Hello crazy internet dating site world! I still don't quite know what to think of you... But here I am.

Ummmm.... I'm shy and awkward, but social. Most of my friends might laugh at the shy statement, claiming I'm the opposite, but that's only once I'm comfortable. Half the time I'm buzzing around doing every activity I can, the other half I hide myself away and game or read. I also hang on to details, yet I'm incredibly spacey. (I was supposed to be WHERE?!) Eh. Oh, and I fall down a lot, but I've gotten really good at not injuring myself too badly when it happens, and laughing at it a lot. - Edit: except for recently... I just broke my ankle and now have a metal plate with 7 screws in my leg.

I'm a nerd. I loooove to read, and I know tons of seemingly useless facts. I'm a medieval recreator with the Society for Creative Anachronism. I like to get pierced. I want more tattoos. I like to cook for other people. I enjoy sewing my own clothing. I love camping and enjoying our beautiful weird world. I also love to sing, but I don't always have an outlet for it. Oh yeah, and I also like to spaz out on the dance floor.

Doesn't quite sum it up, but I made an effort. Go me.

Working and crafting. Hopefully I'll be going back to school soon as well, so that I can be back on my way to becoming a special ed teacher. I'm also plotting to start a business with my dad... we'll see how that goes, but I'm excited!

I'm also trying to get back into my music. I'm finally starting to write some again, so if anyone needs a vocalist, let me know!

Falling on my ass. Singing. Cooking. Making stuff.

The red hair. Either that, or that I'm a klutz.

Books: Too many to count!!! I love Madeline L'Engle, E.A. Poe, Kurt Vonnegut, and many more that I can't think of at the moment. The Hitchhiker's Guide series, Photographing Fairies, Crown/Court Duel, Jane Eyre, Dune, and yes, even Harry Potter. I'll read pretty much any fiction that isn't straight up romance. Oooh oooh, and manga! I won't list all the manga I like... oooh, and I love Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and the cutest little dead girl in the whole world, Lenore. (sorry if my sentences got a little rambly and incoherent... that happens when I get excited...)

Movies: just a few favorites... Photographing Fairies, Repo!, Aimee and Jaguar, Mirrormask, The Fifth Element, But I'm a Cheerleader, Juno, Amelie, The Princess Bride, Pan's Labyrinth, Secretary, Howl's Moving Castle, Boondock Saints... and that will do to start.

Music: I like all sorts. Blues, techno (of all types), swing, folk, rock (of all types), some jazz, bluegrass, classical, industrial, medieval, punk... yeah, that's mostly it. I like bits and pieces of other sorts as well, but not as much.

Food: I like to cook more than I eat. I'm a very picky eater, but I like turning my friends into guinea pigs whenever I find a recipe I want to try or a new flavor combination I've come up with. Don't worry, nobody's died yet!

...and the general essentials for life, of course.

How I'm ever going to finish school. The craziness of living with 9 people and 14 animals not including fish. Why I love living with that craziness. Dumb guys and psychotic women. Bonobos. What book I'm going to read next. Why there's a banana costume in the living room. Life, the universe, and everything.

Working, sewing, and possibly dancing like a maniac. Otherwise, at some SCA event.

I don't shave my legs. It's not some sort of feminist statement, or personal rebellion or anything... The hair on my legs is just so fine and blonde, that you can hardly see it anyways. So I figure, what's the point? Plus, I never have to worry about scratching someone with stubble...

* You have something ELSE to say beyond "You're cute," or some crap of that sort.

* You have more than 50 Pez dispensers.

* You're in the SCA

.... Oh, and I usually don't respond to IMs... the mailbox messages are a much safer bet, although I'm sometimes bad about those as well, just because I'm a space cadet and forget.
