Jane

Now more than ever.

About Me

In the endless debate of pie vs. cake, I'm going to have to go with pie, but I can't eat either one of them because I'm allergic to wheat. When I was little I was crazy about football, but now I'm crazy about boxing. My friends are either in 12-step programs or comedians or both. I love peaches. That's not my dog in the picture. I think the worst song ever written is "Ebony and Ivory." Juan Manuel Marquez is my favorite fighter. I identify with the sloth. I have a terrible memory for faces, and I can't remember names either, so if we've ever met, you're just going to have to bear with me.

My Interests

Psychology, the brain, boxing, words, painting.

I'd like to meet:

People who are smart, honest, self-aware. People who are kind. People who are sweet.
