Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

So I’ve already done all of this once—-filled these forms out, that is-—but I feel as though I have gotten all the use out of those responses that I’m going to get. It’s time for change, for revolution! Pack only the essentials because this is it! We will not back down!

Great, off to another fantastic (no pun intended) start.

So me? I’m sarcastic. I think too much. I’m quite hilarious at times, if I do say so myself. I’m tolerant. Sort of doormat-y. Until I realize I’m being a doormat, that is, and then I get all indignant and throw a hissy fit and you laugh and tell me to hush. Pig.

I WILL tickle you. I’m sort of like one of those dogs who’re convinced they are ten times as big as they really are. Please, save me your pithy comments about my own analogy to a dog, kthx.

What am I looking for? Not necessarily someone to settle down with; I have many places to go and things to see before I do that. But what I would love above all else is to find someone with whom I will ONE DAY be able to settle down. There is a vacuum beside me, everywhere I go. It isn’t sucking the life out of me or anything but it’s sort of uncomfortable and I’d like it to go away.

AND, why, yes, I am a liberal atheist vegan, thanks for asking.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I work in this amazing bakery/coffee shop. It's wild and quirky and I love it. I was planning on going back to school, but I've realized I'm not ready for that yet, and what's worse than plunging headfirst into something you aren't ready for?

Oh, you're reliving the thrown-into-a-swimming-pool memory? I'll wait.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Seeing things through other people's eyes, memorizing lyrics, driving, talking people into things, making espresso drinks, smiling, thinking of random things I am good at that don't make me sound full of myself.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Shortness, no contest. Then my curly hair ("Is it natural?") Then my eyes, I suppose. I often get the "Wow, you look REALLY familiar" comment.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Books! Jane Eyre, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Invisible Monster, The Grapes of Wrath, The Handmaid's Tale. There are really too many to count. These are just the ones I've read more than twice. I am prone to purchasing any book by any author who has made any sort of blip in important literature.

Movies! I like intelligent comedies, romantic comedies, coming-of-age dramas, horror, documentaries, foreign films, art films...Amelie, Donnie Darko, RENT, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Juno, I Heart Huckabees... Childhood staples which I still revisit include but are not limited to: Back to the Future trilogy, The Goonies, It,...

Music! Modest Mouse, Cursive, Maria Taylor, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, This Busy Monster, The Vandals, Bad Religion, Coldplay, Bright Eyes, Alkaline Trio, Flogging Molly, System of a Down... You should know that this, too, is just a tiny taste, bands I have been listening to lately. Oh, and soundtracks: RENT, Once More With Feeling (BtVS), Juno, Hedwig and the Angry Inch...

Food! Cruelty free! Pasta, pasta, pasta. And vegetable sushi. Mmm.

Also: TV! The Office, Veronica Mars, Dexter, Heroes, Weeds, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Trigun

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

In no particular order: Water (I drink a lot of water), music, someone to talk to, animals, my sense of humor, shoes.

Really, love would be in this list as well, but I have proven that I can do without it. I would just prefer not to.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

My past, the near future, my role/the role of others in the world, what I could have done differently. And love. And everything else that could ever possibly maybe even kind of cross my mind.

I'm not even kidding. If it has occurred to me, I have beaten it to death with my thought processes, chopped it into tiny pieces with my neurons, and then stuffed it into random places no one would ever think to look in with a couple of synapses.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Hanging out with friends, probably. Or online. If there's a good storm, you'd probably find me reading on the front porch.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I sometimes think I'm psychic.

I'm also embarrassingly prone to alliteration. Except in this example...

...See what I mean?
