We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?

About Me

I've been in Syracuse for 2.5 years, as a PA transplant.

I paint and (attempt to) play guitar... I was getting ok at it, then I stopped, now it's like starting over!

I am an Assault City Roller Girl, despite my mom's insistence that I'm "not tough enough". However, I am currently on hiatus. I want to go back, but I can't commit to the practice schedule right now.

I will fight for what's important to me... but only a select few people/things/principles fall into that category.

I love the 80s, Aerosmith, Kevin Smith, and Spiderman.

My "kids" are a 3-year-old cat and a 6-year-old rabbit. They are way cooler than most people I know (and the rabbit has been in my life a lot longer!).

Horror movies rock.

I cannot handle the sight of blood or needles in real life... but I loved all of the Saw movies.

I like roses. And tattoos (tattoo needles are exempt from my fear of needles, because they look more like pens). I have one small tattoo, of a rose. I may or may not get another one, someday.

I like to travel, and I don't get to do it as much as I'd like. I prefer to have a partner-in-crime, but it isn't absolutely necessary. I don't like being left out, and I hate when people "assume" that I won't want to do something, without ever asking.
I'm a bit of a cynic, and I tend not to trust a lot of people. When I do decide to trust someone, I get hurt very easily... as a result, I'm usually a pain in the ass until I really get to know someone. And don't even THINK about lying to me.

Also, I ain't down with O.P.P. Given some of the messages I've gotten on here, I feel the need to clarify that fact.

I hate cigarettes with a passion, but Jack Daniels and I are buddies. Tequila and I, on the other hand, have a dysfunctional relationship. I'm considering a restraining order. Jager and I aren't even on speaking terms.

Sunshine makes me happy.

I'm sort of shy, but I also like to be the center of attention. Go figure.

I don't like to be predictable, and I try not to be. It's more fun that way.

Quite frankly, most "Myspace People" annoy me. If I don't know you in person, or talk to you regularly, no, I will not "friend" you. (Judging by the number of these messages that I STILL get, I know that many people don't actually bother to read this.)

Things That Will NOT Impress Me: telling me I'm hot, posting a gazillion pictures of your car or your 6-pack, hitting on me after previously sleeping with one of my friends, spelling/grammar that's totally undecipherable, bitching because I didn't reply to a message immediately, trying to convince me that you are a "nice guy", or otherwise acting like an idiot. (The next time I get the "nice guy" speech, the guy who says it is going to get punched in the face.)

If you've gotten the general gist of what I DO NOT want to deal with, and you still have something to say, feel free to message me. Although the above may suggest otherwise, I am actually not a bitch. Usually.




My Interests

Psychology, painting, karaoke, reading, guitar, road trips, animals, traveling, spending time w/ my crew, throwing parties

I'd like to meet:

People who say what they mean, mean what they say, and know what they want.

Music:

I could list 75 bands here, but to keep it simple: I like a little of damn near everything from country to rap. Hard rock, 80s, punk... totally depends on my mood. Aerosmith is my all-time favorite band, though.

Movies:

Chasing Amy, Aladdin, The Princess Bride, anything by Kevin Smith, any Disney movie, Spiderman, Can't Hardly Wait, Ghost, Dirty Dancing, The Mist, anything w/ Adam Sandler, etc, etc

Television:

Lost, Scrubs, Sex and the City, Family Guy, South Park, Grey's Anatomy, Beauty & the Geek

Books:

High Fidelity (SO much better than the movie). Anything by Stephen King (esp. IT and Needful Things). Silence of the Lambs. The Princess Bride. Harry Potter. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I could go on. I read a lot. I'm partial to true crime stories and horror, though.

Heroes:

my grandma, my high school English teacher, Steven Tyler, and Spiderman

Sometimes, I amaze myself.

Specifically, these times are generally a week or 2 before Halloween, when I figure out ridiculous ways to make costumes (almost) from scratch, that look fabulous, but don't require leg...

The Secret...

As I remain in a rather craptastic mood tonight, I would just like to note: Peanut butter & marshmallow sandwiches, along with mint Oreo cappucinos, make things just a TINY bit better....
