Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm sweet, and smart, and more than a little bit silly. Sometimes I'm so cute I make your teeth ache, and sometimes I'm sarcastic and biting. And sometimes (I know, this is totally unbelievable and probably qualifies as some degree of superpower) I am BOTH at the SAME TIME.

But I'm always, always generous, funny, smart, compassionate, and loyal to a fault (and that isn't just a catchphrase, either; it's broken my heart once or twice). I like to read (voraciously, in fact), I like to learn new things, and I like playing geeky games. If you ever end up in a group of three people or more, I will probably attempt to teach everyone how to play Munchkin so I can kick all your asses and crow about it unrepentantly. Maybe I'm a dork, but I don't mind - geeks are hot. I love acting and writing and telling stories, and I likewise love being told a good story - but I hate being lied to.

My idea of a good time is having three or four friends over, opening a bottle of cheap wine and ordering Chinese, and watching a really terrible movie all snuggled up on the couch together and mocking it mercilessly. Or talking like big fat geeks about our Pokemon teams. I'm not the girl for going out for wild nights on the town club-hopping (do we even have enough clubs for that in Naples? see, I don't even know); I don't have the alcohol tolerance, the disposition or the clothes for that kind of nonsense. I'm not big on sports unless they involve being submersed in water - but I've been water skiing in shows since I was nine. I like climbing the pyramids and stuff like that. They give you little sequined flags to wave, and neon costumes to wear that always smell just a bit off, and it's all very exciting. Woo. I'm an indoor-hobbies sort of girl, with all the pallor that implies.

I've been sick with implausibly serious illnesses (check it out, I almost died once or twice) for nearly a year, and am just now feeling better. During this time, I have occupied myself with expanding my mind and honing my skills: I spent nearly six months in bed cuddling a pair of cats, watching stupid sitcoms on DVD, and playing Harvest Moon (that game isn't even fun, dammit, but I can't stop playing it). I don't mind laughing at my bad luck and the sheer unlikeliness of my various health problems, but I really, really hate it when people hold it against me like some kind of personal shortcoming. So, uh, don't do that.

I'm looking for someone to go out with, to talk to and laugh with and maybe kiss if I'm in the mood; if it grows into something more, that's wonderful, but I don't want to begin with the expectation of more. And see, here's where my happy quirky little summary gets just a bit emo - I'm not here for a boyfriend, or a girlfriend. Really. I'm not here for dates. I don't do first dates. I do friendship with no pressure, and if I want more after I've gotten to know you, then I get an awkward shy crush and mumble a lot and we figure it out from there. Every time I've gone on a 'date,' at the end of the night I was thinking 'hey, that was fun, let's get to know each other and see if we want more,' and he was asking what size ring I wear and when I was free to meet his mom. Lemme warn you right now, ladies and gentlemen, you even mention meeting your mother before I've known you six months or more and I will be gone like I was slingshotted, you hear me?

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Recuperating (it's an irritatingly long process) so I can pay my bills, and then taking some acting classes and then GOING TO BE A TV STAAAAARRR *sparkles*

...yeah, I do that. Sometimes I am five.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Giving gifts. Being there when you're crying and it's four in the morning and you need someone to talk to. Writing. Character creation. Drawing. Acting. Making a killer cup of tea, and the best cookies you've ever had to go with it. Petting cats.

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

I have a lot of hair, really big eyes, and am petite (or 'slender' or 'slim'; skinny just sounds rather...icky). And I look approximately sixteen unless I go to town on the makeup, which I generally don't, because that is a lot of trouble and I am lazy.

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

I must confess that while my very favorite books are Pride and Prejudice, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Jane Eyre, I have an embarrassing weakness for cheesy romances. But not the really cheesy ones! Not anything called, like, The Duke's Scarlet Passion Lovebaby or whatever. I like Loretta Chase. And even though I know that Laurell K. Hamilton is a hack and her books are garbage, I read them compulsively anyway. What? All the men come in such pretty colors! I also love japanese manga, which I like to buy in Japanese and then download the translations so I can follow along and pretend I am working on my Japanese, ha.

Movies. Ah, movies. I like good movies, I do. I have a large collection of them. It's just that when I am feeling sick or tired or what-have-you and want to watch a movie, I reach for terrible chick flicks and cartoons. Disney movies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, 13 Going on 30, even some of those awful tween romances. I don't know, I mean, the cartoon comedies are good (I love the Boondocks) but the chick flicks...I think maybe I have this subconscious drive to punish myself back into good health. Or maybe I just have bad taste. I do like superhero movies! Spider-Man, Batman (the new ones, c'mon now, don't look at me like that), NOT the Fantastic Four unless everyone is allowed to talk a la MST3K....

My taste in music is unclassifiable, save that I don't like country and I don't like things composed primarily of screaming. I do appear to like whiny British men and electric violins, and my fondness for semi-generic indie pop appears to be fairly reliable, but those are the only constants I've been able to determine; it's pretty hit-or-miss.

Food: Italian, Chinese, Ice Cream, and graham crackers. Also tea. Yes, I have run out of things to say. Oh! I love Pad Thai! Do specific dishes count?

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

A good pen. A nice set of art pencils. A lot of paper. My laptop (it broke once and it was like losing an arm. I had ghost pains!). Internet. Bit torrent.

And a pair of cats. YES I KNOW THAT IS MORE THAN SIX THINGS YOU JUST SHUT UP. They're really awesome cats. They deserve an extra slot.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Well, see, right now I spend a lot of time piecing together this story I'm in the beginning stages of writing, involving multiple worlds and global disaster and null points and places where dimensions cross each other causing variations on that world's theme and...

...unicorns?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.

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

My underpants have frogs on them.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You're original and creative, and have a dry, snarky sense of humor, and like to be around people who are simultaneously sarcastic and sweet and very silly.

Just so you know, I will not be sleeping with you. Not you personally, and not anyone else. Celibacy makes the heart grow less broken and paranoid. So I guess if that's what you're looking for, don't bother.

On the other hand? I'm totally worth it. I'm Awesome Autumn. It's alliterative, and it almost rhymes - that's how you know it's true. Studies show that wordplay in nicknames (puns excluded) increases the odds of their accuracy by at least 87%. TRUFAX.
