I am sleepy, listening to records, and sighing with my eyes.

My Self-Summary

"in the parlor with a moon across her face"

i am completely enamored with words: readings, writings, poem-makings, scrabble-rousings, word puzzles.

computer nerd by trade. former record store employee. vinyl collector. i start knitting a lot of things i don't finish. show-goer when the mood strikes. wearer of heart on sleeve. mixtape maker. sometimes hermit. post-baccalaureate college student. asleep in the trees.

i am happiest in a hoodie and jeans and ratty shoes. ah, comfort.

i am intrigued by wicked senses of humor. i have yet to hear any sort of carnivaleqsue music that hasn't made my ears perk up.

if you want to laugh or talk about music (please see my interests as i am quite picky about this sort of thing), i am happy to make conversation. seriously, though, read my interests first.

i am most likely doing homework right now.

What I’m doing with my life

full-time college student. full-time worker bee. i somewhat recently re-entered a career i was in for nearly 7 years after a bit of a hiatus. looking forward to getting out more to see shows and hang about with friends. i watch movies, listen to much music, daydream, and think in french quite a bit. adjusting to a new sleep schedule. turning the ringer off on my phone a lot as of late. trying to stay motivated and focused.

i quit smoking on 11/16/2009. i can kinda breathe again already.

I’m really good at

saying the alphabet backwards in about 2 seconds? poetry?

food: indian, thai, vietnamese, chinese, greasy diner food... no seafood. although, someday i am probably going to try seafood again and like it. although, i doubt it. but it's a nice thought. and it's the thought that counts.

The six things I could never do without

* those decent (and some oftentimes indecent) people that i call my friends and family
* those veggie soft rolls from little saigon
* seeing that one really red tree in autumn
* sleeping warm indoors
* green tea

I spend a lot of time thinking about

i spend too much time plotting my eventual escape, when i should just be content with how things are right now... how it is probably going to be a very long winter... when i will find certain records cheap in the used bins that are long out of print so i don't have to be tempted by getting them through ebay... procrastinating my writing away and shelving ideas.. and i especially spend too much time thinking about thinking about things.

lately i have just had a craving to sit around with people i dig and listen to records for an entire afternoon and talk about music. it's been awhile, and my friends are scattered all over ohio and everywhere else.

On a typical Friday night I am

atypical

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

p.s.

i am not a fan of having my head or heart jerked around. so there will be none of that. there is no such thing as instant love in my opinion, so if you wanna woo me, take the time to actually get to know me rather than send me messages about how HOT U R or how you think we are soulmates. gah. i don't really care if this makes me sound like some sort of jerk. i have lived and learned!

You should message me if

you aren't some kinda douchebag
