Joy

Be kind to me, or treat me mean. I'll make the most of it; I'm an extraordinary machine.

About Me

When I was bored in 1st grade I used to match up my classmates as couples in my mind.

My Interests

I have the best friends in the world, staying passionate for products and my job, my new house and making it cuter while still avoiding gardening of any kind (this includes potted or hanging plants), singing and acting, jazz/hip hop/swing/salsa/freestylin' dance, writing, living out of my suitcase, keeping a sense of self, snorkeling/sailing (and daydreaming of the ocean), unjust wars, dogs dressed up in antlers/sweaters/bandannas, 60's-90's girl bands, trying to get around to watching my netflix from 5 months ago, underdogs, talking to my cats in falsetto, kitties sitting by my head or feet, watching people evolve, sentimentality, sitting in my car while watching people and thinking in parking lots.

I'd like to meet:

Inspirations....

I don't know if it's the idea of fall approaching, but this week I find myself going back to what initially got me interested in cosmetics in 1987. There's a certain vibe for Autumn that is someh...

lemme rustle your feathers

There are pervy birds that hang out by my new house. They do the little construction worker whistle (well, construction workers in commercials anyhow...). None of that "CAW! CAW!" business for these ...

Coming to America

Has anyone else ever mistaken a Hyundai for a Honda? Say the brand names quickly and glimpse the logo and it's a wonder how Hyundai ever got the legal rights to either one. Yesterday I realized that i...

And our hearts, they beat as one. No more love on the run.

To continue...Jen and I were already tiring of attempting to find a decent restaurant a couple of times a day and wanted to get groceries to make in our very own kitchen. The first grocery store we we...

Caribbean Queen, now we're sharing the same dream

 Arrived in St. Maarten. Rented a car. Not a hatchback, like most on the lot, thought I was getting a better car. Was not a better car. Brakes didn't work, smelled like a cabdriver and was sticky...

All apologies

Last night I saw the largest cockroach that has ever walked God's green earth crawling on my living room wall. First Seymour spotted it, intently staring up towards the ceiling. At first I thought it ...

Lily Allen

Have you seen any live footage of her? She's ALWAYS smoking onstage. WTF? All she does is stand there and smoke.

What was I wearing?

Today I was thinking about how I always seem to be wearing something ridiculous on days that I remember for something spontaneous (good or bad) happening. And what's more, I will always think of what ...

Fire, Fire, Fire!

I've been in Chicago now for a few days and I think I know why this city burnt down a long, long time ago. People wanted to put an end to the constant firetrucks cruising by their residences. It's a l...
