I am very passionate about music and books. I feel naked without my ipod if I am walking down a street (unless I have company!)... and I have a voracious appetite for books.

Friends and family mean the world to me. I am difficult to anger and very loyal. If I let someone into my life, I intend to stick by them through thin and thin. If I'm dating someone, and we have a nasty break up... I'd still like to be friends when the smoke clears.
Trust and honesty mean the world to me. I can't stress this enough.

I have two kitties, whom I adore. Could be called a "crazy cat lady", but I haven't adopted nine of them or tried washing them on a washboard, so you could consider me sane.

Some might consider me a little bit of a hippie... um... if the shoe fits. I'm a vegetarian and a pacifist, also into some alternative medicine.

I'm a night owl, and I really embrace all that that means. Sometime I get random urges to make pie at midnight. Also, it just sort of seems that EVERYTHING is a little more fun to do at nighttime. Even routine stuff like doing the laundry. That said, I also have a life in the daytime and don't sleep all the time.

I am laid-back, quirky, and a bookworm

When I graduated high school, I joined the work force because I was not yet ready to get serious about college. I learned a lot about myself from working a variety of jobs - a sex toy store, a barista, a legal assistant, a piercing apprentice, and a nurse's assistant at Planned Parenthood... to name a few.

Right now, I am working as a marketing assistant at an accounting firm. It is not where I plan to stay permanently, but it pays the bills and I can't complain about that.

Listening to people, baking, kissing, making the first move. Contorting myself into difficult yoga positions.

Depends on where they meet me, whether it's online or in person. In person, I guess most people usually notice my lips.

If it's online, I guess they notice that I am pretty easy to strike up a conversation with.

Food... well... I am a bit of a gourmet and I like to cook. I'm a vegetarian and some may call me a health nut. However, I'm not one of those "morally superior" vegetarians who feels the need to criticize other people's choices. I mainly make sandwiches and salads... or meals out of fruits, veggies, and flavorful cheese.

I love to bake, and I'm especially good at pies and brownies! And I rarely try to make my baked goods healthy. Healthy food and dessert should usually be kept separately, in my opinion.

-my cats, who are the ideal roommates (though I do also appreciate my human roommates)

-my Ipod and Bose noise-canceling headphones must be a match made in heaven

-a good book

-lip gloss

-my cell phone, I hate to say it but it's true, especially because I don't have a land line

Wouldn't YOU like to know?

Relaxing alone at home after a long week. Over at a friend's house. Wandering around on South Street, buying myself a frozen yogurt or an iced chai tea and people-watching. Spending time with a friend visiting from out of town. Staying in with my roommates, and entertained by them because they're drunk.

Oh god, this is kind of embarrassing, but... I have read a little bit of Harry Potter fan fiction.

-You would like to go hear stand-up comedy on a Saturday night

-You are female and love women, or

-You are interested in making friends

-You would be comfortable with actually meeting up and going on a date, or meeting for coffee, after we exchange a couple of messages. I feel like I spend so much time messaging girls back and forth and it never goes anywhere. Let's hang out, for real!
