I like to think I'm rather unique, but don't we all? I have strange taste in a lot of things, particularly music, and I love to surprise people. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and prefer to be around people who can tease me back.

I am a music addict. A college graduate. An interior and graphic designer. An extremely liberal, lesbian-leaning bisexual. Not really interested in dating guys at the moment.

I am fiercely independent but when I form attachments, they are strong ones. I will do anything for the ones I love, but if you're not one of those people, I don't give a shit what you think of me. I like to be different and I seek out individuality in others. I love tattoos and piercings. Mainstream society, music, and all that bores me to tears. I want to do more with my life than get married and have 2.5 children. I want to explore things. I need excitement, variety, and change in my life. Sitting around doing nothing makes me antsy. Silence freaks me out. But that's pretty much it...except maybe bugs. I'm not too terribly concerned with my death, heights, or public speaking. I worry more about things not going as planned. Which obviously means I should just stop planning things. But then I end up bored and boredom is pretty much the worst fate there is. Other than being locked in a room with a sexist, racist, homophobic, conservative hick who's blasting country music and talking about his shotgun collection, pickup truck, and how great George Bush is. *shudder*

I've recently moved to St. Pete and I'm loving it so far! I've been saying I want to get out of Wisconsin and move somewhere warm for about 10 years now, and I'm very glad to finally follow through on that! So now I'm doing interior design and graphic design for an architectural firm that mostly deals with nursing and assisted living facilities. Hey, in Florida, that's hardcore job security, right?

Interior and graphic design. Finding and sharing interesting music. Organizing stuff. Clearance-sale shopping. Throwing theme parties. Doing stupid shit, being clumsy, falling down, breaking teeth, you know, the usual. Laughing at myself when I do stupid shit. I'm pretty good at Dance Dance Revolution despite my clumsiness, because I play it a lot.

Probably that I'm pretty short (5'1 apparently) or my outfit because I'm told often that I look very put-together. I mostly wear skirts and pretty tops, I just like pretty clothes :)

(1) Mysteries mostly, lesbian novels, a little bit of supernatural / paranormal stuff.

(2) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Miss Sunshine, Donnie Darko, Garden State, In Good Company, Sweet Home Alabama, The Ring, The Matrix, Chasing Amy, Identity, Cruel Intentions, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, Dark City, Imagine Me & You, But I'm a Cheerleader, Wristcutters: A Love Story...basically cute comedies, scary movies, and psychological movies. I adore anything that fucks with your head or makes you think.

(3) The Dresden Dolls, Garbage, Metric, The Grates, theSTART, HUMANWINE, Victory at Sea, Ladytron, Jakalope, Schoolyard Heroes, Hungry Lucy, Splashdown, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Great Northern, Cloud Cult, Pony Up!, Freezepop, Jaggery, Regina Spektor, Rasputina, Pretty Balanced, Emilie Autumn, The Romanovs, The Vincent Black Shadow, HorrorPops, The Dollyrots, Scarling., Pretty Girls Make Graves, Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton, Imogen Heap, Hooverphonic, Baxter, Halou ... So much more. I'm a music junkie. Mostly obscure stuff, chick rock and electronic/trip hop. I love strange or quirky music, usually with piano and/or strings, and almost always with unique female vocals.

(4) Crab rangoon, pizza, anything cheesy (well, I come from Wisconsin, after all), Italian, most Mexican, some Chinese food. I don't really like red meat, or fish, oh and I hate chocolate. Yeah, I'm weird.

(5) TV shows...I don't watch that much TV anymore, just online since I'm not even getting cable here. But there has to be mention of Veronica Mars, my first, and biggest, TV obsession. I loved that show much more than is healthy and repeatedly converted friends to start watching it. Currently, I watch: Dollhouse, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Chuck, Dexter, True Blood, and Big Love. Other favorites that were also sadly canceled: Battlestar Galactica, The L Word, Alias, Wonderfalls, Buffy/Angel, Firefly, The 4400, and The X-Files.

(1) Music (2) Family (3) Friends (4) Internet (5) Laughter (6) Sunshine

People, relationships, events, music, memories, things I need to get done, pointless stupid shit that doesn't leave my brain because I can never get my head to shut up :)

Technology is interesting. How far we've come in the past hundred years or so. It's kind of crazy how much more quickly we're developing in relatively recent times, compared to less recent history. I'm really excited to see what the world becomes within my lifetime.

Anything from a quiet night in with a movie or playing Rock Band with friends, to getting drunk at a party...and if it's one I'm throwing, it's probably a theme party. Theme parties are way more fun and exciting, I love dressing up.

I also like to go dancing, but I don't get to go often enough. Dancing is such a great stress-reliever. I will go out to normal bars with friends for their birthdays or some special event, but I don't find it that interesting. I'd rather do something where you can actually interact with friends. Basically, I'm up for pretty much anything, especially if it's with fun people!

I really dislike penis, I find it very unattractive. I do get crushes on guys sometimes, and I am capable of enjoying the company of males ... I just don't care all that much for having sex with them.

You're intelligent, interesting, and unique...especially if you like similar music or if we have other things in common.

You live in the Tampa Bay area and want to make new friends!

You'd like someone to go on the roller coasters with at Busch Gardens! I just got an annual pass and I'm excited to use it!

You want someone to play games with - Rock Band, Apples to Apples, really I enjoy most any games.

You want to go out dancing! There's this place called The Castle I've heard of but haven't had a chance to check out yet.

You're not an emotional train wreck. I know that nobody gets through life unscathed, but I'd like to date someone who can deal with past issues and doesn't let them interfere with future relationships. Emotions are a good thing...let them out, deal with them. And don't be afraid when I will undoubtedly be showing my emotions. But there has to be a balance there.

Good grammar is sexy. Excessive internet chat speak is not. It's not that much harder to type out the words, seriously. Also, I normally don't stay logged in too long, so I seem to miss IMs. Why don't you try composing a message instead?
