I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

Former English major with love of fine lager brews, moderately priced dining, and ill-conceived, inappropriate romances. I have an uncanny knack for telling drawn-out, incredible detailed accounts of the minutiae of my banal life. I combine a very liberal, feminist worldview with a love of misogynistic rap music. If a magical genie granted my deepest wish, I'd go back in time to 1992 and be a Fly Girl on In Living Color.

My Interests

Short walks in landlocked areas, pointless rumination, chugging coffee at all hours, observing proper hand-washing technique, shaking my money-maker for free, eliminating "slips, trips, and falls" in the workplace, exploring hypochondria, passive-aggression/codependency, sexual healing.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a pulse. On second thought, I'm optional on that. To quote Chasing Amy, "I've had sex with people I've downright loathed."

Music:

Is this really necessary? Oh, wait, above and beyond all else, Prince. He is my God. My friends talked me out of building an alter to him.

Movies:

All That Jazz, Annie Hall, Ghost World, Purple Rain, and always, anytime it is on TV, no matter what I am doing, Silence of the Lambs.

Television:

American Idol/So You Think You Can Dance?, anything on Discovery Channel, Law and Order SVU, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, anything on Comedy Central, Lucky Louie.

Books:

Magical Thinking, anything by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester (AKA "The Libertine"), Dante's Inferno, anything by David Sedaris, anything by Anais Nin, other people's blogs.

Heroes:

Ludacris, Samuel Pepys, the guy who gives out free lighters at Hickey's, Elliot Stabler, Harriet the Spy, the Cat in the Hat, your mom.
