I have two eyes, a nose and a mouth which gives me a great
advantage in eating contests. I get really excited about learning
new things - like, did you know that once, a 13 year old Indian boy
peed winged beetles?... I find that really exciting.
I get fired up about performing or talking to a crowd, but I'm shy
sometimes in small groups and am terrible at small talk ("Did you
hear what that woman just said?! That was terribly inappropriate,
let's not be friends with her.")
I like
challenges - not like a ropes course
or anything... more like "I wonder why I sometimes act like my
mother and how can I change that so that I'm not constantly in
danger of being punched in the neck?"
I always wanted to be a
comedy actor... well, actually at age
three, I wanted to be a camel...
I've always been someone who has two or three really good friends
and have historically been pretty closed off about meeting new
people. I'm trying to change that and am currently accepting
applications.
I am a clinical social worker and I also own my own consulting
business.
I'm very rarely on fire.

To What I Listen: If we ever meet, I'll let you look at my iPod.
I'm that kind of girl.
Reading,
listening to
music, playing
XBox, hanging out with friends, watching
movies, writing my
blog, playing with my
daughter, watching tv about criminals and dead people, talking
about poop and sex, telling the same funny stories over and over...
it's ok though, because they really are funny.
I have fallopian tubes.
I don't want to meet any freaks who might stalk me, scare me or
make me feel bad about myself. Oh, and no nazis.
