Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Okay. I lied about the flying thing. Though I do wrack up frequent flyer points on sub-par airlines pretty well.

I laugh a lot, usually at myself.
I read too much.
For the most part I can keep things in perspective but I have moments of being a bit tortured.
I just got back from six months volunteering in Nicaragua. Like just just.
I have a lot of tattoos. A lot. That said, I am a plain girl. I have a large nose. I look like a librarian a lot of the time.
People who can't laugh at themselves annoy the shit out of me, as do people who spend too much time trying to be cool.
I have a well developed sense of the absurd and am a little too fond of irony and sarcasm.
I can't swim but I body board and live for the ocean.
There's a thin line between stupidity and bravery and I stumble back and forth across with it amazing regularity.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm going to have a contest - what I should do with my life! Anyone who can come up with something that sounds even vaguely reasonable will win a great prize. Like a fork or something.

No honestly - what I'm doing with my life? Trying to be happy and fulfill my curiousity about the world around me. Everything else is just gravy.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Gargling 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' with a mouth full of diet coke. Reading quickly. Travelling - I don't get uptight about everything. Swearing and using big words at the same time. Oversleeping. Writing, though you wouldn't know it from this profile. Taking off on ill-thought out but incredibly compelling adventures. Being a loyal friend.

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

My sarcasm. Love it or hate it. Or my tattoos. Or the fact that I run away to join the circus a lot.

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

Books: non-fiction. Anything non-fiction that's decently written. I read too much and can't really call a favorite - lately I've been on a tear about reading about the Khmer Rouge. My favorite book of all time is Catcher in the Rye but that's practically a damn bible to me. Everything just kills me.

Movies: Oh god, I don't know. I don't watch a lot of them. Indie and art house. Documentaries.

Music: Old school punk and hard core. Some jangy, alt-country college radio stuff. Some alt-pop shit I'll only cop to once I know you. Reggaeton, but that's a by-product of living in Central America for a long time.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

1)Dogs
2)Books
3)Diet Coke, coffee and cigarettes - goddamn you corporate america, goddamn you.
4)My overdeveloped sense of irony
5)Spellcheck
6)my friends

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

At this moment: finding a job. Otherwise my deep regret over not being born Canadian, why sharks fall asleep when you flip them over, Middle East politics and how Clif Bars are the perfect food. They're like kibble for people.

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

I am just as screwed up as the rest of you silly bastards here.

You read something fantastic.
You have a great story to tell me.
You're really tall and kind of boney. I have a thing for that.
You've been interesting places.
