I am funny, smart, and unusual.
My Self-Summary
I am an independent, unique, exceptional woman. Not typical in many
ways, I hate shopping, can't stand wearing high heeled shoes and
makeup, will laugh at just about anything, and can't dance to save
my life. I have a lot of interesting friends, a fantastic family,
and the coolest dog in the universe!! (a black lab). I really don't
need anything or anyone to complete my life...but it would be nice
to have a partner to share my time with.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm an adjunct professor, among other things, and I do a bit of
stand up comedy. Lately, my hobbies have included grading papers,
DIY projects on my house, and cleaning up the things my Lab has
destroyed. I've been learning guitar for over a decade, and I still
suck at it. But hey, no one can say I'm not committed. I just
recorded back up vocals on a friend's album, and I plan to write
another book at some point.
I’m really good at
I can sing alright, I've been told I'm hilarious, I make an amazing
key lime pie, and my friends say I am infectious like a cult
leader...but I think the best thing I'm good at was described by my
neighbor as an ability to bring people together, to set a great
vibe, and to make everywhere I've been seem like the "place to be."
Is that a thing?
The first things people usually notice about me
My laugh! It's fairly identifiable and totally infectious, and I'm
always doing it! Strangers tell me I have a great smile, and some
weird old guy from Germany once told me that he thought I was an
angel. :) Go me!
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Movies (in order of my faves): The Shawshank Redemption, The
Crossing Guard, The Fisher King, Love Actually, and Sabrina. Music
(in no order): Band of Horses, Iron and Wine, Phoenix, U2, REM,
Damien Rice, Joshua Radin, etc. Books (again, in or order): The Tao
of Pooh, Imagica, The World According to Garp, Silent Spring, Cold
Mountain, etc. Food: OMG, it's all delicious. My family is cajun,
my brother owns an Italian restaurant, and I live in the middle of
Mexican food heaven, so...I'm an avid food lover.
The six things I could never do without
MY DOG. My friends. My car (bad for the environment, I know...but I
am a freedom junkie and when I gotta go, I gotta go). Peace. Food.
Love.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I crack myself up, so I spend a lot of time thinking about funny
things. The rest of the time, I am either daydreaming about the
perfect romance (I can't lie) or about things that ultimately
depress me, such as the objectification of women, proliferation of
war, destruction of the environment, how to fix the problems of
people I meet, and generally trying to come up with realistic
solutions to local and global issues (most of which is totally
moot). Then I come up with something else to laugh about.
On a typical Friday night I am
I used to spend a lot of time with my friends in bars, singing
karaoke, getting into trouble and the sort. Now, most of my friends
are coupled off and so I usually host game night at my house, we
eat, drink, and kick each other's asses at Catchphrase or
Pictionary, and still have enough energy on Saturday to do yardwork
and other lame but necessary chores. Lame, but comfortable, I know.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I don't have a lot of secrets.
