I am quirky, unsure, and AWKWARD.

My Self-Summary

Ugh....

I am prone to bouts of unhappiness because of little things.
I have a quick temper.
I am not artistic, but wish I was.
Dis-trusting of religion
Dresses instead of pants
I play a mean 7th grade trumpet and French horn
Favorite music tends to be Folk and Americana
Not jumping in my bed (my mom always would tell me about how she got a scarnear her right eye from jumping on her bed when little. Still afraid of this happening to me)
Quite Nerdy (I am a fan-girl of many many nerdy things)
I don't know enough local music...something that should change
I heart mixed tapes (though don't have tape player, something else that should change)
Am good at making an ass out of myself
Open minded and non-judgmental, it comes with the job.
Whiskey drinker
Quirky
Healthy----or trying to be
Unique Thrift Store on Sheridan is my favorite place
Record player is broken and has been for too long
Resident Evil 4 on the Wii...or Mario Galaxy (remember me nerdy)
Young At Heart (Fantastic movie)
Zombie movies and books (reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies right now)
I am a list maker.
I am ashamed to admit that I like The Polyphonic Spree (I blame the robe-wearing aspect of this band)
And my mom says I am a catch

What I’m doing with my life

SOCIAL WORKER, which of course is code for over-educated and under-paid, but I am ok with this because I was lucky to actually find a job I love. Listening to the Dr. Horrible and the Sing-Along-Blog soundtrack.

I’m really good at

Arriving 10 minutes early

The first things people usually notice about me

That I am short

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Well if I really must:

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter (all), World War Z, Franny and Zooey, To Kill a Mockingbird, Rocky one and four, B-movies, Roman holiday, Funny Ha Ha, Royal Tenenbaums, Chinatown, Cool Hand Luke, Pretty in Pink, April Fools Day, Clue, Beirut, Okkervil River, Richard Buckner, ABBA, Mirah, Dolly Parton, Frightened Rabbit, The Tallest Man on Earth, The Antlers, Ryan Adams, M. Ward, Ira Glass, The Office, The West Wing, The Pixies, Rilo Kiley, Mount Eerie, The Akron Family and on and on and on

Where is the question about favorite blogs or podcasts....and how about least favorite things?

So I have been listening to my Bon Iver station on Pandora...A LOT...and I realized after listening to Bob Boilen on All Songs Considered I have been mispronouning "Bon Iver"...whoops!

Pretty much I just listen to the Dr. Horrible and Sing-Along-Blog Soundtrack...that probably won't change any time in the future

The six things I could never do without

Shoes
Pillows
Communication
Light
Attachments
Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Too many things, but lately it has been how I would survive the Zombie War. Max Brooks...he has some good ideas.

On a typical Friday night I am

Watching PBS and sewing
Sleeping
Watching a movie
Alone
With Friends
Batman

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I hate first dates

Also I realize after reading my above mentioned answers that I am coming across as a downer...I am not...well mostly not

You should message me if

actually want to date someone and not just have sex...maybe
