About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I am extremely intuitive, in fact I know what you are thinking right now. And empathetic. I can feel what other people feel, and sometimes it is a pain in the ass. But only when their ass hurts. I would give anything for (some of) my friends and family, for their comfort and happiness. There is a five year old I would give my life for. I have a friend I can tell the truth to, and that is better than anything. I am working on telling the truth to everybody, but it is difficult. I am a smart ass, but that just covers up extreme sensitivity. I am equally annoyed and awed by people who don't think before they speak. I will pick apart your writing, then wonder how to spell separate. I stop for every stray dog I see on the street. If your dog is not on a leash, I will tell you it should be. If you come out of the bathroom with toilet paper on your shoe, I probably won't tell you it's there. I am the least photogenic attractive person I know (see photos). I know funny when it hits me on the head. I believe everyone is both straight and gay, to varying degrees. I am terrified about 32% of the time, down from a year ago.THINGS I DON'T LIKE SO MUCH: superficial friends, people who talk about money, people who pretend they aren't talented when they know they are, staring into the sun, people who judge me for drinking or swearing or loving pit bulls THINGS THAT REALLY PISS ME OFF: Anyone who thinks that they have the right to tell me what to do with my body. People who think that the existence of a zygote is more important than the life of a girl or woman. People who think that love has exclusively to do with heterosexuality. People who put a tax cut above the good of their country and the well-being of it's citizens. People who believe that some of those citizens should be more valued than others. People who say things like "girls don't do that" to children. And I hate people that won't tell me when I have something stuck in my teeth.Also, I love donuts, and anything with the word "gummy" in it, unless it's shaped like a worm. FUN FACT 1: On 8/28/05 I tried sushi for the first time and loved it! FUN FACT 2: Yesterday I saw two mattresses fly off the back of a truck; they looked like feathers floating through the air. FUN FACT 3: Today (10/12/05) was day 10 of grad school, and the first day I felt like quitting. FUN FACT 4: I am a brilliant choreographer. FUN FACT 5: I am overdue for a fun fact 5, but can't think of anything. FUN FACT 6: my cat sucks on my head like she is trying to make milk come out. So far, nothing. FUN FACT 7: Maya is sucking on someone else's head now. My head is sad. FUN FACT 8: I love this picture:
FUN FACT 9: I am a little bit obsessed with LonelyGirl15. FUN FACT 10: I think that rosemary is the most overused spice. FUN FACT 11: myspace is the only place I lie about my age. FUN FACT 12: cilantro is a close 2nd. and fennel makes me barf.(no, seriously, I'm allergic to it) FUN FACT 13: I just found out that fistfight is one word, not two.

My Interests

In no particular order: movies, music, couscous, animals, watching my dog catch flies, farting under the covers, books, sex, coffee, popcorn, the smell of books, sex, coffee and popcorn, dance, walking barefoot on a wood floor, beer, Dewars, climbing trees, hiking, being alone, well constructed dances and sentences, art, rain, pit bulls, strong handshakes, breathing, having a pulse, not jamming spikes under my fingernails, making tiny animals out of clay, talking to myself, gardening, organizing my closet, singing, being alone, oatmeal, necks, folding laundry, the burn you get in your ass when you walk up a really steep hill, writing songs, hearing Bob Odenkirk yell "GodDammit!"
