AUDREY

About Me: I have red hair. I have never understood why people ask me if I hated my hair when I was younger. Was I supposed to have hated myself at one point? I never have. I am deaf in one ear from an airplane and find myself saying the word "what?" alot. I apologize for that. I am the oldest of five children and had never been alone in my house until I was eighteen. For this reason I loathe babysitting because the noises scare me. Most people think its because I hate children; they are wrong. I am from a yuppy town in Connecticut and will not apologize for it. I once stood in line for twelve hours on the coldest day of the year to see a Broadway play. When I finally took my seat I had a fever and couldn't feel my toes but the show still made me cry. I love sad songs. I love sad movies. I think people who have never been to New York can't really understand this country. I think people who have been to New York but say it "moves too fast for them" or that "it's dirty" are not to be trusted. My exes are some of my closest friends. I have had the same best friend for years. I get sad when she calls me from the east coast and is eating dinner with my sister. But it makes me smile. I have come to the conclusion that my parents had the perfect relationship. I hope to someday find someone as wonderful as my dad and to be as beautiful as my mom. I love Christmas. I love the smell of men. I have a bad habit of judging people. I have a bad habit of thinking that people are The One. I think it is sad that so many people have talked themself out of being able to be happy with one person. When I had to move out of my childhood house I ran away with my dog for the entire day. It felt brave in the moment. I talk to angels. When I find a good kisser I treasure the time before bed so I can think about the kiss. I love people who are dark, tragic, intense and confusing but at the same time manage to be kind, honest, sincere and wonderful. There are many of these people out there. It just takes the right eye and some patience to get past their baggage. I have baggage.
