Let's eat someplace else. I don't want to have to pay $10 for half a churro.

About Me

I mull too much. I nap too much. I spend too much money on things I later decide I no longer want. I love shopping for food and office supplies. And I like staying up late. And sleeping in late. And sleeping some more.

My Interests

Napping, cooking, eating, watching my small DVD collection, worrying about money, making shopping lists, window shopping, buying things, finding new music, burning CDs for friends and acquaintances, reading new books by people I've never heard of before, learning new things all the time, making money, subscribing to magazines, browsing at the bookstore, haunting the thrift store, finding new Web sites to help me while away my time, pondering my old furniture and how to replace it or make it look better, reorganizing my entire apartment, watching "Family Guy," holding random parties with strange mixes of people for no specific reason, sinking myself into deep depression, googling people I haven't spoken to in years, reordering my Netflix queue, sending e-mails to people I haven't talked to in years, writing, procrastinating writing, drinking wine, reading my old diaries.

I'd like to meet:
