Here's a bunch of shit about me:

I am really into music and I am accomplished with several instruments since I was very young. I don't go a day without listening to and playing SOMETHING, and I listen to just about everything out there. I'm not particularly good at drawing or painting, but I like to try every now and then, just for personal stress relief I guess. I'm not trying to make a million dollars, just put a smile on my face. I am an amateur carpenter... I am a carpenter, in that I try to build shit to use in my house, like my sweet art table... I am an amateur in that everything I build sucks.

I think tattoos and piercings are very sexy. They are not, by any means, a requirement. I have a few tattoos and plan to get more, so if that bothers you, later =P

I am loud and tenacious when I watch Jeopardy! or Cash Cab. I love playing games, and I am very competitive, but I'm not a bad sport, I just love the fun of the game!

I love sports, and I watch just about any of them. Baseball and Football are my favorites by far though!

A list of random things that make me happy: Movies, music, food, the beach, coffee, classic literature, reminiscing about childhood fads, billiards, board games, hammocks, being goofy, conversation, watching my teams kick ass, animals (especially my buddy, mugsy), comedians, paranormal investigation shows, curling up on the couch.

A list of random things that piss me off: Liars, humidity, people who are misinformed and think they know everything, violent people, when batteries run out and I have none lying around, the current temperature in my office, manipulative people, people who live in glass houses and throw stones, people who try and impose beliefs on you, people who spend more time on their cell than paying attention when you are trying to have a conversation, that's just rude... and also rude people piss me off lol.

Read the rest of this junk and if you think I'm interesting, drop me a line! I'm not looking for a one night stand or a booty call. I want a meaningful relationship. Race or religion are no obstacles for me, I'm an equal opportunity dater. Also, please be able to hold a conversation, intelligence is the sexiest part of a woman, in my opinion.

I own a small business that does web, graphic, and print design. I'm also a small-time programmer. I do back-end web development too, but I don't exactly have interest in doing this as a profession, as I hate it.

Aside from that. I'm living it up, I guess. I like going out and having fun with friends, and getting my "do" on.

Making people laugh, being an awesome friend, giving massages, piano, guitar, singing, technie/nerdy shit, cursing more than I should, making up acronyms for stuff, watching tv, sleeping, zipping up zippers... and then zipping them down too, marking things with sharpies, sitting on chairs, coming up with ridiculous ideas for things that would be sweet but would never work.

I really have no idea! My boyish charm? lol. I'm not shy, so people usually notice my sense of humor right away. A girl at a bar once told me I have "very kind eyes" so maybe that? I have no clue. It depends on what I'm wearing too... if I'm in shortsleeves they probably notice my tattoos. If I'm naked... they probably notice my genitals.

Oh wow... these would all be ridiculously long lists. I'll try and just add my favorites, if you think you care enough to learn more detailed information for any of these, then it's time you messaged me!

Books: The Song of Ice and Fire series, anything by Terry Pratchet, anything by Neil Gaiman (especially Good Omens), The Universe in a Single Atom by HH The Dalai Lama, most classic literature, Tolkien, Dragonlance, Shakespeare, most books by R.A. Salvatore and Robert Jordan, O Henry, Chuck Palahniuk, Dan Brown, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and a limited selection of non-fiction books, like biographies and such. I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to. Alright... and I've read all the Harry Potters too =P

Movies: The Big Lebowski, 40 Year Old Virgin, pretty much any comedy in that vein, Fight Club, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Pulp Fiction, The Princess Bride, mostly every Pixar movie (and all similar movies of the style) Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars, most movies that star Steve Carrell, Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Johnny Depp, John Turturro, de Niro, Pacino, Jack Nicholson, CLINT EASTWOOD (easily my favorite actor/director/producer). I actually DO like some romantic comedies (and more chick flicks than I care to admit to). I love gangster movies, westerns, slapstick, goofy comedies, suspense, thriller, SOME horror (although I don't think any of them are really that good), action, espionage (I've seen every James Bond movie, Scotland Forever). I am a big classic movie buff. I do go to the movies at LEAST every other week, though, so I am always seeing something new! I know I listed a lot of goofy stuff here, but I do also appreciate FINE film, not just silly comedies lol.

Music: Ok, this list would be MASSIVE, but I'll sum it up with what I listen to regularly. Incubus is easily my favorite band, I've seen them a dozen times live, and I listen to them all the time. Lamb of God, Breaking Ben, A Perfect Circle, Beatles, Zeppelin, Kings of Leon, Jason Mraz, John Legend, The Grass Roots, The Doors, The Who, Bad Company, Eric Clapton, the Stones, Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine, Street Sweeper Social Club, Soundgarden, Billy Joel, Sinatra, Foo Fighters, RHCP, Coldplay, The Weepies, The Fray, Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, Rachael Yamagata, Tom Petty, Foreigner, Jack's Mannequin, Radiohead, Keane, Deathcab (and all similar projects involving Ben Gibbard, including, but not limited to The Postal Service), Velvet Revolver, DMB, Coheed and Cambria, The Cars, Modest Mouse, NFG, Snow Patrol, White Stripes, Mars Volta, Imogen Heap, Harry Connick Jr., Corinne Bailey Rae, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Primus, Jamiroquai, Queens of the Stone Age, and oh so many more. My interests aren't really even limited by genre, these are just what immediately came to mind. I love everything from classic rock, easy listening, metak, oldies, rap, (some) country, classical, jazz, pretty much anything!

Food: Well, I'm Italian, so naturally I love Italian food, and my grandmother made the best you've ever had. I actually did a brief stint in cooking school, so I consider myself a decent cook. I'm a foodie though, I'll try anything once, and there's RARELY something I don't enjoy. A few of my favorites though: Alfredo, pizza, cheeseburgers, salmon, hoagies, chicken wings (mmm I want some right now) and fruit. I have NO tolerance for frozen fruits in my ice cream though lol! That is just annoying to me hehe.

I guess I'll add TV, since I think it should be a category anyway:
Adult Swim, Discovery Channel, NatGeo, Comedy Central, SportsCenter, YES! Network (gotta love Mike Francesa), B0nes, The Office, Family Guy, Futurama, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, House, Scrubs, Iron Chef!, Unwrapped, Good Eats, Emeril!

Wow... I typed way more than I expected in this section. That's not even the half of if either, christ.

I'm not gonna say friends, family, air, and shit like that because those are all given.

1. Coffeeeee (or tea if the mood strikes)
2. My computers
3. Comfortable shoes
4. Music
5. Something on my mind
6. A nice shower

What kinds of antics I can get involved in. Where I'm gonna head to after I get sick of working for the day. What am I eating for dinner?

How cool it would be to be a lumberjack. A stereotypical one though... think about it. They get to wear flannel... suspenders... wool caps... and have rugged beards... that's so fucking classy.

Probably out with some friends, and if not, then probably chilling at home watching a movie or playing games.

I'm deathly afraid of heights, large expanses, and the ocean. I love the beach... but I think something is going to eat me all the time. No idea why.

You think we'll get along, you want a good friend, you are intelligent enough to carry on a conversation, you want an awesome person to do some cool shit with. Really, just fuckin message me and maybe we can be get to know each other. If not, oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. I'm not super picky, but I do like receiving a message with some thought put into it. So if you don't hear back from me, maybe the message wasn't exciting? Not trying to be a dickwad, that's just how I roll *shrug*.
