Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I can be stubborn, sarcastic, and sensitive, but I'm also relatively intelligent, occasionally funny, and I have a big heart. I'm almost always curious, sometimes to the point of being nosy, but I like to think it's because I love learning new things and I care about people. Well, at least that's what I tell myself... I also love to laugh and goof around. I'm a little bit granola, so if you're not into chicks that dig the environment, I'm probably not your gal.

I like lots of dorky things, like history and board or card games (Clue, Monopoly, Euchre) and...I can't think of anything else right now, but I just wanted to warn you ahead of time in case you somehow got the false impression that I'm really hip or something.

I'm here to talk to new people and maybe make a friend or two, but I'm open to more if something comes along.

I really wish OkCupid would allow for a choice of more than just three sexual orientation labels. If you'd like to know what my preference is, just ask.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Well, I've got my degree in art history, but I don't seem to be qualified for very many jobs. I've got a part-time job at the local art museum, but I only get very limited hours, so I'm trying my best to find something more substantial. I'm considering grad school b/c I'm getting weary w/ the job hunt, but there would be a few obstacles to overcome if I decided to go that route.

Other than that, I've been trying to stay active and keep my chin up, but it comes and goes in waves.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I'm capable of being a decent artist and sometimes I'm able to write well. I try my best to be a good person and a good friend, too. Sometimes I'm good w/ trivia, especially questions related to pop culture, so I like watching Jeopardy!

Some less marketable skills that I'm "good" at: procrastinating, indulging my neurotic tendencies, staying up too late for no reason.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I suppose that depends on who you ask. Hopefully when people meet me for the first time they notice that I'm friendly and that I'm not too disheveled.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Books: I haven't been reading, or at least finishing, a lot of books lately. I've mostly been checking out magazines and newspapers, like the Toledo City Paper. David Sedaris is one of my favorite authors, though.

Movies: From Amélie to Zoolander and everything in between. I'm willing to watch almost anything, even if I have a feeling it's not going to be of very high quality. Sometimes I like those "so bad it's good" sort of flicks.

TV: There are a few shows that I like to watch every week, like Project Runway (when it's on) or House. Then there are other shows that can't always seem to catch, like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dexter, my favorite Adult Swim shows, or CBS Sunday Morning (I'm not always up to watch it).

Music: Nearly everything, from The Beatles to Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I even like some country. (Gasp!) Some artists that are usually in heavy rotation on my MP3 player: The Silent Years, M.I.A., Damien Rice. When I'm not listening to music in the car, or even at home, I like to listen to NPR.

Food: I'm not big on most Mediterranean food (Greek, Lebanese), but I do enjoy a few things from that region, like hummus. I'm a big fan of Italian, Mexican, Asian cuisine (or at least what I know of as Asian cuisine), Indian, and even "American." I'm so cultured...

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Loved ones (friends, family, and pets); music (that may be a no-no for someone w/ an art history degree to admit, but it impacts me the most on a daily basis); food and everything that comes with it (cooking, culture, etc.); the Internet; the public library; and laughter.

This is totally cheating, but I have to admit, as materialistic sounds, I would be a little lost w/o my car. It would be difficult to get around this city w/o a car, so I really appreciate the independence it gives me.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Well, I spend a lot of time thinking about all the stuff in the "What I'm doing with my life" section, and then some. My mind is almost always going, so I think about a lot of things; some significant, most not.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to work on Friday nights. (I'm happy to get the hours b/c I need the money. Plus, it's usually a lot of fun.) Some Friday nights, I stay in and watch a movie or TV. Then there are the occasional Friday nights when I hang out with friends and do fun stuff.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I use a tongue scraper, but I have to be careful w/ it b/c my gag reflex is pretty sensitive (insert dirty joke here). I'm allergic to the adhesive used in bandages. I still live with my parents... I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of anything else right now.

My point is that I'm pretty open about most things, including my life. I figure I might as well be honest upfront b/c misrepresenting myself now would only lead to disappointment in the future. Not too much is sacred in my book, although I am shy about certain topics.

You should message me if Propose an edit

...you want to know more about me, especially if you have a good grasp on the English language and know how to apply that to the way you type.
