April

happy makes me a modern girl.

About Me

I enjoy clever banter and extremely sarcastic people. I'm into laughing a lot. I think more people should dance at shows. I think hypocrisy is LAME. I love silliness and dorky people. I can't cook and I don't feel bad about that. I like balding men. I do not like bananas or banana scents or banana flavored things. I love people who are quiet but hilarious when they do open their mouths. I like to talk about design. I love originality and hate imitation. I love redundancy. I think I am indecisive sometimes. I disguise my optimism with cynicism because cynicism is more amusing.

My Interests

my interests include but are not limited to: design, art, music, film, literature, laughing, dancing, witty puns, clever people, sarcasm, pancakes at mom + pop diners, sunshine + rainbows, knitting, silliness, green grass, weather, martinis, good beer.
