The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death, so I'll give you a second to catch your breath.

I'm currently in a happily open relationship with jtosch100.

I'm living life to about 70%, because I've got a real problem with burnout.

If I had it my way, I'd go to work in jeans, a hoodie, and beat up Converse All Stars.

Contrary to popular belief, being in an open relationship does not mean that I am 1) desperate, 2) any less discerning about my sexual partners than other girls, or 3) a slut. I thought this would go without saying. Apparently, I was wrong. Please don't message me with only a badly worded and/or punctuated proposition. It saves me the trouble of having to politely brush you off.

Also, if you ended up at my profile because I've stated that I'm looking for casual sex, you should probably know that I define casual sex as FWBs, or light-hearted romance without commitment. No benefits unless you want to be my friend, sweetheart.

And finally, to all the married men out there who listed themselves as "available," and have an "unspoken agreement" with their wives, stop kidding yourself. An unspoken agreement is no agreement at all, and I don't want to cheat with you. I'm no homewrecker.

Counting down to June. Nine days left.

Worrying about August.

Obscure literary and TV references.
Baking.
Guitar hero.
Knitting.
Road trips.
Opening new CDs.

Okay boys, here's a free grammar lesson, because whether you know it or not, every message you send me is a quiz.

Your -- possessive, used to indicate ownership. Ex. "Know your grammar rules."
You're -- contraction for "you are." Ex. "You're really pretty."

There -- pronoun, indicating place. Ex. "I've never been there."
Their -- pronoun, possessive. Ex. "They shook their heads."
They're -- contraction for "they are." Ex. "They're going to the movies."

You're welcome. Study up.

From here on out, I've decided to return messages with corrections. You've been warned.

A lot of times, people think I look familiar or like someone they know, but can't really remember who. I get mistaken for other girls a lot. Just the other day, I got a message from a guy who mistook me for his ex-girlfriend. True story.

I get called "cute" a lot. I'm pretty sure that as good as I'm ever gonna get.

I judge people on what they put in the book section of their profiles. Sad, but true.

Favorite authors: Jane Austen, John Green, Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin and Sylvia Plath. I'm contractually obligated to like Shakespeare, but if we're really gonna talk theater, I like Oscar Wilde.

Favorite authors to mock: Stephanie Meyer, Nicholas Sparks, and people who write books, but weren't originally famous for it, like Tyra Banks, Hilary Duff, and Lauren Conrad.

Movies:
The Princess Bride. Respect it, or leave.

Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, and Peter O'Toole, when he was a younger man.

lots of Sci-Fi: Minority Report, the Island, and Serenity are among the top.

I also have a general affinity for heist movies and CIA thrillers.

Shows: among the currently running, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory. In the off-air category, Firefly, Gilmore Girls (previous to ASP's departure as executive director), Veronica Mars, and its ideological predecessor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Music:
I have appalling taste in music, or so I've been told. I think it's the fact that I don't believe the sun shines out of one band's ass, as so many others do. *coughMetallicacough* (if I just offended you, I'm sorry. It would never have worked between us, darling.)

Great Big Sea. Foo Fighters. Cake. Weezer. Green Day. Plain White Ts. Regina Spektor. A Fine Frenzy. Ben Folds. Relient K. Jason Mraz. The Killers.

Podcasts: This American Life, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, Savage Love.

Food: I eat. I generally avoid Mexican, but love burritos. I love Italian, but avoid pasta. I love Thai, and Chinese, and pizza.

sex
How the hell OKCupid decided that I'm "More sloppy" than most bi girls my age. And why guys still continue to contact me, given this fact. They must like their girls a little messy. :)
My half of a novel that I may or may not ever finish.
The reading habits of 12- and 13-year-olds.
Other things I could be doing for a living:
Sex worker
Children's librarian.
Owning and running a bar in Canada.
Owning and running a bakery/cafe.
Editing books.

Doing something around town.

Except for tonight, apparently. Tonight I'm doing jack squat.

I'm a biter. ;)

You read something recently, and you want to talk about it. Bonus points if it's on my list (see above), and double points if it's not on my list, but I've read it anyway.
You know the differences among to/too/two, and use your knowledge wisely. Seriously dudes, I read twelve-year-olds' writing all day. You have to do better than them.
You think I'm cute/clever/interesting.
You think spirituality is admirable.
You sing along with songs that play in the grocery store/mall/etc. Bonus points for you if they're a little embarrassing (Hall and Oates, Chicago, Huey Lewis and the News, or Jackson 5) and you know all the words anyway.
You want to serenade me.
You want to ask me an interesting question.

I am currently interested in both men and women, as well as couples, for dates, hanging out, being friends, and possibly a more intimate arrangement.
