I am easygoing, spontaneous, and optimistic.
My Self-Summary
Decided it was time to get rid of my bulleted self-summary.
I really enjoy meeting new people, and I think that friendship is a
good base for a relationship (none of that "friends can't date"
baloney). So, I like to take things slow, but maybe that's just
because I haven't found my other half yet? We'll see.
I take my coffee black, generally--though, lately, I've been
sneaking a bit of sugar in every now and then. I love airplane
coffee and I don't know why.
I grew up in a small, Midwestern town, but I really enjoy DC.
Public transportation is great, especially since I don't have a
car. I do periodically get fleetingly homesick, but for now, I'm
very happy here.
What I’m doing with my life
Interning in the heart of it all. I work to keep our water
clean...or try to, at least.
Trying to figure out if I want to go back to school or not. Lots of
options to weigh.
I’m really good at
Remembering to write thank-you notes, especially to my
Grandma.
Ramming my knee on my desk at work.
I also make a mean mojito, though my skills are probably getting a
bit rusty.
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably my height, especially if I'm in heels.
I tend to smile at everyone and look people in the eye when I'm
speaking to them, which I assume people notice.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
David Sedaris' books always get me laughing, particularly "Me Talk
Pretty One Day." I enjoy reading on the bus. The last book was
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," and before that, it was "When You
Are Engulfed in Flames," another book by
David Sedaris.
As for music, I'm currently on a Rolling Stones kick, but I'm no
expert. My new favorite bands are
Noah and the Whale and
Cloud Cult.
I'll listen to any type of music live, as long as people are
actually singing, and not screaming. I find it to be fairly
intimate to watching someone perform.
I'm not really that interested in food, though I can appreciate a
good meal. My studio has the smallest galley kitchen ever, so I
blame my non-interest on that. I eat a lot of spinach, hummus, and
apples, and I have a weak spot for jelly beans. I like pepper jack
cheese and plain yellow mustard. Wow, this is the most boring food
section ever, but it is the truth.
The six things I could never do without
Six things I wouldn't want to live without, but probably could:
tissues, sunscreen, flip-flops, a deck of cards, a pen, and paper.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Numbers, colors, people's habits, what I believe, whether I should
actually get out of bed when the fire alarm goes off.
On a typical Friday night I am
Decompressing, somehow.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
At the risk of exposing my neuroses, I can't figure out whether I
should capitalize the first letter of my answers in each of these
boxes or not. It seems like my answer should be a continuation of
the lead-in, but I'm just not sure.
You should message me if
-You think we might get along.
-You want a new girl bud.
-Especially (but not only) if you enjoy beer.
-If you want to hear stories about my crazy neighbor. He's pretty
wacky.
