About Me

~ I have some piratical tendencies. ~ I think about subject-verb agreement a lot. ~ I think most unpleasant people in the world simply haven’t had enough cookies baked for them. ~ I like to read out loud, oftentimes in a Very Bad British Accent. ~ I'm 19 and I'm just now learning how to drive. Sad, right? ~ My pets are some of my best pals. ~ Apparently, I look like a left-handed, democratic writer. ~ I’d physically fight a person for a good piece of cheesecake. Heck, I’d verbally assault him for a mediocre one. ~ You might try to argue, but the truth is, I’m terribly shy. It takes me a really long time to warm up to most people. ~ Series finales always make me cry. ~ My sister is the one person who always knows exactly what line to say or exactly what face to make in order to make me laugh. Works every time. ~ I love having adventures. ~ My diet consists of coffee and sarcasm. Which is a line I kind of stole from Newsradio, but I thought it fit pretty well. ~ I like having picnics when it's warm outside. ~ I award people stars for good grammar, impressive words, and other such language-related accomplishments. ~ I cannot describe to you the hatred and disdain I feel for vegetables. ~ I've been known to take William H. Macy's name in vain. ~ It bothers me when people say they THINK God has a sense of humor, or they wonder if He does. If you don't know it by now, you just haven't been paying attention. ~ Gardenias fill me with joy. ~ I collect nautical paraphernalia, quotations, and moist towelettes. ~ There are few things I find more amusing than a good Christopher Walken impression. ~ My family has been known to break out in perfect 4-part harmony in the middle of Wal-Mart. I hate that about us. ~ The Beatles, in addition to being the greatest band of all time, really help me to deal with my emotions with some semblance of normalcy. ~ The more you and I can pick on each other with the full knowledge that it’s all in good fun, the better we will get along. ~ I'd live at an amusement park if that were socially acceptable. Or sanitary. ~My pet peeves are: drains that don’t do their job, when people use big words incorrectly, light, sharp, prickly rain, Kirk’s idiosyncrasies, the way my voice sounds, and when the hand on the mouse gets cold but the other is fine. ~ I was named after the gift of our Lord; who were YOU named after? ~ I am never satisfied with my “About Me” section. this layout is from whateverlife.com!Nance Nance Revolution.
