I don't like describing myself in three words, or in a self-summary box, or really, at all. I think that's because I'm more of a listener at times (see box 2). I noticed I also like to tell stories more than I like to talk about myself. I'll digress and get on with this.

I'm a pretty easy going person and just like to have fun, although I'm incredibly busy. Fun has been a little hard to come by these days! I work full-time and have been going to school mostly full-time, but I should be taking less hours my last year and a half. I have a very unhappy schedule in that I work the 3-11 shift.

I'm a bit scatterbrained at times (I just went into work today on my day off...oops) and messy (it's a sign of genius). I like to do a little of everything. I hate that I haven't gone camping or biking in more than a year. I'm going to fix that bike tire, I swear. I would like to travel but didn't have the money before. Now it's difficult to schedule with my friends. I like movies, reading, sewing (I've made a few dresses for myself), random craft projects, festivals, theater, cooking, tennis, miniature golf, swimming....I'm not going to go on. I guess I'm just trying to let you know that I like just about anything. Well, I've never really understood watching sports on TV....

My sense of humor is not going to come across here. It's a little sarcastic, wacky, odd, dirty at times. Just depends on my mood.

I'm offended that in the pets question includes only cats and dogs. I have fish which I think are pretty cool. They may be harder to cuddle with, but they leave less fur.

So that's the best I can do. If you don't like it, then...I might have to sit and cry all night.....thanks a lot!

Short answer: working with the mentally ill.

Longer answer: I am a psychiatric nurse and still going to school to get my master's in psychiatric nursing (aka, a psychiatric nurse practictioner).

Once I get done with all of that, I hope to take classes in art, drama, anything more interesting than nursing!

A little bit of everything. I'm a total nerd academically, but I also like all things creative and am pretty decent at them (with the exception of singing---very bad!). As an academic, I realize the above sentences are a fragment and a run-on.

I'm hiding in their bushes.

Books: Anything by Faulkner, Oscar Wilde, or David Sedaris (good combo right?), A Confederacy of Dunces, Geek Love, The Blind Assassin and The Handmaid's Tale, Everything is Illuminated, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Candide, and I almost forgot Ms. Flannery O'Connor!

Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, Tarrantino and Woody Allen in general, Gross Point Blank, Notes on a Scandal, most movies with Emma Thompson (Junior excluded) or Kate Winslet (Titanic excluded), The Sea Inside, Lord of the Rings trilogy, David Wain movies (Wet Hot American Summer, The Ten, Role Models)....I won't go on

I'm adding TV here: Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, 30 Rock, Strangers with Candy, Reno 911, Weeds, Monk, Xfiles, true crime shows (A&E's Cold Case Files is my favorite)

Music: Chicks with cool voices, such Zooey Deschanel, Liz Phair, Lisa Loeb, Regina Spektor; REM; I like most music but I don't necessarily pay attention to whom or what I'm listening to.

Food: Thai is probably my favorite, but I like to try anything.

Ok, obviously family and friends, but that's not a fun answer.

1. Diet Pepsi (or Diet Coke if it's on sale)
2. Movies although I haven't seen many recently
3. Fun clothes
4. Cooking
5. Craft/art projects
6. My comfy, comfy bed

why I can't keep my plants alive.

Every other Friday, I'm working. I really don't like 3-11 shift but I also don't like getting up in the morning.

The other Fridays, I generally go out with friends to dinner, a bar, a comedy show, etc.

I'm actually very sensitive beneath my sarcastic, hard shell. If you tell anyone that, I'll kill you.

you are the most awesome man on the planet.....or maybe if you think we have something in common.
