i take poetic license with life.

i've lived the good life, been the bad boy, and everything in between.

i've lived all over the country and travelled the world- i moved to france by myself when i was 16 - i didn't know the language, but i learned it.

i live life by a code of morals which i've made up for myself

i love hard and long and i don't let go even when i should.

i'm very aware that the consequence of using the word i in this many consecutive sentences may be some sort of physical manifestation of emotional pain

i've worked for the worlds largest non-profit research organization, a think tank that brought you both the hard-candy shell that melts in your mouth but not in your hands and the atom bomb.

i was a lifeguard and taught tennis and horse-back riding to little kids at a summer camp.

i love sitting around bonfires with friends, talking, singing, and playing charades.

the lamer i am, the happier i seem to be.

i wrestled and played football in high-school.

i played tennis and was on the water-ski team in college.

i like to jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

i've had the experience of being both a 4.0 student and failing.

doing laundry has the capacity to be a spiritual experience for me.

i'm a very out-going person who doesn't like most people.

i'm real stoked about the fact that i've been inspired to write again.

i know all the words to both "Ice, Ice, Baby" and "Humpty Dance."

i can sing them acapella.

i'm soooo not above karaoke.

is the glass half-empty or half-full?
who cares? who's been drinking my water?

i'm at home in the gheto, at the country club, on a barstool, tied to a st. andrew's cross, at your church, on a plane, in a limo, waiting for the bus.

i can also be alone in a room of friends.

i like scrabble.

i've been to every state that doesn't start with the letter A.

i'm an ok dancer.

i started skiing when i was four years old.

i've been snowboarding for 16 years

i know how to be a rebel amongst rebels

i love my family - my mom's the smartest person i know, my dad surprises me, and my brother has a heart of gold...

and none of this shit defines me...

i do the breathe in breathe out chop wood carry water laugh love cry wonder blunder thing.

skipping questions and coming back to them later.

or not.

probably that i'm confidently calm.

i'm either playing out conversations in my head, thinking about myself, thinking about how to stop thinking about myself, thinking about sex, or (when things are going well) just wandering around in the great quiet within.

hanging out with friends, watching a movie, working out, or some combination thereof.

.

you are a smart and sexy sensualist seeking the same and are appreciative of alliteration. you don't think outside of the box, because you know there is none. you are an honest, lovely, loving woman who's motivated to live a fun and happy life. you are a calm and kinetic paradox with style.

in a sentence?

you are a unique chick who prides herself on both her scrabble game and her shoes.
