DYSLEXICS UNTIE!!

About Me


I have 37 pieces of flair, I make a mean mixed cd, & I'm a rockstar when no one is looking. I have a vivid imagination but I almost never remember my dreams.
I'm animated...if you tie my hands behind my back, I can't talk.
I can't live without parenthesis (my parenthetical voice interrupts constantly).
Quintessential Gemini--curious, fun, kind to everyone (both of us)...but I (we) have a super-short attention span & my decision-making skills are grossly remedial...drives me crazy. I love options...just not narrowing them down.
I'm easily entertained, I'm a late-night snacker, I collect Snapple lids, & I'm pretty sure I don't snore.
I fidget. A lot.
I love dumb jokes & people that laugh at mine. I like all types of movies... ...almost (Freddy vs Jason...couldn't wait to miss that one) but I can't tolerate bad acting & bad writing.
I am the Queen of Condiments.
I like acronyms, neologisms, & mistiisms. I like abbreviating, over-punctuating, truncating, & hyphenating.
I like lots of colors. I like the absence of color. I like making stuff out of other stuff...& I'm the most motivated when the stuff I'm making is for other people.
I like gadgets, thrift stores, red wine, real people, people who have their own signature body language, all 4 seasons, late nights, carbs, killer grooves, brilliantly absurd lyrics, pizza by the truckloads, beer, blue jeans, dive bars, cartoons, bowling although I suck, & the word 'neat'. I'm currently working on bringing the phrase "out of sight" back into style. It's gonna be big.
I had 2 identical fish...named 'em both Darryl.
I'm really not into "maintenance", which explains why all the fish I now have in my tank are plastic (SOOO much easier to keep clean!)....also explains why my fingernails are a trainwreck, I cut my own hair b/c I can't be bothered with making hair appointments, & I gave up on buying houseplants a long time ago...brown thumb. UPDATE: turns out my thumb ain't so brown afterall. You should see my sweet little garden I created in my backyard all by myself. I'm very proud.
I am, however, into "quote fingers".
I'm a MUSIC FIEND ....I often fall asleep in my car listening to it....one contributing factor to the battery I just had to replace. I love rock shows, especially when I manage to get right up front.
I'm EXTREMELY right brained....creative yet scattered, engaging yet easily distracted--my train of thought is constantly getting de-railed. (sigh)
I leave ridiculously long answering machine messages. Can't help it. It's a disease. My friends think I should seek treatment. I often trail off mid-sentence. Sometimes I...

My Interests

I like to carry on. Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I wander. I like people watching, shiny objects, things, stuff, music, rockshows, gardening, stand-up comedy, home projects, making jewelry, taking pictures, filling out online profiles, quoting movie lines, kissing w/ PopRocks, laughing, laughing, laughing, design, making stuff, Photoshop, games and word puzzles, wine tastings, good food, cold leftovers, new places, old places, comedy, super cold beer, going out, staying in, other stuff....

I'd like to meet:

People who get carried away & write freakishly long online profiles........

Guys who don't wear shades indoors or crooked visors or post pictures of themselves flexing in a mirror without a shirt on.....people whose list of 'Friends' doesn't look like the cast from 'Romancing the Bone'....people who don't trick out their profile page w/ every gadget, soundbite, & animated gif they can get their hands on....people who don't request to be added as my friend without even so much as introducing themselves...................
Science droppers, joke tellers & laugher-atters, Golden Rule abider-byers.......people like that singing janitor in my building, & people who know the difference between there, their, & they're...............people who like to use a lot of periods..................
People who don't mind that my speech is often a jumbled bi-product of the traffic jam in my mind..............people who have their own identity, their own musical interests, and their own brand of humor (as long as I think they're funny--just kidding).............

I'd like to meet a cute & sweet Christian boy with good taste in music, a great sense of humor, & who doesn't take himself too seriously. Someone who gets me. Someone who kisses my forehead. And while I'm wishing, I would also like for him to completely adore me & think I'm hilarious. Is that so much to ask?

Oh...and also....someone who will play Boggle with me & not mind when I take you D-O-W-N !

Who wants some?

Sleepless in Seattle

It's 3:00 am.  I can't sleep.  Again. A really bad movie is on but for some reason I'm totally into it (see paragraph 1). Can't imagine why I can't sleep.....I mean aside from being totally&...

Arrest this.
