Before we get started, working full time and studying for the LSAT seem to have consumed my life. This is not to scare people away... just being honest. I can only imagine what it will be like if and when I get into law school. Ugh.

I moved to Kentucky from the Los Angeles area around eight years ago, and I STILL wake up wondering where I am sometimes, and just exactly HOW I ended up here!

I also love to travel and dream of traveling around the world, visiting far off countries I have only read about! I also can't get enough of roller coasters!

I have also discovered that sometimes I do not get the joke until the end, and then I laugh inappropriately loud and long, which makes other people laugh even more! It's a fun but unfortunate cycle!

I try to surround myself with positive people, but it does not always work. I am also too curious for my own good sometimes!

I am looking for new friends! I find being surrounded by teenagers nonstop makes me wish for deeper conversation.

I have a habit of getting swallowed up by life and work, so anyone that can bring me back down to earth and remind me that there's fun to be had out there is awesome!

I have a Master's Degree in Education, but I am not teaching much at the moment. I DO work for a university I am sure you have heard of if you live near me, and I absolutely love my job. I also take and teach classes when I have time!

I am single, never married, with no children. People tell me I really should work to remedy this situation, but I am too go-with-the-flow to worry too much about it! And now with law school looming, I'm much more careful who I spend my time with.

I'm slowly teaching myself how to cook. The results are... mixed.

I'm good at more things than I can do justice in a silly "About Me" essay.

I can make people laugh, I pay attention, and tend to not lose my head in stressful situations.

I love all things supernatural or horror related but I am terrified of: clowns, ghosts, and snakes.

I am also good at making any situation awkward. Any. Yes, I can even make your reading of my profile awkward. Watch...

...see? AWKWARD!

The first thing people notice is that I have perfect punctuation in my IMs and text-messages. It's a sickness. But if impeccable punctuation is wrong, baby, I don't wanna be right!

I love suspense, classic horror (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.), and others! Also, I love the old radio show horror stories. I also like classical literature and poetry. Dan Brown books are okay in small doses. I loved the book Wicked, and I grew up reading fantasy books! I am also not ashamed to admit that I devoured the Harry Potter books! All seven books in five days! I'm also (somewhat grudgingly) going to start reading the Twilight series soon. *UPDATE*: Three months later? NOT EVEN STARTED!

My favorite movies change every day! Some always-favorites though are: Boondock Saints, Batman, Batman Begins, Dark Knight (see a pattern?), comedies (Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin, Step Brothers), A Christmas Story... and of course, anything horror!

Music varies. I listen to everything from heavy metal to opera. I don't listen to much country though, and only a little rap.

Food is amazing! I love all kinds of different foods. Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, a good steak or other meat-product, Mexican, Southern... I could go on and on.

Restaurants of choice: Pho BC (Vietnamese!), Punjab II (Indian), The Pub (British \ Irish), Columbia Steakhouse (For eat-meaters!), and B.D.'s Mongolian Grill (Umm... Mongolian Grill done by people who try, but have likely never been to a real Mongolian Grill, but they're good anyway, damn it so ~I~ like them!) Ummm... sorry about that last one! I get a little passionate when defending underappreciated foods!

Why don't they include TV shows though? Those are just as important in the grand scheme of things, yes? Supernatural is my favorite TV show. I love and miss Firefly and by proxy, Serenity is one of my favorite movies as well... Even IF I don't like how it turned out for at least four characters!

Six things?

1. Internet
2. iPhone
3. Music and Movies
4. Intellectual Stimulation
5. Other Stimulation
6. YOU!

(That was my attempt to be witty. I probably failed.)

...far away places, 80's movie plots, Vietnamese food, and my next vacation! That and Logic Games on the LSAT. How could something with "games" in the title pain me so?

I am either vegging in front of a Blu Ray, hanging out with friends, or working because I procrastinated during the week! Oops!

Or I am making sure hundreds of fraternity guys don't lose fingers, catch weird incurable diseases, or otherwise break something important.

Reading back on all that, I really need a new hobby.

I'm a bit of a gypsy. I've moved over 40 times. I'll keep going until I find everything I want.

Not good enough? FINE! I have my tongue pierced, but it's more for utility than a statement of rebellion or whatever! SEE? Now I've left that hanging in the air, and it's all awkward!

You are somewhat intelligent, good-hearted, and drama-free!

Although, some drama is occasionally fun, so if you meet all the other requirements, I'll overlook the drama part!

Being a nerd is a huge plus. Being the elusive gamer-chick is a guaranteed second date. If you don't know what a Ren Faire is, and the idea of going to a horror convention does not elicit a response akin to, "Eeeeeeeee!" with much jumping up and down and clapping, we might not get along well!

Sharing my interests is a huge plus, more for you than me, because if we have absolutely nothing in common, my life will seem strange and filled with much nerd-things!

Or if you're bored and I sound interesting!

Having a pulse works too, unless you are a sexy female vampire! In that case, the pulse thing can be forgiven. No zombies please.
