I don't really remember why I deleted my old account months ago. Now all those quizzes I took don't count! Dammat!

So. I live downtown. My friends are my life. Summer makes me the happiest. Read on!

I...don't work. I was laid off about a month and a half ago. Sucks hard, but I'm enjoying my "mandatory summer break" and really taking time to find a job that will make me happy with life. My goal was to get out of KC in the next year and a half but since life threw me this little bump (humongous crater of a "bump") that might be pushed back a bit.

For now my daily schedule is basically: Wake up, job search for a few hours, kill myself at the gym, lunch, job search some more, go to the pool. It could be worse.

Cooking. I'm a vegetarian and I love it but I don't expect everyone else to love it. I live in KC for god's sake. But I am pretty bad ass at what I make so don't knock it til you try it.

Keeping in touch with long distance friends. I made my absolute best friends in college and the majority of them don't live close to me. I love traveling to see them. Lack of funds is making this harder more recently, but I manage to see them no matter what.

Being loud. I promise me if you know me, you know this.

Again, loud. Whoops. I do not apologize!

The loud thing only comes out around my real friends, usually I'm kind of shy when I first meet someone...and this can come off as rude. I promise I'm NOT. Get to know me and you'll be laughing...or wanting me to STFU. Or at least tone it down to an indoor voice.

Oh and I guess I'm pretty tall for a girl. 5'10". So you might notice that. Extra if I'm wearing 3" heels.

Books: I was an English major so this could go on for a while. Currently reading "The Unfolding of Language" and "Naked Lunch." Copied from Facebook: The Poisonwood Bible, The Belljar, Lolita, Me Talk Pretty Someday, Naked, Maggie Cassidy, Fahrenheit 451, Invisible Man. Just tonight I watched a Netflixed documentary on Jack Kerouac. Nerd alert.

Movies: Forrest Gump, Romeo + Juliet, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Little Miss Sunshine, Tommy Boy, Paris je t'Aime and again...weirdo Netflix documentaries.

Music: ahgad. 311 (seen then 9 times), Weezer, Mae, Ben Folds (+/- Five), Dispatch, Blackalicious, Ben Harper (absolute religious experience seeing him in a big thunderstorm at Starlight Theatre), Ultimate Fakebook, Billy Joel, Glassjaw, Get Up Kids, Miike Snow, Mos Def, AesopROCK, Atmosphere, Deltron3030, Lady GaGa, Coheed and Cambria, Head Automatica, J5, Sea of Is, Incubus, Muse

Food: Anything herbavoredly delightful. I've never met a vegetable I don't like.

Friends, sunshine, my BlackBerry, yoga, traveling to see said friends, great music

When the F my life is going to get back to normal (re: when the F I'm going to be employed again). What I'm going to make for dinner tonight. When I should go to the gym that day. Is it sunny out? Can I make time to lay out at the pool? What new restaurant I should try this weekend. What grand adventure I'm scheming up next.

Having fabulous dinner and drinks and causing chaos with friends.

I can't really imagine anything (respectable, I'm a goddamn LADY, ya jerks!) I'd be afraid to talk about

You're not a creep. You're not awkward. You like Mr. Barry Obama, just like me. You think I seem awesome. (I mean, I am.) You're looking for someone to be silly with. You don't understand why anyone in their right mind would be married before the age of ...say, 28. Those types of things.
