Is this where I write something witty and slutty?

About Me

-I don't much like cookie-cutter molds, so I myself am a bit of an extranjero! As you can tell, I also speak numerous languages. (and right then, I just signed to you that I know ASL). I tend to be sarcastic, quippy, odd, funny, non-conforming, and easy-going. A night at home or a night on the town both have equal appeal. I have an obsession with shoes and clothes. Brown shoes and a black belt worn together is sinful. I can get along with most anyone and promise not to bite. -I'll try anything twice, just to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke. For instance, I could move to DC again and make sure it was as fun as I remember it. -I can be really stupid and dang if I don't come out with some zingers. Try me! -I enjoy family time as well as time with my friends. I still even ask my parents advice/permission for things. It subconsciously wards off the potential for botox. -After holding Liza with a Z's hand and getting a little chuckle out of her, she called me "Angel!" I think Liza hit the nail on the head with that petname. -I was on the People's Court with Judge Marilyn Milian and was kicked off of the Today Show. -When I met my idol, Ms. Dolly Parton, I held her hand, professed my undying love for her, and maybe convinced her to let me fill in for Judy while she's busy having her mullet trimmed. It could happen! -I have taken on a quest to find a new city to live in. Some options are: Vancouver, Sydney, Montreal, Shanghai, Zurich, London. Suggestions are welcomed! I like to travel and am always looking for new friends to experience some turbulence with. Perhaps I'll buy a Big Boat and sail the 7 Seas! -My new favorite drink is no longer Cherry Vodka and Diet Cola. I am drinking Red Wines like they are going out of style. It's tons of fun if you have some cheese with that wine. -I speak sign language/ASL and am always looking for new people to do ASL Karaoke with. -I am a bit obsessive about the proper usage of to, too, and two; they're, their, and there; you're and your; etc. I have taken on a new quest to also eradicate the use of "irregardless" as well as the inane spelling of definitely as follows: definately. Where did that A come from? -My favorite number is 999! -I overuse ellipses...and exclamation points!! -Hen says, "Johnny is a Pisces who enjoys candle light dinners and long walks on the beach!" -I am a kidder, a tiger, and some say a turkey. As for me, I think I'm just John Paul! Hope you can help!

My Interests

Alphabetization, ASL, Australia, Bad Karaoke, Ballet, Beaches, Bikram Yoga, Boobies, Capers, Dancing, Dolly Parton, Drinking, Eccentric Foods, Exercise (all in moderation, my dear), Flip Flops, Grammar, Happy Hour, Languages, Liza Minnelli, Math, Mike and Ike's, Musters, Pinot Noir, Roadtrips, Sammiches, Sex cones, Sushi, Tanning, Tap, Theatre, Traveling, Vibrators and other toys, White Tigers, Wild Wings Jueves La Croix, Wine, 10:36

I'd like to meet:

I think that Dolly Parton is a paragon of talent and beauty, Carol Channing should STILL be playing the role of Dolly, and Liza Minnelli gets too much slack for the smack...wouldn't you do the same if you kept marrying gay men?! People who wet someone else's bed and immediately leave, hoping the dog gets the blame. If you are "pulang," can name all seven dwarves, and have a keen eye for ruby slippers, be sure that we become BFFs. I am also looking for someone who speaks a mean Spanglish. I like to play with Boobies so if you're a girl and have great tats, like Shana and Kat, then we can be friends. If you are a drunk, can laugh at yourself, me, or at those around us, I am sure we'll get along just fine. I am very easy-going and would even say Hi back to you! I'd also have liked to have met Mother Theresa and Abe Lincoln. I think they're pretty fascinating. And anyone who names their kids Wai Ki Ki or Licky Licky, I want to meet them too.

Part 1: Stories from the Subway

I have always been fairly intuitive to what's going on around me, but as with all good souls, at times I have no clue what's a-happenin'. Tonite was no different. As I stood outside the C/E train th...

The Notebook

My recommendation is to NOT watch The Notebook, read The Kite Runner, and have an emotional phone call all on the same day. Do I suggest watching The Notebook? Hells yeah! Would I lend you my copy of ...

Stress, stress, and then a bit more stressing! I will be in NYC this weekend and I just am nervous as all get out. I suppose that's what I get for switching careers yet once again! Alas! So, what ...

A cranial conundrum!

I have been working too hard today and I am just ready to relax, look at some Hot Bodies, and have a "diet cola!" Plus, I am going to see Into the Woods, one of my favorite shows.
