-Bullet points are more efficient than actual, comprehensive summaries. I think.

-I listen to a lot of NPR.

-I eat Cool Ranch Doritos with nacho cheese dip, and it is damn tasty. I also eat ice, no matter how cold it is outside. To some, this is beyond annoying and inspires murderous rage.

-Sometimes, I am adorable. Most times, however, I am just able.

-I've ruined a fancy lighter I had by putting the wrong fuel in it. It was my lightsaber one that lit up with a bunch of flashy lights, too. Tragique, to say the least.

-Bob Saget's stand-up is hilarious.

-My big toes have been broken/dislocated hundreds of times because they get caught on my pants, which are always much too long for me. I am a shorty mcshortkinz.

-It can be really, very, incredibly hard for me to be serious about things. Blame the internet.

-I love love love horror movies and watch them often, but they still give me horrible nightmares. Sometimes those nightmares are really cool, but that's a rare kind of thing.

-I can be really mean sometimes. Mostly this is because insulting people is more fun than an actual barrel of monkeys.

-Goo goo g' joob

And now, a message from destruktolux: "Annie is intelligent and attractive, but few people have truly recognized that yet. She is optimistic and giving without being too much of a pushover, and cynical enough for even the gossipiest of conversations. She has a gay man's taste in showtunes. She doesn't need someone to take care of her, because she can completely do that herself. What she does need is someone to share her awesomeness with."

ADDENDUM: Found a person. She's lovely. Also, much with the awesome and subsequent sharing.

Sex, booze, and rock & roll?

Pretending to be a brat.

Nothing, as I'm a bit of a hermit. Going out usually means there will be a lot of people around and crowds don't get on with me quite as well as they get on with everyone else.

(a) Sylvia Plath, Douglas Adams, Walt Whitman, Chynna Clugston, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 (shut up it counts), Primo Levi, John Keats, Donald Miller, The Stand, Catcher in the Rye, Steinbeck, comic books of many shapes and genres, etc. etc.

(b) I'm going to narrow it down to the stuff I can and will quote from. Serenity, Boondock Saints, Fido, Little Miss Sunshine, Crybaby, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Mallrats, Clerks, Elf, White Christmas, Clockwork Orange, That Thing You Do, But, I'm A Cheerleader, and there's more but this list is getting really pathetic.

Since a lot of people are listing TV shows, too, I guess I'll join the crowd. Lemming powers, activate! Firefly, The Office, M*A*S*H, Doctor Who, Gundam Wing (before you even start, shut up), Criminal Minds, Lost, Home Movies, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Life on Mars, and as before, this list is getting kinda sad so I'll stop now.

(c) Many too many bands to count, let alone name. Everything from early 90's grunge to bluegrass to Brit-pop to 50's surf bands and Mod music. I'm all over the place. If you really need to know what I listen to/am listening to, check this out.

(d) Sesame Chicken (preferrably from Lee's Garden on Wurzbach in SA).

In no particular order:

books, witty banter, music, post-its, words with 'verse' as a suffix, 20 sided dice

Morality and whether or not it matters, the excessive worry I have for friends, how badly I've fucked up before including plans for how to not do it again, long diatribes about how to fix the works of Joss Whedon so they're somewhat less fail, the conundrum that is the tastiness of cantaloupe with hot sauce on it, why binder clips are called binder clips, the best way to tell people about being fascinated by criminal psychology so I don't get strange sideways looks, Benry Gale, and black market beagles.

I don't have typical Friday nights. My Friday nights are so atypical that they're practically Thursdays.

My front teeth are crooked because I never wore my retainer as a kid. Oops?

If all you can say is "omg lol ur funny" or respond to everything I say with ":D haha" then I'll make fun of you and hope that you cry. Sorry, but if that's all you've got then don't bother. ...Wow that makes me sound like a bitch. Distressing!

On the other hand, if you can keep up a conversation that's interesting and (hopefully) funny, go right on ahead. You won't pass 'Go' or collect $200 or anything, but I also won't insult you. Most consider the lack of insults a good thing.
