About Me

I am fiercely loyal, unabashedly sarcastic, and slightly hedonistic. Quite often my train of thought derails. I get distracted by shiny and sparkly things. Glitter is my arch nemesis. I'm not Emo; I just play one on TV. I've been called Mrs. Robinson by more than one of my friends.(Although Jacque has taken to calling me a cougar now). I like taking trips with my friends and taking obscene amounts of photos, like Japanese tourist amounts. I like dirty corner bars, shopping clearance, and subtitled movies with the original language playing in the background, in the hopes that I might learn to cuss in Mandarin or Greek someday. I forget to call my parents. My youngest brother is my best friend. I make passes at boys who wear glasses. I don't sing in the shower, but I do in the car and at the dinner table. I've been called stubborn, opinionated, and too independent. I've never thrown away an address book, so I can tell you your phone number from the first time you gave it to me. I almost always remember your birthday. I raised a niece that now has kids of her own. I can remember exact dates of events with startling accuracy. I am a text message junkie. I have used Pittsnogle as a verb. I quote statistics I hear; even if they are wrong. I always have Chapstick. My brother Andy (yes, Andy & Brandy) and I were born two days (8yrs) apart and I was 18 before I had my own birthday party or cake. There is no such thing as too many purses-or Bigfoot. I was once hassled by a border guard. I've never had a cuppu coffee. I'm a pop culture Princess. ~~~~~That's how I roll.~~~~~~

My Interests

Books, Uncomfortable silences, Marathon Scrabble, Learning something new, Art House movies than nobody has heard of, Road Trips with a friend and without an agenda, Camping , ridin' dirty ATVs, Free Concerts, discovering new Signer/ Songwriters, WVU (Let's Goooo Mountaineers), and hangin with my big, obnoxious Irish family and my friends.

I'd like to meet:

Tall, dark, and young men, just kidding...Maybe... Sometimes. Zack Braff, Gaspard Ulliel, Steve Burton, Jon Stewart, Tim Rozon, Jason Statham. I want to do bad, bad things to Johnathan Rhys Meyers (like take away his beer) Someone who can explain anime or soccer to me. People who know the difference between ironic events and coincidences. Individuals that think in tangents. ....outgoing, witty, fun people with open minds. Kandi tried to explain soccer to me- on a Post-It. Notice her attempt at humor for Dummies.

I grew up in a musical house. My mom, a Californian child of the early 70's, loved to play The Eagles, CCR, Led Zepplin (which I now refuse to listen) Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beatles, Cream... "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton is my favorite song of all time. While I like Singer/ Songwriters I also dig covers.

I loved Gilmore Girls, Firefly, Buffy and Angel, Everwood, and Veronica Mars but the PTB canceled them. My guilty pleasure is Canadian angst-ridden teen dramas Instant Star & DeGrassi.

Books:

I would say contemporary fiction but my friends would say smutty, trashy romance novels. Mostly Best Sellers, summer beach books that I read in the fall, and historical political biographies.

Heroes:

people should be their own heroes.
