hi! i am ready for okcupid to work it's magic. aaaaaaaannnnnddddddd go!

my roommate stepster said he would write my profile for me, but he's been dragging his feet. so, here i am.

really, i'm just me. i like coffee in the morning, diet coke at all other times, music, cameras, and books among lots of other things.

**note, diet coke is no longer my drink of choice, because it hurts me. which makes me sad to no end, so i shall stick to iced tea or seltzer with lime.

working my tail off at work. (i'm a BSA)

making music in my home studio. (lableton, midi controller) i'm taking a class right now on producing music with ableton, so hopefully i'll be able to do a lot more than i have been.

editing photos.

baking. (pies, mostly)

dancing. (badly)

laughing, and not taking life too seriously when it isn't demanded.

making people laugh. cooking/baking. driving. being the "therapist" friend. procrastinating, and then coming up with the best solution at the last minute.

um... me?
probably my eyes or some cool t-shirt i'm wearing.

books: house of leaves, the kite runner, eat, pray, love anything augusten burroghs, harry potter. my to read list on goodreads is very long.

movies: a league of their own, amadeus, stick it, shawshank redemption, the blood and ice cream trilogy (shawn of the dead, hot fuzz and the upcoming "Paul") kevin smith flicks, any movie with baseball. ed norton movies, and the usual chick flicks.

music: too much. i own over 1000 cds, have over 100gigs of music on my hard drive, etc. check out my last.fm page with the same user name for me and music.
an example of what's on my work iTunes:
the national, kathleen edwards, tori amos, the presets, the faint, bon iver, sarah harmer, patty griffin, a-trak, aaron lacrate, the thermals, the hold steady, chromeo, vhs or beta, NERD, ac slater, bran van 3000, crookers, tokyo police club, the wombats, the kooks, armand van helden, the weepies, herve, holy f*ck, diplo, the bpa, cut copy, block party, r.e.m, madvillan, weezer, fake blood, wale, kings of leon, MIA, santogold, the who, robyn, the flaming lips, kid sister, heartache, MGMT

caffeine
iced tea
gum
music
a laptop
a brain -- that would suck.

*i would put friends and family here, but they are not "things" they are people! and no, friends and family, i can not do without you. ever.

music -- how to make it, how to make it better, listening to lyrics in my head.

work -- 50 hrs a week.

when i will have sushi next

my next vacation. hopefully vegas.

running -- i'm trying to get better at it, or forcing myself to like running...

thinking. i spend a lot of time just thinking about my life, how to make it better, how to be more grateful, how to be more loving. it sounds really corny, but you only get one shot, and i do as well as my grandmother with mine.

out seeing music or hanging out with friends. sometimes, i do a friday night with tivo, and take out.

the internets know way too much about me already. i tweet, i blog, i facebook, i last.fm, i flickr... etc. i may be a bit of a tech-fangirl.

- first and foremost, please be real. that may have many definitions, but i'm not into fronts or people pretending to be something they aren't. i want to see you, not "you."

- you want to go on a date.

- you like my profile

- you want to teach me how to play ultimate

- you want to be my friend.
