About Me

I'm a lover of group hangs. I hate it when people say "this crazy merry-go-round called life" but i REALLY hate it when people say "oh snap". I have an unhealthy obsession with socks. I try to sleep with my cat every night, but he doesn't feel the same. I like it when people are genuinely happy to see me. Like Christy Fantz, she is always happy to see me. She also says "make-out" at the end of almost every sentence. I love that! I like playing practical jokes on people. I don't really like eggs. I like watching the food network on Sunday morning. I love hugging men who are wearing hoodies. Family dinner is very important to me. I won 3rd place at the West River Regional Science Fair in 8th grade. Go ahead, just try and top that! Above all, I just enjoy being silly. and I like it when you're silly too, whoever you are.

My Interests

I mostly enjoy a social evening with friends, adult beverages, and live music. Although, yard-work is oddly high on the list as well. ***there has been an update - yard work is no longer high on my list.***

I'd like to meet:

you. duh.

Music:

All we need is music, sweet music. I like pretty much everything. I know everyone says that, but it's really true. Let me touch of a few: Tom Waits, Her Space Holiday, Damien Rice, Bloc Party, G Love, The Roots, Galactic, Soulive, Calexico, Os Mutantes, Better Than Ezra, Tenacious D, The Stills, Rufus Wainwright, RJD2, Bonobo, Pete Yorn, Kings of Convenience, Nellie McKay, Roisin Murphy, Jason Maraz, Jamiroquai, Jamie Cullum, Kurt Elling, Erykah Badu, Citizen Cope, Charlie Hunter, Mos Def, Carla Bruni, Buena Vista Social Club, Athlete, Amos Lee, Har Mar Superstar, Jehro

Movies:

A couple Favs: Grosse Point Blank, Best in Show (along with the other C.G. movies), Nappy D (Napoleon Dynamite), Punch Drunk Love, Office Space, Garden State. and yes, I really do love Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
