I am facetious, quirky, and redoubtable.
My Self-Summary
I moved to Lexington for library school earlier this year and am
still in the process of discovering the nuances of the city.
I appreciate good music and love to read, trying new foods,
visiting museums (especially art museums),
swimming, window shopping,
people-watching, used bookstores, thrifting, improv comedy, and
stargazing.
I also consider myself to be a pretty honest and loyal person in
that I mean what I say, and say what I mean. I try to help people
with their problems whenever possible, but find it difficult to
sympathize with those who are confused about why something is still
getting them down when they have done nothing to improve the
situation. Life is too short.
What I’m doing with my life
Keeping up with library school, working, teaching myself how to
knit, and biting off more than I can chew; but mostly I am enjoying
it, and you should, too.
I’m really good at
Making lists.
Constructing delicious salads and sandwiches.
Being a Jill of many trades but master of none. Specialization is
for the insects.
Laughing at inappropriate times. Also, distractions.
The first things people usually notice about me
Depends on the person and depends on what they happen to notice, I
suppose.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Usually whatever I'm reading at the moment. I seem to
acquire books faster than I can read them but I am constantly
reading. Some of my all-time favorites include
Alice in Wonderland,
Lolita,
1984,
Fahrenheit 451,
Franny and Zooey,
Nine Stories,
Pride and
Prejudice,
Death of a Salesman, books
by
Milan
Kundera, especially
The Unbearable
Lightness of Being; and all books by
Charles Bukowski.
Movies:
Royal
Tenenbaums,
Amelie,
The Graduate,
Life is Beautiful,
Easy Rider,
Band of
Outsiders,
Breathless. I don't watch movies very
often.
Music: I enjoy
the
Beatles (forever and always),
the Pixies,
Simon and Garfunkel,
the Smiths,
My
Bloody Valentine,
Nick Drake,
Tim Buckley,
Jeff Buckley,
the Zombies,
David Bowie, pretty much
anything from the 60s, and all sorts of other stuff. I've been
listening to lots of
Johnny Cash,
Tom Waits,
Townes Van Zandt, and
Stereolab lately.
Food: Sushi, Indian, Mexican, pad thai, Greek yogurt, Kalamata
olives, Triscuits, and dark chocolate are my favorites, but I'll
try just about anything. I'm a lapsed vegetarian but still eat like
one most days.
The six things I could never do without
Water
Knowledge, preferably in the form of books
Music
Humanity
A down pillow and blanket
A flux capacitor
I spend a lot of time thinking about
whatever I'm working on for school, traveling, what city I'll live
in when I grow up, history,
Caligula,
Icarus' wax wings, art, seahorses, men
with beards, pinball machines, water.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm completely hopeless when it comes to math. The "more
mathematically inclined" award is a sham.
[Edit: OkC must have caught onto this, 'cause the award is gone
now. Oh wells].
You should message me if
you know who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop.
