**Last time I was on OkCupid was abouttt... a year or so ago?

I apologize to all those who never got a reply from me in the past year. I feel guilty neglecting to reply to your messages.

Anyway, don't have the time or patience to type out a whole new bio, so read on if you'd like, but it's probably pretty inaccurate.**

I'm Margaret. =] I was born and raised in New Orleans. Or rather, Kenner/New Orleans East/Metairie, which are basically the suburbs surrounding the actual city of New Orleans. When I tell people I'm from New Orleans, naturally they think I'm some sort of party animal who's been drinking since the age of 5 and flashing Mardi Gras floats since I grew tits.

I should also mention, I'm quite crass and foul-mouthed at times. And also very dirty-minded. And if I am with you, then that means I'm probably quite comfortable around you lol. I've been wondering if I should cut back on cursing... but I dunno, do I really want to change that just 'cause it's not exactly socially accepted? I suppose it does help me filter out the prudes. Lol just kidding... except I'm not, haha. Well, sort of. =P

But anyway, I'm not going out clubbing every night downtown despite the fact that it's really the only thing to do here. I'm very shy and awkward at first lol. But I tend to warm up sooner or later, depending on how quickly things can feel less awkward... and that usually depends on how well I can relate with the other person. And unfortunately, that seldom happens. =/ Boohoo, right? lol

I've been pretty sheltered, thanks to my parents. But it's partly my fault too, I probably should've rebelled a bit more. It's difficult though, with the humongous cultural gap between my parents and myself. They're from a different generation, different country, different culture. (They're really old too, haha.) Which means we disagree with each other on absolutely everything. Though sometimes, I disagree with them just for the hell of it. Rebellion is fun!

See, I'm in a really good mood right now, which is why I chose to type up a decent self-summary. =P But trust me, I am not this nice all the time. What's that 90's song? "I'm a bitch/I'm a lover/I'm a child/I'm a mother..." yadda yadda. I just looked it up, seems like Alanis Morissette sings that song, haha. I'm pretty much as fickle as that song describes, and I sometimes wonder if I'll develop schizophrenia. (That would suck. And yes, I'm a little ridiculous, but who doesn't have an outrageous thought every now and then?)

I can be hyper/jaded, idealistic/pessimistic, compassionate/critical, easy-going (but never quite carefree)/nervous, graceful/clumsy, humorous/deadpan, intellectually stimulating! (hopefully!)/ditsy and ignorant (usually with "real world" stuff), argumentative/complacent... of course, I could go on and on. I sometimes used to feel like this horrible squiggly ball of hypocrisy. Kinda like the mess of scribbles that form above Woodstock, the little yellow bird from Peanuts/Charlie Brown, when he falls. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, I found a YouTube clip lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTssF_NYusQ The squigglies come up at 0:15 =] ) I guess I did list some of my "faults", but people have moods. I just sort of shift through mine quicker, haha.

J'ai pris la classe de Francais V AP dans l'annee terminale mais mon francais est si mal/(mauvais?) que je suis tres... (embarrassed).

So, yeah that took me about 2, 3 minutes to type that. I'm *that* bad at French. I don't even want to know how many grammatical errors I made, but hey, I gave it a shot.

I am understanding, lazylazylazy, and self-aware

Going to be a freshman at BU. Very nervous but excited to be getting away lol. There were about... 65? in my graduating class (you'd think I would know since it's such a small class, but I don't =/), and I'm going up to Boston to be part of an undergraduate population of about 33,000 without knowing a soul. Wooo...

I'll need to get a job too, and I've never had a job before so... that'll be an interesting interview. Blank resume, haha.

Oh, and I'm "majoring" in psychology. I'm definitely interested in it, but I'm not sure if it's something I really want to pursue, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to be changing my major around at least twice more. Toying with the idea of going into art, architecture, or philosophy. I hope to have a better picture once I kind of experience what college has to offer me.

I'm going to *try* to focus on my studies. I'm all about self-growth right now lol. So, I'm not looking for a relationship, but I'm not completely close off to the idea. You should also know that I'm in an open relationship with my boyfriend who lives a few states away from Massachusetts.

Hmm... well, I'm an absolute expert at being completely unproductive. It's a horrid curse.

