I'm creative somewhat quirky person with a more down to earth side I can't seem to control. Everytime I want to do something crazy, my earthy side goes...wait! Everytime I want to do something practical my quirky side goes...wtf? So I'm a little messed up in the head, but pretty good at mediating the two sides of myself most of the time.

I love words. I love words so much I make them up frequently.

I'm an Optipestic. In my dictionary, that's a blend of optimist, pessimist, and cynic. Also, I'm Slackadaisical and adept at Procrastitigitation.

I'm looking to hang out with more people who are catalysts to practicality.

I see a lot of potential in my life, but not a lot of reason or motivation or tenacity. I guess I give up to easily and become overwhelmed to the point of stopping.

I have 2 jobs. One I love, but I have to be looking for something else. I may love my coworkers, but eventually I am going to have to make more money so I can live like an adult.

Being sarcastic. Making Messes. Thinking about useless things...and abstract ideas. Comma, splicing. Misspelling things. Faking my way through Rock Band songs I've never heard. (now...on expert!)

I'm really good at self deprecation, but not because I want to be, but because I feel I have to "preempt" people's comments about me by joking about myself. It's my ultimate goal to be comfortable with myself, but I'm just not at the moment. That's just being honest.

Sometimes I can be painfully shy in new situations until I feel comfortable, or have a few drinks. It all depends on my mood.

I've been told by friends that I come off as a very strong willed and determined individualistic person. Whatever that means.

I can be loud, and the more excited I get, the more animated I get. I make crazy faces, and crazy random noises. I cluck when I'm happy, I love the word WHOOT, and I can't talk if you tie my hands behind my back.

OK, lets try this.

a. Books: I don't like mystery novels, but I enjoy fiction and fantasy. I read a lot. Chiam Potok, Huxley, Stephen R. Donaldson, Terry Brooks, Orwell, Ayn Rand, Charles De Lint. My Name is Asher Lev, by Potok is my fav. book. I've read it 5 times. The Prophet, by Gibran, and his art are amazing. Life of Pi was tasty. There's just too much really.

b. Movies:Amadeus,Amelie, Musicals, Memento, Pi, Shine, Hedwig and the Angry Inch...oh yeah, and I love movies and documentaries about remarkable artists and such...Basquiat, Frida, Pollock, Goldsworthy and the like. Basically just about everything except teenie bopper "I've got bigger boobs than you do" type movies. The Color of Paradise...fabulous Iranian film. Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain. Rabbit Proof Fence. Repo the Genetic Opera grew on me, and now I own the soundtrack. ha!

c. Music: Mmmm, music. I just can't list.

d. Foods: Seriously? I like just about everything...from sushi to mexican. I'm craving Saag Paneer and Chips and Salsa at the moment...but it changes. Yay hormones.

Art: I mean, come on...its who I am.

My Computer: It died for a week once. I hated waking up with something on my mind and NOT being able to look it up immediately. I'm spoiled.

My Niji waterbrush: Invention of the GODS!! How did I ever use my sketchbook before Niji? I lost it, and I am sad.

The right to individuality: I am who I am, and I'd like to remain so.

The ability to see color in shadow: It's all about perception.

Imagination: If I lost this...life just wouldn't be worth it.

What life could be like if I wasn't afraid.

In the box office, checking people in, answerin' phones, and cracking up at my coworkers.

I don't like to be touched, but I crave it at the same time.

I don't always feel like I need people. It comes in waves.

I'm honest to a fault. Honestly. Ask, and you will get an answer, but be careful.. make sure you want to know before you ask.

Go ahead and message me. I'm in constant need of communication and new and better ways to procrastinate.
