About Me

i have never gotten bored with being straight edge, not even after more than a decade.
i'm excited for cold weather because my winter wardrobe is much cuter than my summer wardrobe and i have a major thing for boots.
i watch a lot of tv and i'd love to call it a guilty pleasure but, frankly, i don't feel guilty about it at all.
i work out often and i listen to terrible music while doing so.
i'm almost done with college and each day i am a bit more convinced that i would rather be a housewife than start a real career. potential future husbands know the following: i'm sweet, i bake, and i always smell delicious.
i'll correct your spelling faster than i'll correct your grammar, but don't think i won't correct them both.
i'm a generous tipper and i'm polite to cashiers.
i recently visited sea world and was so excited i may have cried on several occasions. this is what happens when you don't do anything cool as a child, you enjoy it that much more as an adult.
i live beyond my means and i am not sure how, but i pull it off.
the restrictions of the lifestyle i have chosen have made me a bit of an arrogant bitch and if i cared i might make an effort to change that, but i don't.
my friends are, for the most part, the smartest, funniest, best people anyone has met in the past 25 years. i'm good at finding them and even better at keeping them.
i could say plenty more, but screw it.
also, i write mean things here:
Complaint After Complaint
go there, read things, and maybe you'll learn a little something.

My Interests

straight edge, vegetarianism, atheism, pro-choice, flipping only the democrat switches on election day, watching too much tv, being antisocial, texting at lightning speed, working out, counting calories, spending frivolously, coffee, tea, tv on dvd box sets, cheering for an out of town hockey team, and being perpetually 10 minutes late

I'd like to meet:

+anyone who's got the straight edge.
+people who read the complaint website and laugh with us because they aren't guilty of any of the things that piss me off.
+fellow top model and project runway addicts.
+people with great cookie recipes.
+people i already know. if we were ever anything close to friends, i probably miss the hell out of you at least once in a while.
+people who know lots of random pop culture trivia.
+anyone who would like to play board games with me.
+a boy who is straight edge, of strong morals, intelligent and educated, nonreligious, cute, single, and can handle my bullshit. i don't think such a person exists, but you never know.

I would NOT like to meet:
-people who think it's awesome to get hammered every night then wander around hung over the next morning.
-sleazy dudes who send me messages because they think i might be the sort of girl who will meet them for a drink and maybe blow them in a moment of bad judgment.
-anyone who offers to pray for atheists so we don't end up in hell.
-any dude who has ever taken a picture of his shirtless reflection in the bathroom mirror.
-any girl who has ever set her camera timer and then bent over in front of it in her underwear.
-anyone who uses aol shorthand. seriously. fuck yourself. if you can't be bothered to type out an entire three letter word then you really have no place in society. in short, "ur" an asshole.
-potheads.
-anyone who thinks getting their own name tattooed on themselves is a good idea.
-shitty drivers.
-evangelical christians.
-basically, i would not like to meet 99.9% of the world's population.
