I am flawed, recovering, and loving.
My Self-Summary
I'm a woman who will probably laugh at your jokes (easily
entertained) and remember how you take your drinks. When I become
close to someone, that person matters very much to me, and I am a
pleaser.
Make a weird random noise at me and see what happens. You may be
refreshed by the result.
Every word you hear me say will be a truthful one, though sometimes
misdirected. I'm missing the content filter most people have right
before words become audible to others. Is your filter broken, too?
Awesomesauce.
I'm bad at wearing a mask to hide anything. But, at least what you
see is what you get. And I'm sensitive. That's an overused
adjective... when I say it I really mean it. (That's the case with
lots of the things I say.) I can explain more if you really want to
know.
We (humans) need humor to cope. Stupid jokes, clever wit, and
satirical wit are hilarious and necessary. There isn't much that,
if I meant to be amusing, I won't laugh at.
What the hell else do people want to know in this section? I've
rewritten it a few times, but I always end up feeling like I'm
missing something.
Here's something: I like to think of myself as an approachable,
generally cool (albeit geeky and very strange) person. Mostly. (My
gut instinct is to put a list of all the flaws I can think of, but
I have been advised by strangers and friends alike that this
instinct is stoopid.)
What I’m doing with my life
I'm getting settled in my new job working in a bank lockbox. (Note:
I am not in a box. The "box" is figurative. I am in a processing
room with other human beings.) In essence, I open mail for the
bank's customers and look for money . Once I've fished out the
money from a stack of mail for a customer, I arrange it all
procedural-like and it goes on to the next widget-maker in our
clean factory. Repeat ad nauseam.
It's rhythmic, low-stress, on reasonable hours. I'm thankful for
it, mostly, since the past few years have been full of bad luck in
the employment department.
Since graduating from OSU I have a lot more time to enjoy things. I
love to play computer/video games, surf the internet, knit, read,
watch movies and television, and listen to music (often while
singing along).
I’m really good at
Being perceptive to the little stuff, but still usually missing
bigger things that other people usually notice.
Hyperfixating.
Procrastinating.
Knitting. Extremely useful as a creative outlet, practical, and
appropriate for my love of cold climates.
The first things people usually notice about me
I walk slowly, even when I hurry.
People probably notice immediately that I am overweight, white, and
female. Soon after, they probably notice that I speak my
mind.
I'm not often subtle.
After more careful examination, I get comments about my eyes
(particularly from the photographs). I'm flattered by all the
compliments I have received, but my favorite comments were that I
have "sad" eyes or "angry" eyes.
What did you notice first?
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books include
Misery,
Ender's Game and related books,
Watership
Down,
Harry
Potter,
Twilight and related books.
Movies include
The Rocky Horror
Picture Show,
Pulp Fiction,
Fight Club,
Kill Bill,
The Omen,
Soylent Green,
Office Space, any
Indiana Jones,
Superbad,
Borat, and an
assortment of extremely
gory horror flicks (particularly foreign stuff
that gets banned). I'm still a fan of the
Saw series.
Music - I love alternative music, punk (various definitions),
soundtracks from musicals, rock, some classic rock, blues,
bluegrass, folk, some pop (but not teeny-bopper pop)... I'm
redefining my tastes after the events of the past two years, so I'm
impressionable at this stage.
I don't like spicy food - I prefer simple foods. When it's cold, I
love grapes and clementines. When it's warm, I love watermelon and
cantaloupe.
The six things I could never do without
1. Reason.
2. Plastic.
3. Lycra.
4. Electricity.
5. Love.
6. Sex.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I'll refrain from divulging all this right now... but if you really
want to know the kinds of things I think about, you better prepare
yourself for a hefty answer.
I'm no savant, philosopher, scientist, or visionary... but I have
what they call a "rich inner life" and I do think about a variety
of things.
Plainly, I will never claim that you will derive some prophetic or
guiding wisdom from the shit I think about, but I tend to give
honest answers to questions like this, so... ask at your own
risk.
That applies to any question, really.
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably at home tucking in early for work Saturday morning.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My body shape and weight don't match who I feel like inside, but I
wouldn't trade my face for anything.
(I've been revamping most of this profile fairly drastically, but
this statement still stands true and honest enough.)
You should message me if
I'm in a place right now where I am indifferent as to whether you
message me or not. I check my stalker list occasionally, and
sometimes I send out a message to someone who looks interesting per
the profile... but meh.
And yes, I realize that I'm cutting off my own thumbs by being
passive, but at least I'm here at all.
