Aimee

My foot's in my stirrup

About Me

I choose: left over right. air hockey over foos ball. odds over evens. a chance over a sure thing. heels over sandals. italian over chinese. procrastination over punctuality. fringe over center stage. a long walk over a short jog. debating the point over easily agreeing. red over white. sarcasm over slapstick. soup over salad.

My Interests

Books, putzing in the kitchen, films, canoes, bowling, bawdy jokes, rock-n-roll, big words, baseball, lazy Sunday afternoons, snowball fights, scheming, sleuthing, restaurant reviews, making dinner, libraries, wine tastings, painting rooms, thinking about going on hikes, planning vacations I can't afford to take, pastries.

I'd like to meet:

You.
