First things first, my name is Sophia, I'm 22, and I live in El Paso, Texas. I like to think that I am a pretty rad person, but that is up for you to decide. I am on a one-woman mission to bring the word "rad" back. I own too many cardigans and read too many blogs. I'm a [music, anime, sci-fi, theatre, literary, historical, political] nerd, but I don't let it define me. I don't trust people who don't have a favorite president or who own anything with Betty Boop on it. I value being genuinely nice over a lot of things. I love boys who dress well and girls with freckles!

I am bad at replying to e-mails (not just on here, but in general), for which I apologize. To be fair, I get a lot of shitty emails! I can't guarantee you a reply, but indicating that you've actually read my profile and engaging me in conversation is a good start. "lol ur hot, wassup?" is not.

I'm back in school, bitches! I took a semester off for personal reasons, but it made me realize how badly I do not want to work retail for the rest of my life, so I'm giving school another go. My goal for the near future (as in, like, this year) is finish my Bachelor's (English Lit, holla!), get out of El Paso, and go to grad school. Something like that, at least.

Baking. Making collages. Making mix cds. Cursing. Getting good grades on papers that are 99% bullshit.

That I straight up do not give a damn.
(Yes I do.)

Books are my favorite things ever. Recently I have been reading a lot of Michael Chabon. My favorite English department approved book is A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. I love The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger because I am predictable. I love Harry Potter, Douglas Adams, and Neil Gaiman because I am a nerd. I also read a lot of non-fiction and short stories. I enjoy a good poem every now and again.

I am not a big movie person. My favorites from 2009 so far are Doubt, Up, Star Trek, Away We Go, and (500) Days Of Summer. Mean Girls and Romy + Michelle's High School Reunion are two of my favorites, which I realize gives me no street cred. To make up for it, I also enjoyed Kill Bill, Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation and Secretary. X-men and Harry Potter round out the list.

Music is my second favorite, after books. The Smiths and Morrissey are (collectively) my number one love. After that comes Rilo Kiley, then Fall Out Boy. I am really obsessive about music, and will listen to the same song over and over and over again. The most played song on my itunes is I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me by Annie, but on my last.fm (dandywolves, check it out) it's Age of Consent by New Order. I also love Neko Case, Regina Spektor, Lady Gaga, Bright Eyes, Ryan Adams, Panic at the Disco, and The Pipettes. I am an enormous musical theatre nerd.

I love to eat sandwiches of all sorts, cheeses of all sorts (even though I am lactose-intolerant, ALAS), cereal, and cupcakes. My favorite non-alcoholic drink is Coke, and my favorite alcoholic drink is anything that tastes good and gets the job done.

Most people would say I watch too much tv. Currently, my viewing habits include The Office, 30 Rock, Community, The Soup, Heroes, Gossip Girl, Glee, Degrassi, and Parks & Recreation. Other perennial classic include Arrested Development, Futurama, American Idol, True Blood, Veronica Mars, and Firefly.

Feminism, Coca-Cola, books, airplanes (although if something was invented that was more convenient OR less awful, I would gladly drop them), a soft blanket, and a good pillow.

What I would do if I was at school and there was a nuclear attack.

Also Bobby Fischer.

At home watching tv or working, usually. I'm kind of a homebody, and I'd much rather hang out with friends in a low key enviroment than go to a club or a party or whatever. If I do go out, usually it's something like hanging out at someone's house and drinking, watching a movie, sitting in Village Inn until 2AM, etc.

I have an un-ironic love for Ryan Seacrest.

You are a cute boy who wants to have ridiculous adventures with me.

Also, if you look like Ryan Adams (or you are Ryan Adams because obviously he uses internet dating sites), fuckin' hit me up. We can work something out.

You probably should not message me if you are a creeper, because I get enough of that shit as it is.
