I am here for Friends

About Me

I h a te questio n s like t h is . I think it w o uld be easier to have someone else write this about me, but I'll try. I like to be different, but I don't like to stand out. I'd like to think that I'm a down-to-earth person who is pretty observant, whi c h i s why you'll find me sitting quietly w a tching the show. I'm not spitefu l or vicious and would never hurt anyone. Not intentionally anyway. That brings me to my next characteristic/flaw: I am sarcastic spiked with a little cynicism. I'm mostly a serious person, but never serious when I'm making fun of you. If you can keep that straight, then the world will be a happier place. I'm not as scary as you think, you just have to "get" me. I'm pretty versatile - I like staying in and watching a movie as much as I like going out - it just depends on my mood. Inconsiderate, fake, selfish, flaky, intolerant people need not apply.
You're Totally Sarcastic
You sarcastic? Never! You're as sweet as a baby bunny.
Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue - and you aren't afraid to use it.
And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitude, then too bad. So sad. How Sarcastic Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Insightful people/people with perspective. People wise beyond their years. People who know the difference between "to" and "too." People who don't exude "the OC" (Hint: it's not just a look - it's a state of mind, too). Foreigners. Individuals. Zach Braff. Jim Morrison. Ray Manzarek. John Densmore. Robby Krieger. Billy Idol again. That guy - intelligent, hilarious, charming and pretty hot (preferably not gay). OK, that guy doesn't exist (or does he?), but those qualities (in that order) are a good start. Continuing...Chris Rock, Jon Stewart and basically anyone else who is smart, articulate, funny and able to think for themselves. Sense of humor: a plus. Close-minded: not so much.

Who I'd like NOT to meet:
People who disappoint me. Liars. Flakes. Wishy-washy flip-floppers. And people like this:

Music:


My favorite band in the whole world is the Doors

and has been since I was little, but really since I was a freshman in high school. They're the only band I can listen to at any time to set the right mood, whether it's loud, quiet or in between. I love 80s music. Love. It brings back memories from the good old days (whatever those are) and makes me feel at home, no matter where I am. I'm not a very emotional person, but sentimental I am, so I like listening to intense music that strikes a chord with me and/or holds special meaning. I listen to: Adam Ant|Al Green|Alice in Chains|The Beatles|Bebel Gilberto|Beth Orton|Billy Idol (he ranks up there with the Doors)

Billy Joel|Black Eyed Peas|Bob Marley|Boston|BM Linx|Bryan Adams|Calvin Harris|Chemical Brothers|Electronica, Industrial and anything with an infectious beat, even if it's "Toxic" by Britney Spears. Hey - we all have our guilty pleasures. The Clash|Coldplay|The Cult|The Cure|The Damned|Dance Hall Crashers|Dave Matthews Band|Dean Martin|Depeche Mode|Diana Krall|Duran Duran|The Editors|Eric Clapton|Ella Fitzgerald|Fleetwood Mac|Frank Sinatra|George Michael|Harry Connick, Jr.|Huey Lewis|Elton John|The English Beat|Enya|Goldfrapp|Green Day|Interpol|INXS|Janet Jackson|Janis Joplin|Jimi Hendrix|John Mayer|Journey|Joy Division|Justin Timberlake|Led Zeppelin|Madonna|Marilyn Manson|Mark Ronson|Marvin Gaye|Massive Attack|Michael Franti|Michael Jackson|Moody Blues|Morcheeba|Morrissey|New Order|Nikka Costa|NIN|Nirvana|No Doubt|Norah Jones|Oingo Boingo|Outkast|Paul Oakenfold|Pink Floyd|The Police|Prince|Prodigy|Queen|Radiohead|The Ramones|Rage Against the Machine|Red Hot Chili Peppers|Robbie Williams|The Rolling Stones|Sade|Scissor Sisters|Sean Paul|Sigur Ros|Siouxsie & the Banshees|The Smashing Pumpkins||The Smiths|Soundgarden|Steve Miller Band|Stevie Wonder|Sting|Stone Temple Pilots|The Talking Heads|Tears for Fears|Thievery Corporation|U2|Van Morrison|Wham!|Zero 7|311, etc.

You're Lou Reed. God, you are cool, can I touch you so the magic
will rub off? You are perceptive, witty, and badass. You wear
cool shades, even at night, and probably wear
black more than most people. You don't give a
fuck what other people think, but you are also
very sensitive in the way that you pick up on
things that others don't. Sometimes you come
off as an asshole, but that's what makes you
cool. You are a poet, and you embody New York
City. You will still be hip when you are old,
and artists love you.

Which Sex and the City Player Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty
You are Miranda. Men tend to be intimidated by you
because you're so intelligent and you most
probably earn more than they can even dream of.
You're quite a private person and don't like
anybody interfering in your business. You're
the one with her head screwed on and you offer
brilliant advice. You sometimes find
compromise difficult.

You Are Most Like Miranda!

While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first
Guys are a distant third to your friends and career.
And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses.
Remember that if you imagine the best outcome, it might just happen.
Romantic prediction: Someone from your past is waiting to reconnect...
But you'll have to think of him differently, if you want things to work.