But to be honest, not really good at anything. I'm pretty sure I have massive potential to be good at something if I really really tried, but I never really tried at anything. So I dunno! Maybe I just *think* I have these capabilities when I don't. It's one of those things where it feels safer to never try and hold onto hope, rather than put yourself out there and risk being utterly disappointed.

Oh, I know. I'm really good at giving advice. Lol I honestly think, I've gotta be one of the best. I'm pretty inept at comforting people though... some like to be hugged, some hate being touched, some just want to talk about it forever, some clam up... lol I don't know what to do.

Probably my stature and my body lol. I'm pretty short, but I'm somewhat curvy. I'm not going to start listing off my bodily imperfections (of which I believe I have quite a few), but I will say that I don't fit the conventional idea of beauty. By that, I mean tall, skinny, etc. I think my face is okay though, loll.

If it's not the height they first notice, then it'll probably be my shyness or something about my demeanor.

BOOKS:

So, books that I like are One Hundred Years of Solitude (<333), Grendel, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, The Awakening, Regeneration, The Emperor Series, Angels and Demons, Waiting, The Andromeda Strain, A Streetcar Named Desire.

Most of those, I've obviously read for school. I don't get to read as much as I should, unfortunately. =/ Hopefully that'll change soon!

*Warning: Rant to Follow*

I do want to mention something about the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. When someone says that they adore the Twilight series, I pretty much lose all respect for their taste in literature. Can't help it. It just happens. Granted, the series isn't *horrible*... but it's so... unimaginative. Hardly any plot, flat characters, simple and boring writing style, completely corny and cheesy FLUFF... typical young adult fiction. You can call me heartless, but it's not true. I will bawl my eyes out when I'm reading *good* romance. Y'know, something at least believable. Twilight is not the worst piece of fiction I've ever read, but it is certainly *nowhere* close to being impressive.

As for the author, Stephanie Meyer, I'm not saying she sucks. I plan to read her other novel--the one not meant for prepubescent teeny-boppers--and I hope to be pleasantly surprised and maybe even impressed. Mmk, rant over.

MOVIES:

I like all genres. Have to be in the right mood for a chick flick though, and I don't like horror movies. They really just scare the fuck out of me, so I like to avoid them when possible. Every now and then, I am game for a mildly scary movie though.

Some of my favorite movies are 300 (<333), 45-Year-Old Virgin, An American Beauty, Anchorman, A Little Princess, Aladdin, Butterfly Effect, Batman: The Dark Knight, Bruno, Borat, Becoming Jane, Babel, Bent, Big Daddy, Bad Boys 2, Braveheart, Choke, Casino Royale, Corpse Bride, Constantine (Yeah, I know.. but I like it), Catch Me If You Can, The Cell, The Departed, Domino, Dodgeball, Donnie Darko, The Devil's Advocate, Epic Movie, Fight Club (yay for Chuck Palanuik), The Gladiator, The Hangover, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (<333333333333), Hannibal Rising, Hercules, I Am Legend, Interview with a Vampire, Jackass 2, Knocked Up, The Fountain, Lord of War, Love Actually, The Lion King, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Little Nicky, Legends of the Fall, Meet Joe Black, Memoirs of a Geisha, Meet the Fockers, The Matrix Trilogy, Men in Black, Men in Black II, Old Boy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Pursuit of Happyness, Paris Je T'aime, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Religulous, Resident Evil movies, The Road to El Dorado, Rain Man, Sweeney Todd, Superbad, Smokin' Aces, Stranger Than Fiction, She's the Man, Super Size Me, Shaun of the Dead (<333333), Star Wars: Episodes I-VI, SLC Punk (<3 x 100), Schindler's List, Terminator Salvation, Thank You for Smoking, Titanic, Tarzan, Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans, Unfaithful, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Wedding Crashers, Zoolander.

