I love music, I used to go to alot of local shows around town at the White Rabbit, Sam's Burger Joint, and Rock Bottom. I miss going to shows, and really want to start going to them, as time and money allow. My friends are recently like to go to The Bonham Exchange, The Saint and The Pegasus. Most of my friends don't dance, but, I love to dance, so give me a drink, and I will be on that dance floor in no time. LOL I love to watch movies, both indie and mainstream, either at home, or at the theatre. I must forewarn You...I watch credits! My friends laugh at me when we go to the movies...I seriously stay and watch the movie until the credits are totally through. My sister and I do this at home too, but, mostly to laugh at the funny names people have sometimes. Sure, it's a little immature, and insensitive, but...it's our own private fun. I also love to quote movie lines, it's mostly an inside thing between my sister and I... most people don't even know what we are talking about. I love to spend time downtown watching tourists, or at the mall, or on the riverwalk. I also love to spend the day at museums, art exhibits, or places like the zoo. I am on myspace.... not as much as I used to be, but still, check it out. myspace.com/iamvalerie

I made the decision to go back to school, and enrolled at SAC for the fall semester, pursuing my degree as a Registered Nurse.... I got really tired of being a slacker. I work at Dollar Tree, I have been there for quite a while. I went to school to be a medical assistant, and did that for about 6 months, but things didn't go as planned, and I never went to interview for another medical assistant job anywhere else. For a while there, I was seriously considering going to the Aveda Institute for Cosmetology.

Mostly, I just go to work, hang out with friends, dance, shoot pool down the street from where I live, and watch tv or movies at home. The decision for school will come soon enough.

Crafts, digital art (when I am in the mood), and laughing. I like to sew, when I have the resources. I used to be very involved in medieval roleplay online, so, I would create these really awesome avatars, pictures that were made up of four or five layers, for my characters. Alas, my old computer died, and so, now I have to start from the beginning again, and collect pictures to use. When I spend time with my friends, I love to laugh...love to come up with crazy things to say or do...quote movie lines with my sister...because, generally, we are the only ones who get them!

My smile....or the fact that my voice, totally doesn't match me. I swear, if I talk to You on the phone, I sound like a little girl...it's funny, cute, and annoying, all at once.

My favorite books are based on medieval themes, or fantasy. I also like vampire novels, and Shakespeare. My favorite all-time read is The Canterbury Tales, a friend of mine got me into the Harry Potter series. I also enjoy reading about different cultures, or religions.

Some of my favorite movies include The Dark Knight, A life less Ordinary, Moulin Rouge, Chasing Amy or anything really by Kevin Smith, Serendipity, Crash, Shopgirl, An Affair to Remember. Most any kind of movie interests me, the classics captivate me. I also love to watch the popular John Hughes films, or anything offbeat or less well-known from the 80's.

My favorite music by far is Psychobilly....I absolutely love Tiger Army. My other favorite band is the Beastie Boys. (it's quite a range, I know) I also enjoy punk, pop punk, 80's, new wave, alternative, classic country, rockabilly, reggae, some R&B...things with a good beat.

Some of my favorite foods are chinese, italian and mexican. I am a little scared to try new things at times....but, I will. I like to cook when I have the chance. I am really good with bringing recipes to life, and I make a really good baklava.

My family, friends, Music, MAC makeup, my cell phone, and my debit card.

Ideas for crafts, or things that I can do, or try out with my friends when I go out. I think about ways to improve on my current situation, how to go back to school. I think about how long it will take me to travel to the three places that I absolutely need to visit in my lifetime...New York City, London (and it's surrounding territories), and Tokyo.

Usually at home, watching a movie, or spending time with friends shooting pool or at the Bonham. I typically go out on Saturdays!

...yet to be revealed. I am an open book....my emotions come easily, and I wear my heart on my sleeve....there is not much that I could reveal, that isn't already known.

You think we can be friends, and hang out, or if you think we are a good match....if You like to have fun, if You love music (especially the kinds of music that I like) ....and definately if You are close to Your friends and family. I want someone who can respect that dynamic.
