'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
-I'm a chocolate fiend and Viggo and Hugh's #1 groupie... -I'm also an avid Alan Ball and Ricky Gervais fan...and a faithful follower of the Stooges, Curly and Moe... -I'm an inch shy from being a 5 footer. Damn. Damn. Damn. -I've been told that I can do an uncanny Karen Walker impression. -I have fallen in love...with yoga. "Meditate not Medicate" -I am above all things...a pathalogical shipper. -I may be a runt, but I'm more like a chihuahua who doesn't see the limitations of being small. -I'm quite the gregarious twerp..esp once you get to know me. And I've been known to throw people off guard with the shocking things that comes out of my mouth. Thus, dubbed by the 3 stooges (with a ridamndiculous moniker), "Chester". I believe I'm the long lost daughter of Gomez and Morticia Adams. As the theme song suggests, I'm creepy and I'm kookie. But sweet kookie... I like sugar with a little bit of coffee...and I squeak even more when I'm high on caffeine (and after 10 or more reese' cups). I have a weird interest in macabre stories thus the addiction to Six Feet Under (and the Lydia Deitz pic) as well as watching HBO's Best Of Autopsy. I do love to listen to Jazz (be it fusion, mainstream or Acid) but once in a while I'll listen to the Igby Goes Down soundtrack (Badly Drawn Boy and Dandy Warhols). And I love to eat lechon kawali (with Mang Tomas sauce)!!!...! Wishing to transform from a menial underling into important social butterfly ( am focusing on gaining inner poise)...

My Interests

I've recently just taken yoga and I'm hooked. The only problem is, I love to eat everything and anything I can get my hands on. I am a voracious eater (at least I think, I am) I can not hold anything down if I even attempt to drink alcohol. I tried scotch but that would mean I'd have to smoke a fag and I've long given that up. I listen to classical music at work (Verdi, Mozart and Bach) but sometimes when it gets a little morose, I switch to acid jazz...if it gets too trippy, I listen to alternative. I love Interpol, Zero 7, Pat Matheney and my favorite drummer, Steve Smith...the Ghandi of Jazz. I love a good laugh and I never get tired of watching BBC comedies like The Office or The Blackadder series (mostly because I enjoy the presence of the funniest British "odd couple"...Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry)...am also currently, guffawing myself silly watching, HBO's "Extras". I am addicted to House and I am obsessed with Viggo. I swoon when I see Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and I have to use a bucket to collect my drool when I watch Oded in The Mummy. I love sugar cookies and can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I nibble on a single hershey's kiss and it can take me 10 minutes to finish one. I'm ashamed to admit I curse like a sailor and I'm a burping fiend. I shed more hair than a wookie and I hate to wear my glasses. I figured if I can't see you, you won't notice me... I am also a photoshop whore, and I'm known to spend countless hours making avatars and joining icontests... Yes *le sigh** this is how I get a grip on my life...it's not much, but it keeps me from slicing my wrists open.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Viggo Mortensen (in full Aragorn "Son of Arathorn" couture and coiffure)...Oded Fehr in all of Ardeth Bay glory...Hugh Jackman sporting Wolverine's tank top (minus the killer claws)...Johnny Depp as sexy Jack Sparrow (he's the cat's meow!!!). Josh Holloway as "Sawyer" and ONLY "Sawyer"...Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House (with cane and signature snark in tow) The slipshod beautiful celebrity is my eye candy!!! Interested in rekindling old friendships with quasi phantom friends...meeting a lot more people who are bubbly and a little crazy as I am...one who won't give me grief for my affinity with SPAM (the processed canned food that caucasians like my mean co-workers at General Technology won't be caught dead admitting to ever eating)...one who'll teach me to be patient and be less judgemental to people who have extreme B.O
