About Me

I want to do everything. As of October 11th, I'll be a licensed bartender. Soon after, I'll probably be a licensed stenographer and then possibly a licensed massage therapist. Then, after that, I may even learn to drive. Meanwhile, I'm continuing to try to finish a novel and learn about more bands you've never heard of and come up with a million other ways to make it in the world. I'm running for president in 2016. I stay up until 1:30 in the morning practically every day talking on AIM (bologna36) when I know if I just went to bed earlier I wouldn't be so damn tired all the time and I might get something done. On the other hand, I wouldn't get to watch Conan. Oh, and when I drink enough tequila, I am amazing. I'm so amazing, in fact, my friends call me Captain Amazing. The rest of the time I'm just awesome. Also, I carry a towel around in my backpack everywhere I go in a tribute to Douglas Adams and find uses for it everywhere.

My Interests

writing, movies, music, photography, more music, dancing

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can hold a conversation. That's very important. Because I talk a lot, but I don't want to be the only one talking. There has to be dialogue, not monologue. My biggest pet peeves are being told what to do, being interrupted, and being touched by random dirty people on the street. Not that someone I meet is going to have a lot to do with dirty people on the street, unless they're one of them, but I just thought I'd mention that. It's important that, if you talk to me online, you can spell and use punctuation. Otherwise, translating will become too much work for me and I'll give up on you and watch TV instead. Also, someone with a good sense of humor, because I'm joking around constantly and if I don't get a good hearty response every single time, it'll simply prove to me that my life is a total failure and I'll have to go throw myself off the Zakim bridge. Or failing that, eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream in half an hour. Either way, it won't be a pretty sight.
