About Me

Hi.. I'm Holly. I count myself very lucky. I live in beautiful Okinawa, I love my job and even enjoy going to work at least half of the work week. I have terrific friends and family. I can't remember being happier. I am who I want to be. When I look at my life I don't feel like I should be allowed to complain with all opportunities and the happiness I am blessed with. I'm super sarcastic. I like to try anything new even if I have heard it is horrible. I'm smart but I like people to think I am an idiot. I am too friendly and it gets me into trouble because I have a hard time being mean to people. I have an overactive imagination that kicks into high gear when I am bored. (for example...if I'm sitting around and notice an unexplained pain in my leg I will decide that it must be a blood clog that will soon free itself and begin travelling towards my heart or brain causing a heart attack or stroke. Now I'm not being a hypochandriac or pessimistic or overly paranoid which people always assume. Seriously, if I thought I was going to have a stroke don't you think I would get up and go to the doctor instead of continuing to sit there and changing the subject?) I like giving blood and volunteering. I really enjoy helping people in any capcity I can. People are my weakness. I love them and I hate them. There is no person that I hold any ill feelings towards or that I wish anything less than they deserve. I am fiercely loyal and don't belive in lying (unless it is a really bizarre lie that is so obviously a lie that it is funny. Like if you were to see a little hut/rock structure and you tell someone elves live in there. For some reason people always believe me though). Anything mean I have to say to you will be said to your face. If we are or ever have been friends you can bet I would do anything for you. Everyone holds a place in my heart even if they have given me great reason to kick them out. We are all fuck ups and no one has lived their life perfectly. When you can take full responsibiliy for who you have become and where you have lead your life, it becomes very easy to sleep at night and a great way to start turning wrongs to right. This makes me sound all peppy and cheery. I can be but I am usually real calm and only get all excited about little weird things like hot coffee cans in the morning or 5 dollars crappy movies at the Shoppette...

My Interests

Running (who knew? I always thought running was so unnatural and wondered why anyone would do it unless they were running away from something. Running is very addictive and fun. If you are a runner you know what I mean). I love walking around with my headphones on dancing and singing aloud when I am pretty sure no one can hear me. Reading. I am a total nerd.People watching (malls are good for that) Riding my scooter (not even an option now) Going to good thrift stores and trying to figure out what the strange junk in housewares is supposed to do, Dancing, Inventing things and not patenting them, Finding new ways to make an ass out of myself, Sock sliding, working out, Music (evidently I don't like music without a beat) and of course hating performance art - with a passion! Snorkeling and hiking

I'd like to meet:

People that make me laugh. People that can laugh at themselves and everyone else. People that would rather walk than take the car and not just for the exercise. I don't like when people send me short little emails that really have no reply. So I have to sit around and think about how I am going to reply to "You look fun." That is a statement, not an email. Please don't do this. I don't IM. I just can't do it. I've tried. It's just not something I can focus on. It feels too much like homework to me. And I will do pretty much anything to avoid doing homework. You can always tell when school is in and I have a test coming up because you might find me up a tree with ten layers of clothes on or my myspace profile gets changed alot.

Music:

Piano does it for me. You could put piano music into any genre and more than likely I will like that song. I don't like mad whiny gripey music...get over it. Life's not that bad But, I do like pop happy songs that can be cranked out by the thousands with little or no thought behind them at all. So not like i'm an expert. Sublime, Jack Johnson, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, They Might Be Giants, Presidents, Bare Naked Ladies, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Trapt, Save Ferris, Linkin Park, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Bouncing Souls, Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies, Van Morrison, Cab Calloway, Sara Evans, Johnny Lee Hooker, Nora Jones, The Smiths, Tool, Blue October, Steve Burns, Bloodhound Gang and Many Many More that would just take all day to write and really.... Do you care that much?

Movies:

So I Married an Axe Murderer, Idiocracy, Perfume, Grizzly Man, The Simpsons Movie, Kung Fu Hustle, Heartbreakers, The Tenth Kingdom, The Legend of 1900, Talladega Nights, The Big Lebowski

Television:

I don't get a lot of TV over here. I would only stay in to watch The Simpsons, The Colbert Report and sometimes Seinfeld. If it is lunchtime at work we at get quiet and watch Judge Judy like it's cool. I love the AFN commercials. It is going to be a sad day when I leave this place and no longer have constant reminders of vital imformation. How will I know not to shake babies or that leaving my car running with the keys in it might result in theft? How will I know not to go into the ocean during a typhoon or that if I play with the fire extinguishers that they might not be as useful when a real fire happens? Do I need to slow down in areas where children are playing and is my family communitcating well enough?

Books:

Alice in Wonderland is the best book ever hands down. Nonsense is an art form. It teeters on a thin line between stupidity and absurdity and yet is neither. CS Lewis is good. I like Til We Have Faces. I am nerdy and love reading. I just haven't had much time lately.

Heroes:

People that keep their promises. People that take responsibility for their actions. People with integrity. People with morals. Loyal people. People that will always try to do the right thing even when it seems too hard or impossible to do. Those are the people that make the world a better place.
