Hello!

So I need to make a few changes from my last summary! I am twenty four years old, currently living life and loving it. I'm an interesting broad, truthfully - I have incredibly strange, geeky hobbies that can range from a slight obsession with Star Trek, to a renewed fondness for comic and anime conventions as of late. I like going to renaissance festivals, and art shows. I love museums, and learning interesting new information about the most random of things. The History Channel is one of my favorite things in the world. I have a passion for French culture and French things, and I have a love affair with coffee that borderlines on the obscene.

I am an optimist. In regards to pessimism and realism, I feel that attempting to see things in a realistic way will only lead to overthinking, and overanalyzing. If you honestly look at your life and think to yourself it can always get better, it will. I believe in appreciating what you have, the talents you maintain, the friendships and family relationships and lovers you gain in life - it's better to appreciate than to look around and wait for something more, or something better to fall into your lap. I believe that people are inherently good, and I trust people all too easily. :) C'est la vie.

You may have noticed I've changed my sexuality. I've realized over the past five years that while I love women primarily - and god do I love everything about them, their smiles, their eyes, their bodies, every single thing they do - I'm not as gay as I once thought I was. I'm attracted to men, women, and everything in between, truthfully. It may sound cliche, but it's not what's between your legs that's most important - it's honestly, truthfully, who you are and how you present yourself. If you're smart and have a sense of humor, you'll win my heart in a second.

Edit: Changed it back, but not necessarily because my tastes have changed. I just am not looking for a sexual relationship with a guy right now. :)

I used to work at Starbucks, but no longer! I now work a rather boring desk job that's nearly more boring to tell others about than to do. :) It's a lot more money, which means I can be a lot more independent, which is a wonderful thing in the long run. I'm intending upon finishing my associates of arts degree very shortly!

I've also lost sixty pounds over the last five months, and am only going down. I'm excited!

I'm very artistic and creative, if I do say so myself! I love the graphic arts, I love to draw, and I do nearly everything artistic there is to do. I try to dance, but this section's for what I'm good at, right? ;) I make excellent coffee and/or tea, and I consider myself to be a very good listener.

I'm colorful. My hair is colorful, my eyes are colorful, my clothes are colorful. I like to be a colorful character.

I'm also rather quiet in person, but if I get comfortable in a situation, I'm incredibly quick to resort to sarcasm and wit. I like to come off stronger than I really am. I love laughing and smiling. Few things make you feel better, right?

Books: Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett, Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Ender's Game, MARS, Shopgirl, basically anything I find remotely entertaining and informative I'll pick up. I like books with random statistics and interesting stories. I also like joke books.

Movies: Right now? STAR TREK. OH GOD STAR TREK(I told you I was a nerd). Across the Universe, Little Miss Sunshine, Moulin Rouge, Armageddon, Casablanca, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, RENT, Gone with the Wind, again -- anything, usually. I don't care much for scary movies, but I'll watch them if I'm forced! Just expect to have me either ducking my head behind you or climbing in your lap to save me from all the scary things. XD

Music: Anything! I'm really looking to expand my horizons here. I'm not much of a metalhead, and I don't care for much rap, but I'll listen to anything once or twice. Some artists I love: The Beatles, Queen, AC/DC, Metallica, Nirvana, The Eagles, Missy Higgins, Sara Bareilles, Harvey Danger, P!nk, Alanis Morrissette, Bon Iver, Augustana, Kelly Clarkson, A Fine Frenzy, Neko Case, Melissa Etheridge, Vienna Teng, Barenaked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls, Muse, Mika, Paramore, Oasis, Ryan Adams, Vanessa Carlton, Ben Lee, The Wallflowers, Matt Wertz, Lisa Hannigan, Lonestar, Coldplay, Live, Leona Lewis, Rob Thomas, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ben Lee, Ben Folds Five, The Album Leaf, Snow Patrol, Maroon 5, One Republic, Jason Mraz, and the Counting Crows. 8D This will be added to, I'm certain.

Food: I love Italian food -- seriously, I adore pasta dishes and anything with lots of cheese. x) I really love salads, too, as long as they're light and don't have a chaotic mess on top of them. x)

Love is all you need.
Okay. Well, that, and you know, food.
And probably my coffee.
And I know I need my laptop...
An internet connection would always be welcomed.
But my love for life and love for people is all I really need. :)

What I am, who I am, and what to do. I also wonder if I'm attractive to anyone, why fools fall in love, if I should lose weight, if I should quit my job or get a new one, why I'm still awake at five o'clock in the morning, how to make sure I get an even number of hours for sleep.

I think about people a lot too. People I know, people I care about. Making sure they're alright. I love sitting at a cafe somewhere and watching people go by, wondering what kind of person they are. It always amazes me -- rarely human interaction happens just from an offhand hello or awkward handshake. It's always about conversation. :)

I usually go out for coffee with a couple of friends or the family, or go to a movie. It's my day off, so sometimes I'm intensely lazy and just hang around the house. :3 But I love doing stuff on Fridays! So if you ever -- you know. Wanna ask me out. Friday's a good day to do it.

I am deathly afraid of scary movies. You can tell me they aren't real all you want -- they still scare the heck out of me in a way that makes me want to burrow my face into someone's arm.

You're an uber-cool chick who wants to talk to another cool chick. I'm open for a friendship, and a relationship -- whatever comes out of it is sure to be fantastic! :) <3 I admit I've been desperate for GLBT pals, because quite frankly I've got none.

Also, I'm a little picky about spelling and proper grammar. Some things are okay. Other things are not. I realize that sounds ridiculous, but simply put - it makes you sound a lot more intelligent, which is incredibly sexy to me. It does not necessarily mean that I will refuse to respond, but keep it in mind.
