About Me


"A feeling of exultation overtook her, as if some power of significant import had been given her to control the working of her body and her soul. She grew daring and reckless, overestimating her strength. She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before."
The Awakening, K. Chopin
I like writing fiction *laughing *full-body music experiences *dancing *independent films *sci-fi, action, and horror *stickshifts *swimming *boots *eyeliner *carbohydrates *reading *earth science *late-nite diners *a good mix of time alone and time spent with friends
I am an overthinker *independent *imaginative *sarcastic *passionate about things that I love *liberal *overwhelming *nervous at times *amused by the little things *softer than it seems *clumsy *intuitive but suspicious of it *observant about people, but not about things *an open book *looking for something *engaged to a very hot and fantastic man
I dislike lack of accountability *teeth on a fork *crumbs *inhibitions *inability to apologize *most reality tv *mustard *negative intentions poorly disguised *snakes *stumbling out of bed before 9am *puns
I'm one-half of an odd couple that makes no sense on paper, but every kind of sense that matters.

My Interests

returning videotapes, national marrow donor program, fanfiction, music, good conversation, honesty, intense expressions of passion, analyzing the hell out of myself and others, dreams, organizing things to create the illusion of sanity, my family, being an aunt

I'd like to meet:

Conversationalists and coffee drinkers, composers of randomly entertaining blogs and emails, fiction writers, internet junkies, movie lovers, sci-fi enthusiasts. People who are easily entertained, don't mind sarcastic humor, and aren't afraid of opinions. People who laugh, because life's hilarious even when it sucks. The empathetic few.

Also, kindness is a plus, so if you're a complete jackass, let's skip it. :)
