About Me

* I am a dreamer. My head is always dans le nuages.
* My favorite thing to do is nothing.
* Correct grammar/spelling/punctuation usage makes me happy.
* I am most content when listening to music or making my own.
* I hate surprises of any kind (mostly half-surprises).
* I am a bookworm. I absorb my thoughts in fictional worlds because it is easier than dealing with the same thoughts in my actual world.
* I have a very low, if not non-existant, tolerance for stupid people.
* Coffee, music and books are my three favorite inanimate objects.
* I love beer.
* A good kisser, to me, is not only hard to find, but something to be cherished.
* I am a quirkyalone, and damn proud of it.
"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
-Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City