I really tried to make that list shorter, but I couldn't. I love each of those movies. Those are all pretty new-ish movies, I have a huuuuuge list of movies I haven't seen that I will watch in the future. Those include: Apocalypse Now, A Clockwork Orange, The Breakfast Club (Yeah... I haven't seen it lol), Coco Chanel, Clerks, Clerks II, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Casablanca, Doubt, Dead Poets Society, Gandhi, The Graduate, The Godfather: Parts I-III, House of Flying Daggers, Harold and Maude, The Joy Luck Club, The Last Emperor, The Lost Boys, Milk, Match Point, Much Ado About Nothing, Monty Python, My Fair Lady, Pulp Fiction, Rent, Sicko, Secretary, Some Kind of Wonderful, Scarface, Transamerica, This Is Spinal Tap, Wanted, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, & maaaany more. I'm open to suggestions and recommendations though! Always love a good movie.

MUSIC:

Too many bands and artists to name. Longer than the list of movies lol. I used to be really up to date with music, and spent hours and hours at the computer searching through and download new music everyday. I hit a certain point where the music that was coming out of the punk scene just wasn't worth the effort anymore. So, I pretty much stopped after that. I just listen to the radio now. I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music. I tend to like pop, techno, trance, alternative rock, hardcore, screamo, metal, rap, hip hop, r&b, reggae, classical, world music. I'll really just listen to anything that sounds good to me whether it be for good lyrics, melody, beat, or whatever. My exceptions are country and jazz, don't like most of it.

FOOD:

I'm almost willing to try anything. I've eaten a few weird things that I'm sure could make a few people cringe. I won't eat bugs... or fried animals that look like fried animals, and none of that Fear Factor crap. Not going to eat a boiled deer penis.

My favorite food is probably the sushi roll. I dream about eating sushi sometimes. =P Of course, I love Korean food. I like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, some Mediterranean, Mexican, etc. It doesn't really matter what country the food originated from, I'll eat it as long as it doesn't have stuff I don't like to eat. For instance, don't like to eat olives, cilantro, mint leaves, merrichino cherries, bell peppers, red beans, most beans, celery, and other stuff that I can't think of right now. I'm extremely picky with my food. I wish I wasn't, but I really just can't stand to eat food that's not made well.

I really don't like this question, but I'll do it anyway. Not going to cover the obvious essentials like water, food, shelter, etc.

1. My laptop/Internet - I have a mild internet addiction.

2. My cell? - I do like to text a lot.

3. Friends/Family/Loved ones - Everyone should have at least one true friend. As for my family, lol I don't have to like them to love them.

4. My camera - I like to take photos, though I'm no pro. I plan on buying a professional camera when I save up enough money for one. I'd like to take a class some time, too.

5. Hair ties - I get tired of having my hair in my face if I have to concentrate. And I also play with it too much when it's down.

6. Rainy days - One needs a good rainy day every once in a while.

I used to be one of those people who couldn't stop thinking, and to me, that was hell. I'd try to stop thinking, and I literally couldn't. I would lie in bed for hours thinking, then trying to stop thinking, and then finding myself thinking again. Too many thoughts just bombarding my mind. I thought about really deep philosophical crap (but if you asked, I wouldn't remember what they were lol), some things that were pretty weird and just pointless, and I thought a lot about religion and that whole thing about the state of man.

I don't really think about all the "big questions" much anymore. I kind of laid those thoughts to rest. There's a lot I haven't figured out yet, but I think it'll come with time and more experiences.

On a summer night? I'm probably doing dumb things like watching a movie I just downloaded online, chatting on AIM, watching tv until about 5 or 6 in the morning. I wake up at around 2-3. =]

Even if it wasn't summer, I probably wouldn't be doing anything special on any night lol. Personally, I blame my parents 'cause it's just easier that way, but I do think I should have rebelled a bit more. Who knows, maybe all of that will change with college. ;]

I wanted to be a stripper when I was 8 after I saw that movie with Demi Moore lol.

I think the little mole on the upper left part of my left boob is cute. I believe his name is either Bob or Julius, I've forgotten 'cause I've renamed them too many times.

I watch quite a bit of porn. =P

Um, I'm pretty open to any question you may ask. Doesn't hurt to try.

Message me if you'd like to hang out and be friends! (For those of you who live in or near Boston.) I think I said this before, but I'm really nervous and shy at first. I don't like meeting people I don't know... but hopefully I won't chicken out and I'll warm up to you eventually lol.

Message me if you'd like to strike up a conversation. I can't guarantee I'll be really interesting. It only happens every so often. =P

Well, have a nice day! =
