About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorXANGA!
AIM= fuzzychameleon
i'm working as an english assistant in bordeaux, france for the year. .

i LOVE coffee
I have been happy, tho' in a dream.
I have been happy- and I love the theme:
Dreams! in their vivid coloring of life,
As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife
Of semblance with reality, which brings
To the delirious eye, more lovely things
Of Paradise and Love- and all our own!
Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known.
"Dreams" by Edgar Allan Poe
free hugs!

My Interests

I LIKE: music, movies, saying "meh," coffee, reading, haging out with friends, staying up til dawn, stargazing, sleeping in, men with facial hair , cartoons, sarcasm, chillin', midnight chats that include time travel, the theories of quantum physics and robots, the history channel, sushi, edgar allen poe, salvador dali, m.c. escher, art, singing.
I DON'T LIKE: stupid people, pessimists, mayonaise, people who use self-pity as an excuse, getting gum stuck to my shoe, being stuck behind a slow driver, when it's rediculously hot outside, being broke

I'd like to meet:

you.
