My favorite quote and one I try to remember everyday is "Humans are cowards in the face of happiness. It takes courage to hold on to happiness."

I'm weird in a normal way and normal in a weird way. I'm innocently filthy to quote a good friend.
I love the feel of water and don't mind a bit of a cold as a result. But I dislike being cold.

I listed myself as bi but I refer to myself as very friendly.

I'm fat/curvy/chubby/chunky; how ever you want to say it. Don't like it? Don't message me.
I love touching and cuddling. I'm a complete snugglewhore. I cuddle and hug my friends, and pets as well as lovers.
I'm easily startled but hard to faze.
Ive taken to collecting wigs so that I can pretend to be someone else for a while.
I am very much a softy when it comes to animals, almost to an embarrassing point: I once ran from a theater because the movie showed a dog being microwaved, but I did get to talk to a cute popcorn boy.

I am a nerd and a geek; some of my geek areas are japanese culture and music.
My mind is full of weird facts that I randomly say when they pop in my head. I'm both shy and hyper.
I babble when nervous or clam up completely.

I love to laugh so anything that does that is great; tickling, comedy, jokes. Even dirty/offensive jokes are good, I kind of hit my maximum maturity level at 16 so dumb sex jokes always get a laugh.
I can be very girly but not in that "eww a snake/rat" kinda way. Point in fact, I love snakes and rats.
I love fluffy dresses, stompy boots, spikey/chainy decorations and artistic destruction. Also non artistic destruction; sometimes one just needs to hear a good smash. It clears the air.
I've got a huge dog, a spoiled cat and a strange guinea pig. If you don't like animals, I'm going to annoy the piss out of you.

I love things that belong in the "Uncanny Valley"

I'm a graduate of WCI and working now; working on a B.S. in biology.

Listening to music. People watching and creating mysterious pasts and adventures for them; Fixing up my house (meaning watch for flying paint and wood). Playing my bass and pretending I'm a rock star! Cooking for work, Baking for fun. Gardening, walking and training my dog. Taking lots bubble baths. I have an addiction, I'm putting the workers at LUSH through college.

I've started body painting. I put music on and then paint the images my synaesthetia shows me on to the person's body.

I understand music and biology better than most people. Getting crushes on the oddest people for strange reasons. Sometimes they aren't the best people to have said crushes on. Dancing like a monkey. Baking, candy making, making people laugh, being a brat, being a sweetie, laughing at my ability to be graceful and clumsy at the same time. If you know me you've probably seen me walk in to or trip over things all the time. Walls and telephone poles are the most common.
Slaughtering the English language; Until the age of 5, I spoke in German and Spanish mostly, only using English when I had to. I went to kindergarten and was so behind in my ability to speak English that the teachers frightened my mother into not letting me use any other language. Cause of this I lost my German and Spanish, and English has never sat right with me. I tend to use words by how they feel rather than what the real meaning is. The word "squishy" pops up very often, as a compliment, adjective, verb, noun. The OED would have a stroke around me. And that's just how I like it.

Took a poll and the consensus is: my eyes. Also when I notice anyone looking at me I turn bright red. Very very red. Which makes people remark on it which then makes me redder. It's a never ending cycle. The fact that I dye my hair random colors probably doesn't help stop people from looking at me. Also walking a behemoth of a dog garners some stares too.

That I am far away. I am paying attention, it's just I'm easily distracted; there is more going on in my head than you could imagine. I drift off into daydreams easily, but I don't mean to be rude. Give me a poke and I'll come back.

A- I read alot of historical fiction and vampire novels and *my shame* romance novels. I read science and bio text books all the time. I'm reading through Gray's Anatomy right now. I will read almost anything in fiction and lots of varied genres of nonfiction. Yes, I'm a geek - I like comics and manga, Sanctuary, Transmet, The Invisibles, Fables, Blue Monday, 100 bullets, X-men evolution, fushigi yuugi, JTHM, strain. All in all, it's easier to ask what I haven't read than to ask what I have. I love reading almost as much as I love music. I have a strong soft spot for children's fiction, just for the levels of absurdity in them.

