Saluton. That's the extent of my knowledge of Esperanto. I'm Rini, I got talked into joining this a while ago by textchan. Keep reading, it gets better.

I buy cute/awesome things on a whim, just because I see them and want to own them. I really need to grow up, but I don't see the advantage. Thus, pancakes are awesome. I like tea, too. I don't go a day without having at least one cup.

I'm that girl you see on the bus with the big headphones and the weird hat. If you do see me, feel free to tap me.

I have low tolerance for stupidity, so I can seem kind of misanthropic sometimes. I only laugh at people in my head, though. Not out loud. I dislike conflict.

I have been described, on separate occasions, as anything from "insane" to "a good friend". Capslock, when used appropriately, makes any thing more awesome.

Strange animals are the best. I would much rather have an axolotl or a coconut crab than a hamster.

Please don't say the word "twitter" around me... As well as the word "trendy". It's MY word for making fun of trendy things.

I cannot feel truly happy without the presence of at least one the following:power lines, trains, instant noodles. I believe in subjective reality.

I also really, really like word puzzles. Word searches are my favorite but I am slowly getting into crosswords as well. You know those cheap little word finder books you can buy at supermarket checkouts? I have a dozen or so lying around.

Oh, and video games are a big part of my interests/circle of friends/lifestlye. It's not ALL I do, but I do talk about them a lot if given the chance, including lame references to obscure games nobody has heard of. I mainly play RPG's, but I'll try everything at least once. Oh, and I love MMOs, too. I'm kind of addicted to them sometimes, more so for the community than the gameplay. I don't have a very extensive collection between my four consoles (360, DSlite, PS2, Gamecube) though, since video games are expensive and I lack the expertise to pirate them.

Also I don't drive so transit's pretty much my only option. This means that, if you wanna hang out, either pick me up in your car or be there around noon. Midnight trips to random places are also fun (Denny's, anyone? I'm pretty sure I have a fetish for chocolate milkshakes, though the ones at The Alamo in Austin are still the best I've ever had.)

Undergrad in College, working on a Bachelor's in Psychology. It sounds fancy but it's really just another way of saying "I can't think of anything else to take and Psych is something I don't hate." I do have a part-time job during the summer months, and during school I work between classes.

Not doing laundry for a while and still finding things to wear.
Those word search puzzles in the paper.
Making jokes out of everything (I'm really mature. Really. I just have an odd sense of humor)
Pretending things reference other things when they clearly don't.
Obsessing over fictional characters.

Bipedal humanoid of the female sex.

There's no section for TV, so I'll make one:

TV: Doctor Who, Torchwood, Firefly, Life on Mars (UK version), Arrested Development, Bones, Eureka

Music, other people, something to write on/with, air, certain items of clothing.

Hah, that's only five.

The world. Society in general, worlds and people that don't exist, miscellaneous stuff like how a right turn stops being a right turn as soon as you take it.

Lately I've spent a lot of time thinking about evolution, and how it is that we went from being a 1-pound nocturnal bush baby to something that regularly visits the moon.

Anything and everything? Either playing video games, having a TV marathon of something (I only have two channels, so box sets ftw!) or am being dragged out to a midnight Denny's run.

And everything in between, naturally.

You're a girl who is into other girls? I do like having guy friends, but I have DOZENS. Seriously. I'm not interested in dating you right now, sorry. Girls, on the other hand...

Or if, regardless of gender, we have common interests. That's always nice.

Drop a line, send out a signal, and we'll see where it goes.
