About Me


i am obsessed with the smell of pinesol, unfortunately this doesn't inspire me to clean as often as you would think... so let's see, me...i'm sarcastic and really laid back... pointless drama annoys me. i tend to switch between being hyper/crazy/staying out too late with being mellow/staying in person.. although this switch tends to occur overnight and is usually the result of a hangover, heh. ok um... sometimes i'm funny. sometimes i fall down stairs.. i haven't quite learned to whisper in some situations.. i use these: ... way too much when typing.. I love to sleep in. I hate routines and i pretend my life doesn't have them, although it of course does.. I have a lot of good friends in my life and love them all to death, but i also tend to not get too deep with only but a few of the best ones.

My Interests

i like...
sticking my tongue out hanging out with friends (and sometimes tight rolling my pants just to reminisce), drinking beer and occasionally a good gin and tonic, hijacking cigarettes, going to shows, traveling to places I've never been, road trips, the ocean, beaches, boats, being taken out of my comfort zone, talking hamsters *gasp*, gummi worms, old ads and packaging, older cars especially ones with suicide doors, and either the 60's or the 70's version of the Toyota Crown (someone needs to give me this car asap--or any good 70's car for that matter), netflix, summer and being able to run around barefoot, the Arco lamp, peeling stickers and labels off of things, bubblewrap, marvin the martian , the words "chunky" and "crunchy", pop art, graffiti especially stuff like Twist's , sleeping in, happy "hour", thunderstorms especially when you're just going to bed, driving with the windows down (and blasting ' Slow Ride '), cookie dough, drunk text messaging "i an wasted" and thats about enough for now.

I'd like to meet:

I love people that I instantly seem to click with, when I can tell right away that we could have fun together. I'm not very talkative in situations where I don't relate to or don't know the people around me, in fact I tend to be very quiet then. I become more myself when I'm around people that have similar senses of humor or what not. I have a wide range of friends and am always up for making even more. I love people that make me experience new things. Ordinary people usually lose my interest fast, I like people to be a bit eclectic, a little bit crazy, have a warped sense of humor, be fun and who can make me laugh. OK, whoohoo, that should attract all the freaks! :) um, but yeah, I don't know, I also appreciate it when people can shed the sarcasm when appropriate and be sincere.
