oh, patsy!

Sure, if I have time, I'll hide the bondage straps, bong and your dildos.

About Me

I'm short and clumsy. I like beer. I sling coffee. I have many interests (scroll left). I like hanging out.

I have a new favorite word. It is "asscock."

That is all.

My Interests

art that doesn't appear on calendars
making long obnoxious lists
spelling ridiculous correctly
rocknroll
nachos!
threadless tshirts
beer
tacos
falafel
potatoes
burritos
sandwiches
(pb&j and fluffernutter especially)
7 layer dip
sharing the above with friends while watching tv, movies, etc. the visual can be lousy, could be good, but the dip and the friends are what makes it.
going to shows
board game night
drinking with friends
eating (preferably with friends)
i can't yo-yo, but they're fun anyway
knitting
crocheting
quilting
...orgami to be conquered soon
playing in leaves
crunching leaves when i walk
walking in drizzle listening to avail
listening to my favorite bands
songs that make me smile
sharing good music with friends
being silly
making lists
giggling

I'd like to meet:

People to talk about trashy novels and bad tv. Anyone who'll watch silly movies with me. People who listen to lame music. People who live in the Bay Area, since I live here. People who dig art, and have an interest in art besides impressionist painting (I'm running into too many of these people lately as is!). People who still watch cartoons. People who like to laugh a lot. People with ambition, even if it's just really wanting to perfect the art of paper airplanes. People who like to go out for a beer and cheap tacos. People to have uno battles with. People to teach me how to be better at crafting. Anyone and everyone who despises 'hip' internet speak which pop culture has only glorified (dammit, you has a y and an o in the word as well!). People who make me do stuff besides sitting around!

Bad action movies (amg Segal!)
Movies with vampires, werewolves and the like
Movies where stuff happens
Movies where nothing ever seems to happen (except you gerrying everything)
I'm a sucker for a good story, even if the dialong is weak. Hell, I'm a sucker. Usually if it starts I have to see the whole thing. Damn you, sense of closure!

My new current love: John Dufresne. Old loves that I still keep around (and shamelessly reread): Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, David Sedaris, Eudora Whitley, Neil Gaimen, Terry Pratchett, Veg(etari)an Cookbooks, Sue Monk Kidd, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Franzien, crafting books, Newhall's History of Photography, Law and Order Coffee Table Book (oh yes, it exists)...I'll have to add more later when I can actually look at my book collection instead of desperately trying to entertain myself at work.

Heroes:

People who survive
Women who make noise
Those who refuse to settle
And this guy.
