About Me

I am simply a complex girl. I am calmly passionate, softly outgoing, stubbornly openminded, happily discontent, and lovingly alone. My work is my play, so I need work on my playing. I am seriously funny, idiotically nerdy, and beautifully odd. I am simply a complex girl.

My Interests

I wish I had time enough in the day to live it all... But what fills my day the most is my love of all things "story telling..." working with video and film, writing, talking to strangers, and of course, listening to them. I also love sports (playing not watching), and I've recently discovered salsa dancing, which looks like a promising new hobbie...
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget.

You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it.

Your near future is still unknown, and a little scary. You'll get through wild times - and you'll textually enjoy it.

For you, falling in love has never been easy. You can only fall for someone who is very patient and persistent. Inside the Room of Your Soul

I'd like to meet:

Spunky coinhabitants of this crazy world
And of course, most specifically, the man of my dreams (though I don't plan to meet him through MySpace) Who is your Yule Ball date?
Your Date: Fred Weasley.Your House: Ravenclaw.Your Personality: Cute, sarcastic and like to take care of people.How He Asked You To The Ball:You had been cleaning up your dorm room all day. You were tired and hot and wearing sweatpants & a t-shirt. Finally finished, you gathered up the cleaning supplies you were using and went back to the supply closet you had borrowed them from.Reaching to the top shelf to replace a few things, you were suddenly shoved back and you heard the door slam. Fumbling in the dark, you finally found the lightswitch and turned the lights back on. Fred Weasley was standing with his back to you, peeking out the door that he held open just an inch.You tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Can I help you with something or am I free to go?"He turned around and held a finger to his lips, grinning."Stay quiet! Filch is after us. George and I just dropped a bunch of dung bombs on the 4th floor." He turned back to the door for a moment and gasped, then closed it quietly. "Filch is coming!" He looked more excited than frightened."Well then you probably should have chosen somewhere better to hide than the cleaning supply closet, Fred." You smirked and crossed your arms, leaning back agaisnt the shelves."Nah, Filch will never think to look here. I'm sure he thinks we're still running for it. Besides, I kinda like this closet."Your smile slowly faded as the meaning of his words dawned on you. Was Fred.. flirting? With you? You and Fred had always been friendly, and of course you thought he was adorable, but you two had never anything more than acquaintances. Hm.. Well what was the harm in flirting back a little?"Yeah, I'm starting to like it, too." Fred crossed his arms. He seemed to be considering something."Do you want to go to the ball with me?"You smiled."I would love to!"Fred stepped closer to you and leaned forward. You closed your eyes and put your arms around his neck, and he wrapped his around your waist. Right before your lips touched, the closet door swung open. "Fred, are you in -" George stopped short as he took in the two of you. He started to laugh. "Sorry, didn't realize you were busy!"You blushed furiously. Fred wiggled his eyebrows and shut the door in George's face.

Music:

I love music that makes me happy, and that ranges from oldies to eighties to newbies.... Lyrics with soul and instruments with passion, and of course HUMOR is essential! Mamas and the Papas, The Tubes, ELO, Cake, Bleu, Sweet, Blondie, the Decemberists, Fountains of Wayne, the Killers, Locust Street Taxi, wizard rock in general... carelessly eclectic!
You Are 50% Weird
Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it! How Weird Are You?

Movies:

Too many to list, I like most everything. But especially the darkly corky or strangly enlightening: Donnie Darko, I Heart Huckabees, The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.... also the shamelessly corny: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Send Me No Flowers, and chick flicks in general... and of course intelligent comedies... throw in an occasional horror flick and cookie-cutter thriller, and you've got me pegged!

Television:

I don't have TV, but we do occassionally watch old seasons on DVD: LOST, Supernatural, Friends (Jonelle...), Gilmore Girls (again, Jonelle). :) I would LOVE to catch up on Southpark and the Simpons! I miss comedy TV...

Books:

Currently the selected essays, lectures and poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Next? Who knows.
Great Advice to Follow:
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

If  I could have a true window to my soul, I would wear it about my neck, to hang just over my heart. That way, I could share myself with any who cared enough to look. I believe the worry of not...

what's in a name?

Isn't it hilarious how such a small thing can mask a painstaking stretch of your life with nothing but a smile and the guise of total contentment? Like when you are away from a loved one for ages...
