I am here for Friends

About Me

i like (in no particular order): buttons, farmers markets, doing the dishes, autumn, gnocchi, missed connections, windy days, bicycles, post-its, the container store, toast, old friends, new friends, riding the subway, wombats, museums, sparkles, star gazing, all kinds of adhesive, cheesy hip hop, skinny boys in tight clothes, drug stores, permanent markers, sprinkles, binder paper, magazines, t-shirt crafts, very skinny crescent moons, soap, tortilla soup, craft store binges, radiolab, fireworks, organic chemistry, nerdy pick-up lines, cough drops, exfoliating, school, sneezing, blowing bubbles, barbeques, picking scabs, nature shows, orange soda, fireflies, long drives, candy stores, thunderstorms, garage sales, tide pools, wildflowers, organic farms, rain, foreign cinema, old pictures, yarn shops, sushi, dragons and dinosaurs, used bookstores, rhinestones, very small dogs, snow, counting change, paisley, stationery stores.
i dislike: traffic, sunburns, ignorant pigs who carry around signs with pictures of bloody aborted fetuses, avocados, republicans, chinese food, a bumper sticker that says "you can't be both pro-choice and catholic," horror movies, bank statements, mass emails, raisins, the sound of cardboard on cardboard, flying, materialism, breaking in new shoes, books you can buy at the grocery store, mayo, astroturf, germs, tissues that have lotion embedded in them, baby products, old sponges, holes in socks, reality tv, worms, lab goggles, snails, slugs, fungus.

My Interests

Cooking, crafting, entertaining, yoga, the gym, being pretentiously intellectual, giving people things, porn, travelling, wombats. . . you know, the usual.

I'd like to meet:

I'll tell you who I wouldn't like to meet: people I don't know in real life. I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but I really don't do myspace to make friends. If I don't have some sort of history with you (even a brief, torrid one), please don't try to be friends with me. Exceptions may be made if you're my absolute other half, and we have just sooo much in common that you can't even stand it. Then maybe I'll consider it. But I'm not interested in flirting or schmoozing or the like. Sorry . . . best of luck meeting real people.

Music:

a few of my all-time favorite songs: joni mitchell- 'a case of you;' atmosphere- 'get fly;' air- 'run;' cat stevens- 'the wind;' mates of state- 'goods (all in your head);' iron and wine- 'jezebel;' the weepies- 'take it from me;' stevie wonder- 'overjoyed;' billy joel- 'the longest time;' mercedes sosa- 'gracias a la vida;' death cab for cutie- 'a lack of color;' pinback- 'penelope.'

Movies:

Garden State, Pretty Persuasion, Inside Man, Singing in the Rain, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Spellbound, The Emperor's New Groove, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Napoleon Dynamite, Ferris Beuler's Day Off, Clueless, Amelie

Television:
