Are you there God? It's me, Ali.

I am here for Friends

About Me

Don't ask me to friend you on Myspace if you don't know who I am and I don't know who you are; I am not a friend whore. C'mon people, let's strive for quality, not quantity here.*******Though I know exactly who I am, I'm not easily summarized. Proceed at your own risk.*******I'm Ali. I'm a student at Keene State College majoring in English and minoring in Writing and Holocaust Studies. I play rugby. This means that on some weekends I roll around in mud and tackle other girls (update: was injured in rugby game...can't tackle until I have surgery...that won't stop me from rolling around in mud with my friends, however).*******In winter I like to roll in the snow after taking a hot shower, for lack of a sauna. I also love to ski and take snowy walks in the woods at night, preferably with company. Camping makes me happy. I'm silly and laugh about everything but am simultaneously an 'old soul' and 'too mature for my age.' I ride my bike everywhere.*******I'm a dork. I play brain games (brain games, like Sudoku and Scrabble, not mind games. That's what mean girls do). If you can't spell, I will probably not be able to tolerate talking to you via IM. This is a side effect of being an English major. I hug everyone...well, almost.*******When people lie, I want to hit them with a shovel.*******I'm chubby. I'm built like a Finnish peasant girl, which is what I would have been had I lived a few hundred years ago. Big hips, ass, chest, and a strong set of legs. If you're male and you can't deal, too bad for you. You're missing out hard core.*******I always part my hair to the side...always.*******I'm mostly conservative, but I love every single one of my gay friends (and I have many) and I like to think I'm environmentally aware. I read all the time, and I think guys who wear glasses are sexy. Especially if they are tall. On weekends I listen to bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse and the Silversun Pickups in my car while I'm searching for antique shops. When out and about, I can usually be spotted wearing some sort of hooded zip-up sweatshirt (blue or black) and a pair of jeans. I don't know what color my eyes are.*******Everybody tells me I look like a 'good girl'...they're usually surprised when they find out I'm not. I'm a good person, yes, but on occasion I swear like a sailor and I find some very unlady-like things to be frickin hilarious. I don't think it's possible to be innocent and enlightened simultaneously.*******I take my digital camera everywhere and photograph everything. I grew up in a small town and always intend to live in one, but I love love love to travel. I like swimming in naturally occurring bodies of water, especially when most people in their right minds are pretty sure it is waaaaay too cold to be swimming out of doors.*******I hate drama. Really. Hate it.*******I am very random (I know, you must be shocked!).*******Basically, I'm pretty nifty. If you like niftiness (and words like 'nifty'), you will like me. I hope.*******If you're interested in any more specifics, IM me: MayDayAli86. Do it. I dare you. Which is ironic, because I tend to be the antithesis of daring.
