About Me

Dislikes: indecisiveness to the point of immobility; when syrup from pancakes mixes with my scrambled eggs; missing previews before a movie; when people act (unrightfully) entitled.
Likes... cold milk; listening to music in the car and singing along; reading books; peeling clementines so that the peel comes off in one piece; dancing my heart out; corn popped on the stove, sprinkled with brewer's yeast and salt; watching showers of autumn leaves; flirting, foot rubs; fresh hot laundry; stump town coffee with real cream; kissing in the rain; sitting in my comfy, sofa-rocking-chair; rereading old letters; playing games (por ejemplo, scrabble, chess, cranium, pictionary, taboo, dominoes, spades); hunting for the perfect present for loved ones; traveling; saving money for a rainy day; talking to david before we fall asleep; hugging; snuggling; kissing; holding hands; laughing with my sisters; telling my parents that i love them; being near the ocean (a lake will suffice); hot buttered toast with blackberry preserves; taking pictures in old photo booths; watching movies; babies; wrapping presents; the smell of baking bread; talking to strangers; planning parties; learning new words; excel spreadsheets; listening to *this american life* on npr....

My Interests

But if I tell you how my heart swings wide / enough to motivate flirtations with the trees / or how the happiness of passion freaks inside / me, will you then believe the faithful, yearning freeze / on random, fast explosions that I place / upon my lust? Or must I say the streets are bare / unless it is your door I face / unless they are your eyes that, rare / as tulips on a cold night, trick my mind / to oranges and yellow flames around a seed / as deep as anyone may find / in magic? What do you need? / I'll give you that, I hope, and more / But don't you be the one to choose me: poor.
