About Me


jamais vu (zha-may-vü)
a disorder of memory characterized by the illusion that the familiar is being encountered for the first time

I'm Carol. My husband and I reside in the tri-valley area, where we enjoy our 2006 Mustang GT, our assortment of reptiles, and last but certainly not least, our lack of children. We recently moved here from the San Jose area, where it was getting a little too crowded for our liking. I also enjoy my personal space.

I'm a complicated person living a boring life, and that's fine. I'm skeptical, overly analytical, and level-headed (translation: stubborn, uptight, rude, and impatient).

My Interests

Mustangs; makeup and hair; MMU/Make Me Smooth; spelling and grammar; autoimmune disease; snakes and reptiles; ice cream; sarcasm; cooking (though my baking usually sucks); reading; Los Angeles; talking shit; John Cusack; movies, TV, and music; Gary Sinise; exercising; attempting to grow plants/flowers (but usually failing); autumn; Halloween; road trips/traveling

Things I am *NOT* interested in: religion; the music you listen to; video games; alcohol; being stalked on MySpace; how obscure you think your tastes are; Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc.

I'd like to meet:

People who have similar interests (especially Mustang owners!), or share my sarcastic sense of humor, peppermint mocha addiction, or love of Indian food. Basically, anyone other than the illiterate, insane, or emotionally crippled... although I think most MySpace users fit into at least one of those categories.

I WILL NOT ADD THE FOLLOWING:
a) Myspace "friend collectors"
b) people who overuse ~*~deCoRaTivE TyPinG~~*~
c) people who define themselves by the music they listen to
d) those with private profiles. I'm not adding you just to see who you are, asshole.

Music:

'80s, '90s, rock, metal. Polka. Just kidding.

Movies:

Grosse Pointe Blank, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, What About Bob?, Donnie Darko, stupid comedies, etc.

Television:

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lost, Dexter, House, The Office, Dead Like Me, Desperate Housewives, Scrubs, Ugly Betty, Arrested Development, Heroes, Mr. Show, Grey's Anatomy, Third Watch, In Living Color, Entourage

Books:

Currently reading: "Fitting Ends", Dan Chaon

Heroes:

Larry David, George Carlin
