**I have noticed a pattern in comparing my profiles to just about anyone on this site that I'm more into drugs and more violent. I don't get this. I also don't understand why I have the "more greedy" emblem at the bottom. I mean...if you dare steal from me I will cut you (especially if you steal my money or drugs)...but isn't that everyone?

I'm not quite sure why I'm supposed to highlight interests other than to make them fancy colors and to humor myself, speaking of which, humoring myself happens to be one of my primary activities - I often multi-task by humoring myself while doing all those other things I have to do such as graduate school and my part-time job. However, I much prefer to humor others by making smart-ass comments at inopportune times and mocking or impersonating mutual acquaintances.

Reading that over it totally makes me out to be either way funnier/cooler than I actually am or an asshole. I'll let you be the judge.

Truth time:
I'm overwhelmed by school which means I'm usually avoiding it until the next deadline rears its ugly head.
I hate to clean so my apartment is always a mess.
I'm constantly trying to find social activities that don't require bars or just sitting around and drinking, which usually means I'm dragging my friends to the art museum or movies (I'm open to suggestions!!).
I'm a morning person so I'm usually tired when everyone else is ready for a night on the town and when I'm stoked to start my day everyone else is still asleep.
I like to exercise and I keep working my way up to running a 5k and then losing momentum - sadly it's hard to keep the routine without some sort of workout partner.
I'm the person my friends usually call when they're upset and need someone who is going to either listen, give good advice, or crack enough stupid jokes to make them feel better.
I love to dance and would really like to find a partner to get back into ballroom.
I'm originally from Florida, and while I'm learning to like Wisconsin more and more, I miss my family and old friends a lot - especially on those days when I just need a hug.

I'm starting my 4th year in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at UWM. I'm finally at the point where I actually get to work with clients and help them with their lives, which is awesome.

I also work part time as a landscaper to make some extra money. One day a million years from now when I'm done with school and officially a grown-up with my own house (or a condo with a big balcony) I'm totally going to have the best lawn/garden ever!

Avoiding. Especially avoiding answering questions that I don't want to answer. ;)

It depends - probably the top five are: smile, eyes, boobs, confidence, height.

**Of course, these may vary in order (and some might well be repeated) depending on the gender of the person noticing me and how low the neckline is on my shirt...and I'm pretty sure this is the same for every girl on the planet despite how much I'd like to think I'm special.

Books: Stuff about radical behaviorism and/or psychology (reading a lot of treatment manuals lately), books on gardening or cooking, and, though I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, I've started to enjoy reading "chick lit" lately. What can I say? It's nice to read some smutty trashy girly crap once in a while. ;)

Movies (to name but a few): The Watchmen, The Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, Iron Man, Batman Begins, Steel Magnolias, Rear Window, History of the World Part I, Fletch, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shoot 'Em Up, Caddyshack, The Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton, NOT Eric Bana), Hot Fuzz, Monty Python anything, and I'm completely addicted to netflix so the list is expanding on a regular basis.

Music: I'm not hip. I listen to a lot of old music and occasionally popular current stuff if it has a good beat to run to with a dash of foreign/ethnic stuff for dancing. If you're really into music I would probably annoy you - I just listen to what I like and I like what I listen to.

Growing up, my parents and I would listen to the oldies station and sing along, loudly and poorly, in the car and the habit is still with me even when I drive by myself. Yeah, that girl that looked ridiculous singing in the car next to you on I-94 yesterday...that was me.

TV shows (because it should be an option, dammit!): The Mentalist, House MD, So You Think You Can Dance, Mental, The L Word, and Dollhouse. I get most of them online, though, so don't let this list lead you to believe I'm chained to the TV on a regular basis.

Food: my favorite food is Free (let's face it, I'm still a student). My second favorite is anything I haven't eaten before - the weirder the better. I am a very adventurous eater and love eating food from different cultures.

Sunshine
Friends and Family
Coffee
Gardening (even if it's just houseplants)
Cooking
My cat - he kills varmints so I don't have to

School.
What I'll do when I grow up.
What I'll do if I don't ever grow up.
What's the minimum amount of cleaning I have to do for my apartment to be acceptable for company.
How am I ever going to pay back my student loan debt.
...to hell with all of it, I just wanna' dance.

...not doing anything typical. Sometimes I'm out at a bar, sometimes just playing rock band at a friend's house, sometimes I'm too exhausted from working and hit the sack early, sometimes I'm at a movie, sometimes I'm still at school finishing up before a deadline, sometimes I'm just watching TV on my couch with my cat curled up in my lap. Typically I'm a creature of habit, but it appears that has not spread to my Friday nights.

I'm a bit of a comic book nerd. If I had the money, I would have an ever expanding collection of Red Sonja and Wonder Woman comics, as well as anything by Alan Moore. However, I don't have the money, so I'm more of a comic-book-nerd poser, which is just a little bit sad.

...you're bored.
...you, too, are avoiding things right now.
...you think I'm cute.
...you think I'm funny.
...you think I'm cute AND funny. (score!)
...you read something about me that you find interesting.
...you read something that you find incredibly offensive and are compelled to tell me how offended you are (but if you're not nice don't expect a response).
...you lost a bet and you have to.
...you won a bet and you get to!
...you're having trouble with your lawn and need landscaping advice.
...you enjoy eating good home-cooked southern food (my specialty).
...you like to ballroom dance and need a partner.
...you want to, for any reason.
