punk rock. bubble baths. language. reading. writing. music. cameras. sleeping in the sun. trampolines. grocery shopping. vintage couches. Life. dramatic yawning and stretching. involuntary toe curling and spine shivers. unplanned adventures. late nights. morning cuddles. jangly guitar music etc.

I'm a mess.
I splash in puddles.
I kiss my dogs on the lips.
I run through sprinklers while everyone else sleeps.
I roll down grassy hills.
I scream in my car.
I read books.
I swim naked.
I.Crave.Action.

Everything breaks my heart.

I try to be positive in my thoughts, but I'm no Dalai Lama and sometimes a tantrum sounds really appealing.

I have zero attention for watching other people do things. I am super hands-on.

Photography. Writing. Trying to get back to art stuff.
I cook a lot. I'm sort of uncivilized and make up my own rules.
I am constantly seeking out new skills. When I want to try something out or add some activity to my repertoire, I don't care how old I am or if there's money or time commitment involved. I am doing it. All the way.
I have lists of things I want to get into. I have a now! complex, and I don't like to wait around or plan things out. This can be good or bad, depending.

some (most?) days I'm just lost.

Injuring myself in eccentric ways.

Carrying it all in ONE TRIP. i refuse to come back for anything.

spontaneity, cooking, adventures, avoiding drama, acting on impulse, drinking mass quantities of water, snapping gum, being sassy, being hopelessly indecisive unless I know what I want, then being stubborn as a mule.... convincing the public I am bold and uninhibited while secretly remaining self-conscious...

I'm NOT good at pretending that I like people who rub me the wrong way.

I played soccer for a bit and rugby. I took some ballet. Some yoga. Some pole. I learned to swim the competitive strokes at 23. It took a broken foot to remind me how much I love the pool. I'm taking fiddle and banjo at the Folk School of st louis.

I smile really big, I laugh really loud, I cry really hard, I talk really fast, and I sleep very little.

Sometimes blunt, but always sincere.

I touch everything.

I probably have ADD

I'm extremely inappropriate at all times.

(a)oh christ don't get me started (b)the sort that leave a strange satisfied feeling in my belly (c)a few rare good'ns (d)punk, oldies, indie, folkystuff (e)YES. Love to eat. Very few foodtypes will be rejected here (except processed foods, which I heartily avoid)

most everything revolves around my belly.

music, skin-on-skin contact, water, random adventures, intimate conversation, language.

sociology, human nature, social justice, travel, the world, language and culture, history, new skills.
i usually have a constant feed of commentary scrolling through my head and can find it hard to concentrate.
Not absent-minded, just elsewhere minded.
Gardens, cellos, stretching, front porches, lovers, simplicity.
Being covered in puppies as a form of therapeutic preventative mental health care.

having coffee with a friend.
getting into trouble.
perusing stacks of books and yawning and stretching dramatically.
riding my bike through sweaty Maplewood and Southside streets.
hula hooping in my living room and eating entire watermelons.

I am NOT watching tv, wasting conversations on the phone I could be having in person, going to church, or listening to conservative radio.

I have a hard time turning down a dare. I'm socially awkward. Sometimes I am too blunt and honest.
I'm kinky and open-minded.
I feel out of place anywhere swanky.
I want to dance, I would probably be great at it... if I knew what to do with my body.
I am neurotic about weird things, and strangely easygoing about the things most people are neurotic about.
I am not stuck up, but I'm not attracted to many people. That's not to say that you aren't an attractive person, or that I don't understand what a generally attractive person looks like, but I am very much a face lady, and only every so often does a face really stick out to me. This explains why I get crushes a lot when I do like someone. That being said- assume I won't be attracted to you, but we can still be friends fo' sho.
I have chronic pain I don't mention much. 24/7 pain. Since forever.
I sometimes have trouble getting the ball rolling on things.
I have a $200 pogo stick. Don't hate.

you have a personality...
you could live on a trampoline...
you want to bring down THE MAN...
you are an open-minded, book-reading, intelligent being with a nice face.
you're easy-going and don't mind getting dirty.
you require snow to tolerate cold weather.
your grammar is awesome.
you crave the unexpected.

-you have no intention of asking why I am angry
