I am here for Friends

About Me

Forever curious, always changing and very snarky (it's a gift). I should come with a parental advisory sticker slapped to my forehead, but that would be no fun. I grew up in a small town, but crave the big city. I am addicted to coffee (mint mochas), reading, music and nintendo (The Legend of Zelda). I love watching movies and collecting figurines and shot glasses. Which is pretty interesting considering I don't drink all that much. I wish I could travel more. I would love to toodle around the USA on a train or greyhound and visit all the touristy spots. You know get my picture taken with bigfoot or the worlds largest ball of string. That would be awesome. Maybe even go overseas and visit countries like Germany, Scotland, Egypt, Italy, etc. I would love to learn new languages. I would love to learn Latin, Italian, Gaelic, French, better German, etc. I seem pretty adept at learning swear words. I can swear at you in English, German and Spanish. ;p I have a job I love and family I don't. Lets face it they get on my damn nerves at times. Whoever said that we all have to get along needs to be slapped.

I am not your typical girl. I am self sufficent and often perplexed by other people's inability to do the simplest things for themselves. I don't get this. How lazy are you not to know how to change a tire, check your oil and do your own laundry. I would rather go hiking, camping or fishing (although I should point out I absolutely draw the line at baiting a hook with worms. That's just icky), than shopping and Diamonds are not this girls best friend. I do like to paint my toes and pamper myself every now and then, but I would rather just keep it low key and relaxed.
I have this fantastic ability to cut out the bullshit and call it as I see it. I have no problem telling you that yes, your butt looks horrific in those jeans and you should probably try on a pair that is actually made for your body or that red dress makes you look like a street walker (this goes for you girls too). I have no patience for those who feel the need to play mind games, negative nancy's and those who are great big fat liars. These people just piss me off. I don't have time for that crap.
Mix all this with a wicked sense of humor, Care Bear tendancies and the ability to headbang like it's 1984 and what do you get. You get me. Welcome!

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet some of my favorite authors, musicians, actors and the creators of Nintendo. Just to say thank you for keeping me out of trouble and entertained all these years. Lets face it if I ever got the opportunity I would probably fuck it up and say something totally ridiculous and stupid and would be forever horrified and damaged by the experience that I would have to run away and hide.
I would like to meet the founders of Starbucks and tell them that they are evil as hell and thank you for the Venti Caramel Macchiatos that I religiously consumed in college. You Bastards! ;p
I would like to meet the builders of Stonehenge and the great Pyramids. Also, the creators of those snazzy crop circles. Lets face it those things are fucking awesome.
