The most important thing I can say on here is that I love geeks. I probably am a geek or a nerd or something else that denotes my love of learning, but the main point is that I adore them. I also should point out that I'm fat. I know, that may be shocking but it has to be said. I don't want anyone thinking they're talking to some svelte gazelle or something. So yes, I am a fat girl. Yay cookies! Sorry, that was stereotypical of me to make that joke, but I couldn't help it.

I haven't been on here frequently in a long time because I have a lovely boyfriend that I have no interest in replacing but I am always interested in talking to people. I have what I can only describe as pretty much boundless enthusiasm for people and what they have to say. I can also recommend myself highly as an acquaintance and friend and have garnered such reviews as:

"She sometimes answers her phone"

"If it takes 15 minutes to get somewhere, Meganbob will take half an hour to get there and call for directions at least twice"

"Bobilicious"

I can also give you these 'fun facts' about me!

-Orangutans and Marmosets are my favorite primates
-I do not want to swim with the dolphins

-My favorite tv show is Top Gear
-I have never been in a physical fight with someone
-I am on Twitter as twitter.com/Meganbobness
-I have read every single Discworld book because I am that big of a geek about them.
-In middle school, I was sometimes referred to as Daria (from the MTV cartoon) because of my dark hair, large glasses, and tendency towards sarcasm and cynicism

I'm an English major with one semester left before I graduate and a yearning to find out what I'll do for grad school. I'm thinking Cultural Anthropology or possibly work within sociology about AIDS and sexual health.

I'm trying to develop some wine tasting skills as well as learn how to read and enjoy poetry casually. So far both are going pretty well. I also want to try and learn a little bit about cars. My friends and I recently started a book club which I am super stoked about. Our first book is The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

I would rather tell you what six things I would never leave the house without:

1) Water- I always carry a bottle of water in my bag with my wherever I go, even if I'm going to a restaurant because hey, I might get thirsty in the car or something.

2) Chapstick- My lips get chapped really fast and I hate the feeling of my lips being dry so I carry Burt's Bees (TM) chapstick with me everywhere.

3) Notebook and pen- I never know when I'm going to want to write something down or will need to just talk myself through something.

4) A book- It's generally a Terry Pratchett book because it has to be something that will make me feel happy while I'm waiting in lines or for an appointment with a professor.

5) A good cd- I drive everywhere and I don't generally listen to the radio so my car is full of cds. I'm currently listening to "The Singles" compilation of The Clash.

6) Pads and tampons- Pretty self explanatory, I'm a girl and it's best never to leave home without these things just in case.

I used to have just a list of stuff but instead I'm going to just list a bunch of questions that I think about, please message me if you have any (I stress *ANY* answers).

At the flat cooking dinner with my sister, out at the bar with my friends, having a nap, watching tv, sometimes at a play.

That I hate being outside in the dark alone because I'm pretty sure that velociraptors are going to attack me.

Because you're curious, have a question, or feel some kind of inevitable attraction to my inner sparkliness! Or if you have an awesome recipe to share.
