Just to prove I'm not all unicorns shitting rainbows, I'm gonna
throw in some of the not-so-great things about me, too. I'm
realistic and not completely deluded by my own awesomeness.
Firstly, I don't want to waste anyone's time...I am a
FAT woman.(never cared for the
term
BBW) I do not
believe that sexy or fit has a size. Oh.....and for those who think
that fat girls are like mopeds...keep movin', I'm not
interested....I said I was fat, not desperate.
I am a
roller
derby coach & former player. Now that playing is, sadly, no
longer an option for me(because of injury), I coach The Death
Rattle Rollers for The Slaughter County Roller Vixens. "Skate fast!
Turn left! Hit girls!" My OKC id is also my derby name. I am called
Jenocidal more than my given name. Some of my dearest friends have
been made through my involvement with derby...awesome (and I mean
FUCKING AWESOME) chicks like
Hipkittie.
I've always had a punk rock sensibility, but have never been able
to pull off the look(and it pisses me off).
I believe in the freedoms of others to say and do as they wish, as
long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
If you want me somewhere "on time", its best to tell me a fib about
what that time really is...I'm usually a little late or just in at
the buzzer for most things.
It is an absolute impossibility for me to drive without music &
equally impossible for me to listen to music without bobbing my
head or tapping an appendage. I TRY not to sing when others are in
the car...but mostly, cannot help myself.
I love words. Well written
erotiku renders me weak. Also, If you
can throw down a Q without a U on a
Scrabble board, I will probably think
its HOT, brush the board aside and take you down, right then and
there(which makes tournament play pretty awkward).
I don't judge books or albums by their covers, nor people by their
professions. People are WHO they are, not what they do. I don't
give a shit how much you make or what kind of car you drive.
I value experiences over stuff. I live VERY simply. Not into
big tvs, new computers , gadgets or toys...most of my furniture
came from thrift stores & I drive a $900 car. That being said,
I'm not looking for someone to take care of me. I do just fine,
thanks.
I am creative...but not artistic. I wish that weren't the
case.
If you haven't already figured it out...I swear...A LOT.
Swearing does NOT make me
any less articulate, creative or expressive than anyone else. I do
have a filter and promise not to say F*CK in front of your
mom.
I am quick witted, sarcastic, smarter than most, and admit to
occasional schadenfreude, but only if its wrought with irony.
I am an awesome roadie mom and derby coach to a kickass, guitar
shredding, teenage daughter. I pride myself on her intellect, sense
of humor, street smarts, feminist views, musical tastes, and wicked
derby skills, as they are a direct result of my tutelage.
I love a good cab/merlot, but have also been called a beer
snob...love Nine Pound Porter or any other beer on which you can
float a quarter.
I don't like shoes. I would rather be barefoot, wear flip flips or
skates...and I lovingly refer to my ugly feet as "troll feet" or
"hobbit feet".
A man that can make me snort, spew my drink or make my head fall
back in laughter is VERY attractive to me. I like going to comedy
clubs and watching stand-up on tv. I find humor in just about
everything. (I've always thought that Deuteronomy sounded like it
should be what they call the Scientific Study of Dudes.)
I can't help myself...I have an annoying tendency...to over use
ellipses...to the point of abuse...see what I mean?
I have sent post cards to Post Secret.
Finally brandishing my first tattoo, given to myself as a
liberation present, after 20 yrs in a not-so-great
marriage(AWESOME! SHE HAS BAGGAGE, TOO!?!) It is the word WORTHY in
script, on my wrist, as a reminder to myself, so I never forget
that I am.
I am attracted to those I consider untraditionally handsome. I
think people become only more attractive to me when their intellect
and humor shine through.
Brains and
wit are infinitely more alluring to me than
looks.
Ultimately...I'm looking to connect with someone who gets me.
Someone who can be irreverent and silly....who can take my cutting
wit and dish it right back(without being cruel). Someone who
understands that my passion for roller derby is not just a phase,
and that it is a part of who I am and it makes me very happy.
Finally living my life...making up for lost time.
I love books, and consume them like most people consume potato
chips. There are just too many books to list. I am very well read
an appreciate others who are too.
I like
indie,
documentary
and
foreign
films. Will watch anything with Steve Buscemi. Some movies I
like are:
Harold & Maude,
The
Following,
Fight Club,
American Splendor,
Ghost World,
Romeo + Juliet,
Repo Man,
Run Lola
Run,
The Decline
Of The Western Civilization, and
The Aristocrats . There is a
soft spot in my ♥ for
Girls Rock! A
Documentary, a doc about
Rock Camp For Girls in
Portland, that my
daughter attends every summer(WE ARE BOTH IN THE MOVIE!)
My musical tastes are wide and varied & run the gamut. Whatever
is on KEXP or KUPS...from
Schoolyard Heroes(the kid's
fault),
Elvis
Costello,
Art
Brut,
Ramones,
Joe Jackson,
Dead Can
Dance,
SRV,
Cake(gotta love the vibraslap!),
Kay Kay
& His Weathered Underground,
XTC, I could go on infinitely, but limited
myself to only 10....Man, that was HARD! I like going to clubs,
whenever I can, to see local music. I prefer
local music, made by people I might
know & share a beer with. Currently in heavy rotation are:
The Redwood
Plan,
Kay Kay
& His Weathered Underground,
The Pixies(Doolittle!),
The Thermals and
Mission of
Burma(how could you NOT ♥ lyrics like "Drink only when drunken
to"?!)
I'm not the greatest cook, but I like to be adventurous with food.
I would rather eat street food than dine in a five star
restaurant...usually more flavor all around. I have a
foodie crush on Anthony
Bourdain & think food is just as much about the
experience as it is
about taste.
the usual things like the state of the world and my place in
it...my daughter's future and happiness...our shiny new life &
roller derby!
...oh...and...NORWAHLS...what the fuck?
usually driving the kid and her friends to an all ages show. Friday
nights are usually quiet because I coach derby on Saturday
mornings.
Boring, I know...maybe if someone gave me a reason to do something
more interesting....I would.
I am guilty of having purchased the rap album Standing In The
Spotlight by Dee Dee King (aka Dee Dee Ramone)*
*In my defense, it WAS the 80's and I did a lot of coke.(jk...sort
of)
you can hold up your end of a conversation.
you have encyclopedic musical knowledge and like to share it.
you knew the words zaftig or schadenfreude without looking them
up.
you have read this far and are not terrified.
