About Me

I'm obsessed with the thinking process and how it relates to an individual. I'm enamoured with colours, shapes, formulas, science, and operation. I think machines and factories are fascinating. I wish I could have brain functions projected on a wall for evaluation. I want to watch the dreams of others.
I always give advice but never listen to it. I wish I could play piano. I have a terrible memory and attribute it to illness and hypochondria, which is quite ironic, or contradictory. A psychic once told me I'd find my soulmate when I was 27. My birthday was in July.
I still feel like a kid, even though I'm supporting myself, working, and have purchased a car and a dog and rental insurance. I feel like no one really trusts me. No, I feel like I wouldn't trust me, but maybe too many people do. That's so cliche and totally not true. This is why you shouldn't trust me.
I am forgetting how to cook. I just got deja-vu. I write in short sentences. I wish more people valued my opinion. I like being asked questions, but not about the way I look. I like filling out worksheets, but I hate to file paperwork.
I wish I spoke Spanish so I could understand Telemundo. I like gummy worms and jellybeans. I enjoy browsing drug stores. I never wear matching socks. I appreciate gift cards. I fear that one day I'm going to find out I'm mentally challenged and no one had the heart to tell me. I disapprove of liars. I just recently started singing in the shower. I even more recently stopped. I hate naps. I can't wait for Chevy Chase to make a comeback.
I think unicorns are under-appreciated. I miss snow. I love Discovery Health Network programming. I could spend all day in a good antique store. I hate morning breath. I wish I could swing dance. I'm really beginning to think I have insomnia.
I have a serious crush on Geof from "Ace of Cakes."

I think I'm related to Katie.

My Interests

I love oatmeal raisin cookies. My dog can't bark, is afraid of tile floors, and sheds a lot. I have seen every episode of Saved by the Bell numerous times, including The College Years, the Miss Bliss years, Wedding in Vegas, Hawaiian Vacation, and the Malibu Sands Vacation Club Summer, but not The New Class. I am allergic to Penicillin. I drink lots of hot tea. I like avacadoes and watermelon. I hate hearing "irregardless," "broughten" or "a whole nother". I like velcro. I value a strong handshake. I also value a good milkshake. I like root beer and cherry coke (zero). I like listening to my cds from the early 90's. I'm into photography and crime scene photos. I watch forensics, Discovery Health, and Comedy Central. I have celebrity boyfriends, namely: Eddie Izzard, Jon Stewart, David Cross, and Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords. I rub my eyes a lot. I do lots of arts and crafts. I appreciate free refills on hot chocolate. I miss my friends. I can't sleep at night. I play an imaginary tambourine on my hip to bad music. Does anyone ever read these things? I love science. I hate clubs. I work in tv production. I used to put mangoes in everything I cook, but now I just get take-out. I go the gym once a month. I love chocolate milk and grilled cheese. Together. I eat Spaghettios. I hate reality shows. I'm mad that I went to Europe when I was too young to appreciate it. I procrastinate. I'm very forgetful. I have tattoos. Wings was the best show ever. I love my dog.
