I'll write something insightful and amazing here.

Wait, let me add some more words because apparently that first part wasn't good enough for okcupid.

I'm mildly ticked because Okcupid branded my intial adjectives as too common. Then I had to get my thesaurus and do a little substitution. It makes me sounds kind of pretentious, but at least it's still accurate.

My username is simply an Indigo Girls reference, although it doesn't mean anything in particular to me. It is from one of my favorite songs, but mostly I just think it's a pretty phrase.

God only knows.

What I'm trying to do with my life: Explore the world (traveling is always featured on my to do list), find new friends who will put up with me, go back to school, buy a house at some point. Really though, I'm just trying to be happy I guess, but that's kind of vague. I think when it comes down to it, I just want my family & fun people to be around, and an interesting job.

If I could figure this out, I'd be set. I know a lot of things I'm pretty good at, even more things I'm Ok at, but I haven't figured out the "really good at" part yet.

I'm quiet. I really wish people would stop telling me that actually, like I haven't figured it out by the time I'm 24. I'm not always quiet, but I'm a bit shy around new people and I don't feel the need to be constantly talking when I'm with someone (comfortable silences are a good thing).

Lately, it seems like I can't go without thinking "...Bowie" if I hear or see the phrase, "That's pretty freaky." Sometimes it makes me giggle.

I do love TV on DVD, although I could obviously survive without it. But would that really be a life worth living???

Self diagnosis of both physical and mental ailments.

What I should or should not be doing with life.

Planning trips, or just imaging myself in another city or country.

What TV show I should be obsessed with next.

Depends on who I am with, really. I have friends that I watch lot of movies and TV with, and with them I tend to do things I would describe as nerdy. As I am without a significant other or roommate, I tend to spend a significant amount of time alone though, and I'm totally fine with that for the most part. I get lonely at certain times and I wouldn't mind having someone around more often, but I'm fine with amusing myself through reading, listening to music, writing, watching movies, and sitting around staring at the wall.

But then sometimes I really like to go out, especially if I'm in the company of a more extroverted person. As long as I am around people that keep me energized, I'm agreeable with going out to bars or clubs and doing the whole dancing/drinking/being silly thing.

I wish I could say I have no sense of shame, but I really reallllly do, so whatever I admit in this space wouldn't really be a private thing.

Please don't bother messaging me (Yes, it has come to this):
- You're really into Jesus/God/New Age stuff. Because I'm not. And while I respect your beliefs and wish you much happiness in life, I'm not into any of the above except in an academic sense. Fascinating stuff, but I don't belive in any of it.
- You're looking for a relationship and already have a kid. Or you are already in a relationship. I also don't want a threeway with you and your ugly husband.
- You are really into sports and drinking, and nothing else. You can be into either one of those things, but if your profile just says, "I'm a really easy going person that likes to watch baseball and go out." Well... you and 10,000 other people, buddy. What's special?

Otherwise, feel free to message me.