B- The Virgin Suicides, The Pear aka Shooting The Moon, FLCL; most Miyazaki; Kill Bill (Go-Go is so hot); Hellboy; Van Helsing (The visuals are hot; everything else is so bad, it's funny); A Clockwork Orange; Gone with the wind; Grave of the fireflies; What the *#@$ do we know; The Piano; Heavenly Creatures; Harry Potter and....; The Goonies; In the Company of Wolves; Labyrinth; Legend; Neverending Story; Ginger Snaps 1 and 2 and 3; Lola Rennt; Pan's Labyrinth; Sin City; Serenity; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrels; Go; Interview with a Vampire; The Craft; Moulin Rouge; Shimotsuma Monogatari (Kamikaze Girls); Ratatouille; Suicide Club (Jisatsu Circle); Anything by Takeshi Miike; Hairspray; LOTR; I love cartoons so I'm a huge fan of most children's movies and disney movies.

C- ok this is a bit tricky cause I'm just synaesthetic enough that I experience music with more senses than hearing. This means that sometimes I have to restrain myself from jumping someone in the vicinity after listening to certain songs on the radio. Mostly, it means I don't need drugs, just CDs. Which is good cause they're cheaper. So I listen to anything and everything as long as I like it. It is easier to ask me what I don't like in music than what I do. I like just about everything. And I'm finding new things all the time. My taste runs the gamut from soft: Mozart and Vivaldi, 20's jazz, swing, teeny bopper 50's music, billy joel, Enya, new age hippy stuff, musical theater soundtracks; rock: Smashing pumpkins #1, The Birthday Massacre, Joy Divison, New Order, The Cult, Social Distortion, Coil, KMFDM, Melotron, Eisbrecher, Concrete Blonde, Kidney Thieves, L'ame Immortelle, Front 242, Diatribe, Frontline Assembly, Einstürzende Neubauten, Danzig, some Ministry, Luxt Skinny Puppy, led zepplin, The Pogues, Heart, most early 90's "alternative", Rammstein, red hot chili peppers, the cure, NIN, TKK, fleetwood mac, poe, depeche mode, ACDC, Judas Priest, Blue Oyster Cult, Tapping the Vein, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Android Lust, Switchblade Symphony, She Wants Revenge, Bauhaus, Chemlab; pop- won't name my shame just I love to dance and will listen to some insipid crap if I get to shake my ass, japanese music is a big fav - Malice Mizer, Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, Morning Musume, The Brilliant Green, Nana Katase, Dragon Ash, M-Flo, Moi Dix Mois; also I love 80's music; rap and R&B - yeah laugh but I like it; country- Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson, Hank Williams Sr, shania twain, alan jackson, dixie chicks, leanne rimes, patsy cline, loretta lynn, george strait, reba mcintire, charlie daniels, faith hill. Pretty much I enjoy any music. Music is a part of my soul, can't live without it. It connects me to and shields me from the world and other people.

D- food I love asian food, sushi especially, I'm as open minded about food as I am about music. which is probably why I'm chubby. Try everything once. I love to cook and experiment with new stuff and I love cooking for people and using them as my guinea pigs on my experiments. They don't seem to mind though.

Music, rain/water, my brain, my pets, love/friendship, someone to talk to and experience things with. I like getting other observations on things right at that moment.

Music, life, can you teach a monkey to play the piano, art, senses, dancing, whether or not I'm a good kisser and of people to practice with, new recipes, jokes, biology, sex, why do people take silly things so seriously, death, afterlife/rebirth, religion, did I feed the cats, perception, touch, fears, has the milk gone bad, bills, am I gonna be late, should get some sleep or keep doing what I'm doing, Where's my pic and is the volume up too high and bothering my roommates, What did I just fall over/walk into?

Watching movies/just existing goofily with friends or at work. Walking down to the park to go on the swings. Playing in the rain and dancing around the house cause I can. BORED. Baking new treats, Painting, jamming along with itunes, daydreaming. Wishing I had an Oompa Loompa to do my laundry and dishes for me.
I don't really have a "typical" Friday night. Shenanigans happen as often as quiet nights.
Right now I'd really like to learn how to play pool. So I'm rousting up friends to go to the pub and help.

Right now I'm exploring and educating myself about sex and sensuality and what I like and don't like. I've been reading books and trying to learn from my wonderful partners and practice, practice, practice.

Calm down you dirty minds. ;) That doesn't mean I hop into bed easily. I'm quite picky; if you can't stimulate my mind you aren't getting anywhere else to try.

If you want to. I like meeting new people and making new friends.
But please say something more than "Hi" or "Ur hott"
The arts of conversation can't have declined to that level. Right? ... *crickets chirping* Dammit.
Oh, comments about certain body parts will be ignored. I've been aware of my chest since puberty. Maybe something different? You know, I hear my ears are quite charming.
