt with.

I love Adventure Time. I will type it again just so it is not skimmed past and its importance missed. I fucking LOVE Adventure Time. I love Adventure Time.

Food is also pretty open, sadly the texture of raw fish makes me gag, though. I'm not hipster enough for the sushi scene. I love spicy (indian and spanish) and soul food - my favourites. Also, I drink coke zero and diet coke like all the time. Like ALL the time.

Books are whatever.. I love to read, I read absolutely everything. Classics, new junk, whatever piques my interest. Some of my favorite authors are: Junot Diaz, Vladimir Nabokov, Sherman Alexie, Gloria Anzaldua, Javier Ávila, and Albert Camus.
My current reading list includes: 22 adolescent lit books. Yeah, fucking 22 of those motherfuckers. On top of whatever other books I'm assigned this semester so I have no time for anything I WANT to read, and the mini and I are slowly working through The World of Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy. In love with it.

natureschild042 -- That one. He's my boyfriend. I think about him quite a bit.
He is also quite gorgeous. But you can't tell, since his pictures are low-quality dog food. :P

Literature, Dinosaurs, the evolution of the human genome, American culture, other cultures, people and how much they suck, making pie, when I'm old, how to make the school system better, what I'm doing tomorrow/in 10 minutes...

What does it mean when someone under the age of 40 winks at you? Seriously, I know old people do it because they're cute and it's their little old-person way of flirting with you or saying "haha, it's our little secret!" (depending on the sex of the old person).
I was picking up my son from daycare when a father picking up his daughter said hi and winked at me. I don't know if he is still with the woman he had this child with or not (for some reason I always just assume I'm the only lame-ass kid in the world who can afford daycare, yet didn't stay with the other parent.) but I know that no one his age had ever winked at me before.
Either way, this dude is a weirdo. But is he a weirdo that wants to buy me a drink? Or a weirdo that has gray hair under his scalp and was saying "haha! We're both parents!"?

Talking to the boyfriend, taking the baby to a movie, etc.

listening to Barry White late at night. Oh baby you were right...

Said it makes you want to fall in love.

I talk to bees.

I have a weird prejudice against people with food allergies. I kinda wanna be like "sheesh, dude. It's a fucking peanut. Relax." I know its not their fault, but it annoys me to have to be so cautious about one's life. I mean... what amazing hero ever got taken out by a strawberry?
This is also why Superman is a pussy. He's boring to begin with; the guy has no personality besides that whiny misunderstood Disney's Hercules thing. Nothing can defeat him except a remnant of his destroyed planet... A rock. That's about as close as defeat by strawberry as I need to call lame sauce.

The people who should ---NOT-- message me list is much shorter.
I had to re-write this, since people are stupid as fuck. If you have a brain and wonder why I keep repeating NOT NOT NOT, it's due to stupid people. Sorry.

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- are a jerk, an asshole, or any kind of loser with no dreams or ambition and aren't doing anything with your life. I like men who are smart, but the ones who are *so* smart that they have no feelings can fuck off. Nihilism might make you a more content person, but so would Buddhism in the same sense. Not to mention, you'd be far less insufferable to the rest of us.

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- do not know that "Africa" is a continent and not a fucking country.

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- are closed minded or done with learning. You have no interest or curiosity towards the rest of the world or its people, literature, human conditions, unusual animal & plant life, anthropology, art, etc...

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- think 'yolo' is an excuse to act like a fucking animal.

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- send me a message and all you have to say is "hi, how are you?" Or "what's up?" Or basically anything less than 3 full sentences. I will NOT respond, because you see..
1) if it's "what's up?" or "how are you?" by the time you see said response, I will probably different. It is a shit way to start any lengthy, comparative conversation and will most likely lead to about 3 messages of pointless small talk and us never speaking again.
2) If it's anything else, like just asking me to talk, I've written more than enough for someone to comment on if they honestly find me at all interesting. If you can't find something substantial to say to me- you are boring or not really interested in me since you can't even BEGIN a conversation.

YOU SHOULD ---NOT--- MESSAGE ME IF YOU:
- just want to have sex with me. I have a boyfriend. I love him. He loves me.
