My Notes edit
My self-summary
Here are some things that make me happy, which I guess says
something about me: my friends, my dog, watching a movie in an
empty theatre, wickedly strong coffee with vanilla soy milk, a good
long brood, books that make me cry or laugh out loud, taking two
hours to cook a great meal while enjoying cold beer or good red
wine, live music in a dive bar, Scarlett Johansson in her undies in
the beginning of Lost in Translation, the election, rolling pins,
writing a good story, conversations that last until 4am, and PEOPLE
WHO MAKE ME LAUGH.
What I'm doing with my life
Trying to overcome crippling writer's block....Currently working
with teens and telling myself I'm saving the world (this is a job
that suits me, as I tend to share similar recreational taste with
14 year-old boys...i.e. checking out the new X-Men movie, playing
laser tag and video games, and pondering how cool it would be if
FEMA could be replaced by the Justice League.)
I'm really good at
Conflict resolution...loyalty (this is something of a thing with
me)...embracing my inner (and outer) dork...cooking (my specialties
are spaghetti, Thanksgiving dinner, and a variety of
breakfasts)...losing track of time...balancing my tendency to be
both complaisant and complacent... being totally shy until I get to
know someone and then never shutting up...answering utterly useless
trivia questions...seeing humor in the most absurd and surreal
situations, and laughing at the most inappropriate times.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
Possibly my green eyes or maybe my complete lack of fashion sense.
I really have no idea, as I am a writer and major observer, so I
typically am thinking more about my impression of others than
theirs of me. However, I'm now very curious; I will have to poll
those in the know pronto.
Best answer from my poll..."I thought maybe you were autistic."

The six things I could never do without
In some particular order:
The people I love most
A comfy bed
Intellectual Stimulation
Music
Good Food
My Sense of Humor
The people I love most
A comfy bed
Intellectual Stimulation
Music
Good Food
My Sense of Humor
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My navel, my dog's tail, my existential crisis of the moment, world
peace, songs I wish I wrote (Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow
You Into the Dark" just kills me), clowns, becoming an ex-patriate,
swimming in the ocean again, and, lately, cheeseburgers.
On a typical Friday night I am
Spending time with people I care about, either seeing a movie or
band or just hanging out at home cooking dinner and watching a
video or listening to music and, if I have had a few beers, talking
excessively about whatever is racing through my brain....
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I have an irrational fear (or maybe it's not) of all clowns. I once
encountered a drunken clown coming down the sidewalk towards me in
the French Quarter and I was nearly struck by a taxi as I ran
screaming across the street to avoid him. My then girlfriend peed
herself laughing.
Also...I will never eat the last cookie.
