I love going out (or staying in) and hanging with friends, especially if they are willing to make drinks for me. :)

A couple of my biggest pet-peaves are hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness. ie: if you have never or you're not willing to try something, don't rag on it. I value honesty and strait-talk. I have a few OCD tendencies, but only when it comes to grammar and pictures hanging slightly askew.

I do not! understand girls, even though I am one. I've been asked many times to explain why a girl did such-and-such, but I have no answers because I don't get it either. I like to say it's because I'm not a girl, I'm a chic. I like getting all gussied up to go out, but I also like watching ffootball and drinking beer.

I am extremely difficult to offend and can count on one hand the number of times I've been truly angry.

I don't know what else to say right now, but I'm sure I'll be able to think of more later.

I work teaching small humans from 9 - 6 every Monday through Friday. A friend is teaching me Tai-Chi, aiki jitsu, various sword forms and other self defense techniques where I've learned that apparently I have a certain fondness for using my elbows. :) I try to keep the plants in my container garden happy and growing.

Unfortunately, I tend to spend most of my time at home prepping for work. So sad.

Giving friends a kick in the rear when they need it and being there for them at any time.
Oh, and keeping small people in line. I'm pretty good at that, too.

I don't know, I've never asked and they've never said.

BOOKS:
The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, The Belisarius series by Eric Flint and David Drake, most anything by Mercedes Lackey (that's the girl in me). A friend just got me hooked on Trigun and Usagi Yojimbo, and I enjoy the poetry of Robert Service. I'd have to go through my 'library' to say more.

MOVIES:
I own every movie made by Hayao Miyazaki (that's the girl again), I enjoy comedies and musicals and some horror. Akira!!! There's always the classics - any Mel Brooks, Army of Darkness, Hot Fuzz, Super Troopers, Clue. Some oldies like Paint Your Wagon (Clint Eastwood sings!) and Little Big Man.

MUSIC:
I enjoy most all music. I can't say there's one I can't stand because there's always an exception. For the most part, I dislike rap and hip-hop, though there are some songs I do like. Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, Amadan, Metallica (early stuff), Rob Zombie, Nickel Creek, Harry Chapin, Alice in Chains, Brand New, Springsteen, Cake, Days of the New, Disturbed, Floater, Brudda Iz, Chili Peppers, Storm and the Balls, They Might Be Giants, Tool, VNV Nation....and yes, I did just scroll through my music on my computer and list a bunch.

FOOD:
I like food and am always willing to try something different. I have yet to discover a cuisine I hate.

My friends - they keep me sane.
A job - I have to pay my loans back somehow
A good book - gotta unwind
My phone - I don't know anybodies numbers, otherwise
(do I have to name 2 more?)
Food, I guess - can't have me wasting away
Health insurance? - I know something bad'll happen the moment I don't have it anymore.

What I need to do to get a real teaching job.

At a friend's playing Munchkin, Chez Guevara or Rock Band.

I don't like caramel or salt water taffy. Hah! There! I said it. Whatcha gonna do about it?

You wanna, seeing as how it's not really up to me. :)
