To start things off: I do NOT want a relationship based solely on sex. AT ALL. I take sex far too seriously and just don't want to deal with that emotionally. If you don't like it, then go find someone else to message about how much you want to bang them.
That being said, I'm trying to figure out what to say about myself. I'll just be honest and say it all so no one gets the idea I'm someone I'm not.
I'm opinionated, to the point where I will generally never change my mind about something. I will generally not try to change someone else's mind about something unless I feel strongly about it, and even then I'll shut up if you want me to.
I am quirky. It is not easy to be friends with me. I oftentimes wonder why my friends tolerate me. I have a tendency to be rather bitchy when I'm stressed, but I try my hardest to make up for it when I can. Here's an example: I snapped loudly at a couple of friends the other night, and consequently apologized violently and brought them food.
I try to be funny, because there is nothing more special to me than the laughter of the people I care about. Sometimes my jokes aren't funny at all and are actually sort of dumb, my sincerest apologies.
I am insanely protective of the people I love. Do anything to any of my friends or my family, and you and I will at least have words. Maybe more. All of my friends' significant others get a speech from me: "You hurt him/her or upset him/her, and I will be on your doorstep with a baseball bat." And I'm serious. I will take on anyone who hurts one of my loved ones, I don't care who you are.
I'm often awkward and uncharacteristically quiet when meeting someone new, especially a potential romantic interest. I am SCARED TO DEATH to insult them, even though once I get to know someone I tend to just run my mouth off.
That's another thing. I talk. I talk and talk and usually my mouth is going LONG before my brain engages. I try my hardest to not offend anyone or make insulting jokes, so if I offend you tell me. I will shut the hell up.
My temper almost has an on and off switch. I get angry very easily, but I also calm down pretty easily too. And then I apologize for my actions to the point that I'm insulting myself and calling myself names. I can be pretty sensitive at times, mostly because I used to just lie down and take it and I was very unhappy then. I vowed to never take crap from anyone anymore. I also get lonely rather easily, which leads to more angst.
I love people... okay let me clarify that. Society as a whole gets on my nerves, but I love individuals. The people I surround myself with, I would do anything for. I have inadvertently set up three of my friends with people I was interested in, and didn't do anything about it. It upset me, but my friends' happiness is far more important to me. I bailed a friend out of homelessness and beat up her mom's abusive boyfriend in the same night. I take care of my people.
All that scary stuff being said, I'm a hopeless romantic. I do NOT demand chivalry, but it makes my knees quiver. The one time I got flowers from a guy, I wanted to marry him. I'm a big fan of all the cute stuff, like snuggling on a couch and taking long walks at night. I do not like extensive PDA, you know the kind where the couple is practically eating each other's faces in public. But I do like holding hands or walking with an arm around each other. In private, I'm a lot more touchy-feely. I like hugs just a bit more than kisses, because nothing beats a big hug from your friend or loved one.
I try my hardest not to judge people. There are some things that make me a bit uncomfortable, but they will never end a friendship. I've been enough of a fuckup in my life that I don't think it's fair to judge someone. I consider myself to be pretty open minded, but there are exceptions to every rule. I believe in honesty... someone being honest with me is a bigger turn-on than almost anything.
Oh, and the three things I will geek out about: music, movies, and serial killers. I got a book with actual interviews with some of the sickest murderers out there, and wouldn't shut up about it for like three days.

Trying to get it back on track. Right now I'm going to go back to school - I used to be a Spanish major, and I don't know what I'm going to do now. Something Criminal Justice related.
I'm searching for a job, like much of the country, and I'm trying to calm everything down. I understand life's a rollercoaster, but really?

Music - not anything like writing it or improvising, but playing. I've played music since I was five, and I enjoy it very much. Music is one of the three things I will geek out about.
I'm pretty good at photography, at least sometimes. I also take thousands of pictures. My philosophy is that if you take lots of pictures, your likelihood of getting a good one increases a bunch.
I feel confident in saying that I am excellent at making people laugh. My friends are almost always laughing when they're around me, and I have a special ability to get my older brother to laugh harder than anyone else can.

Probably my adorable roundness and childish face. Haha. After that, probably my smile, I've been told it's pleasant.
Then, it's my atrocious sense of style. I wear jeans and t-shirts. ALWAYS. And not even nice jeans and t-shirts, but ill-fitting ones. I'm trying to improve my wardrobe, but I also have zero self-confidence in my appearance.

Books: (in no particular order) The Inheritance Cycle, The Inkheart Trilogy, The Harry Potter series, The Goosebumps series (only because R.L. Stine was my inspiration to write), The Handmaid's Tale, The Poisonwood Bible, American Psycho, and there's probably more. Oh, and books about serial killers, both fictional and non-fictional.

Movies: (again, order does not matter) Requiem for a Dream, American Psycho, 10 Things I Hate About You, Beetlejuice, Milk, Alien, The Princess Bride, Chasing Amy, The Boondock Saints, and the Hannibal Lecter movies. Oh, and I will watch any horror movie, any time. Ask me what I want to watch, and I will answer "Scary movie!! I want to watch a scary movie!!!!" every time.
TV shows: CSI, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The X-files.

Music: My two favorite bands are Rise Against and VNV Nation. I also enjoy The Beatles a lot. However, I will listen to just about anything. I do not enjoy modern rap, but I will listen to a little bit of the old stuff - I have been shown the light as to the older stuff. My favorite type of music has got to be goth, followed closely by punk.

Food: I love food. Period. I think my favorite kind of food is Italian. I also REALLY love Middle Eastern stuff like baba ghanouj or hummus with some warm pita, stuffed grape leaves, falafel, and gyros. My favorite food in the world is my mom's spaghetti, followed very closely by her beer cheese soup. I try to be a vegetarian, but I lapse often.

Friends
Family
Laughter
Books
Music
Cell phone (I can go like a day without it.)

The past and the future.
The many things I used to plan to do with my life (make a movie with my best friend, write a book {hey I've completed one novel and attempted a few others - I try every year during NaNoWriMo}, be an archaeologist, go to Spain for a year)... and ways in which I could maybe do at least one of those things.
I think a LOT about nice things I could do for my friends, and what I could do to improve their lives.
I also think a lot about whether I'm doing the right or best thing... I'm very impulsive but I spend a lot of time afterwards thinking about my actions.

Hanging out with my friends - driving around or seeing a movie or sitting in someone's room and making fun of each other or playing Rock Band at loud noisy levels in someone's basement.
If no one wants to hang out, then I'll probably be watching movies at my house.

That's not utterly scary? Umm, I fall in love insanely easily. Like, I give my all to pretty much anyone who's nice to me. It just happens.

You're not utterly scared to death by my profile.
You want to make a new friend/bodyguard.
You want to rant at me about something - I'm always up for a good argument.
If you just feel like it.
