I'm like everyone else. I'm different. I know that's contradictory. I can be spastic sometimes, but other times I can be demure. Depends on who I'm hanging around with. I laugh a lot, either because I'm amusing myself or the world amuses me. I like being happy like that. I like interesting conversations that last far longer than expected. I go out to bars alone if no one else will go, but only ones that I'm comfortable with. I love going to shows and I rarely go more than a couple weeks without seeing some live music. Often at First Ave. Good place, that.

I'm newish in the Twin Cities, having spent a good long time in Duluth, but now they are starting to feel like home after 2 years. There's a crazy amount of things to go do here, and it's time to do them. And I have been! Music, theater, improv, museums, a little of everything.

This section needs to be longer. I should work on this a little more.

I solve problems in a production line for making hard drive heads. I'm trying to finish a research paper so they actually give me the master's that I took all the classes for already. I'm having a successful social life during the week even though my friends have day jobs.

I don't know what I want to do for a career yet.

I love cooking. There's some really boring stuff that I make that is delicious anyway, like garlic pasta, pumpkin pie, or cornbread. I hate buying boxes of mixes when I have all the grains I need in my kitchen already. Why pay someone else to add baking powder to flour? I've made entire holiday meals myself, with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and meat. I love making bread. (I love eating it too.)

I'm also good at snuggling. And I'm okay at bowling!

My color-changing eyes, which are reportedly "cute." Photos don't really do me justice. Mostly cause I blink in them all the time!

A) Books: I like non-fiction, cause I like to learn new things. But I can't choose one. I also read Analog sci-fi magazine every month.

B) Movies: Amelie, UHF

B2)TV Shows: (watch way more TV than movies.) Sealab 2021, Red Dwarf, Invader Zim, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Mr. Show, Mr. Bean, Venture Brothers

C) Music: Orbital, Incubus, George Winston, Thievery Corporation, Boards of Canada, Bloc Party, Cake, Charlie Parr, The Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, Barenaked Ladies, Beck, Jazzanova, Koop, Kaki King, Morcheeba, and many, many others. I *always* have music turned on if I'm at home.

D) Food: High quality beer and mead. It's not a meal, sure, but it's edible. I homebrew beer. I also love rhubarb.

At work, nowadays. Work the weekend nights, have fun during the week! So really, Monday is my Friday. And on a Monday night, you're probably going to find me enjoying myself at a nearby bar! After going to see the Monday Night Comedy Show.

When I was young I got a tick where you *really* don't want one. Boy, that hurt like a bitch to get off, I had to go to the doctor and everything. I'll tell you absolutely anything about me if you ask. I have no secrets.

You think I'm cute, or if you like the way I think, or if you just want to know more about me. I like getting messages. I'd rather talk on AIM or one of the other instant messengers than in messages, it's easier to get to know someone that way. Send me a message and I'll supply a screen name. I have been described by my friends as a "chatty Kathy," for what it's worth.
