Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

About Me

I edited my profile at MsPremade.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!
i like a good book, i like laying on the couch when it's raining/snowing out and the fire is going and i am enthralled in a great novel. i am an fascinated with catholism yet a protestant church goer. i struggle with giving all my world goods to the poor and my desire for a marc jacob jacket. i flirt with the concept of starving artist yet have the appetite of a emaciated wolf. i think i might have figured out what i want to do when i grow up which means i am actually ahead of schedule. i tend to downplay my intelligence - wait most women do that. i like to trash talk myself while on the treadmill or snowboarding or doing any physical activity. my goal is to one day be published in Bitch magazine.. or at least help open the eyes of people to the wonders that lie then in. so yes, that would make me a feminist though my definition might very from yours. then again that's why i dont like labels or categories, i am too complex to fit. i have been told i am an enigma, wrapped in an enigma and i think that's the closest to a definition you can get. i think i like the person i am or at least the one am becoming and what can be better than that?
I love
music - films - food - Iron Chef - my family - southern trees - Magnolia - books - tattoos - baseball - sweet tea - being tan - roadtrips - coffee - snowboarding - cooking - Paris on the Platte - the ocean - Catcher in the Rye - summer vacation - autumn leaves - getting mail - sales - hearing from old friends - my yahoo music station - coats - tiramisu - adventures - sharpies - writing - getting lost - Dexter's Lab - red toe nails - farmer's markets - mountains - The Dears - bagels - my handwriting - Annie Hall - photography - hot apple cider

I think
i'm going to cool one day - i get jealous too easily - i don't care what people think about me - thinking hurts - myspace is overrated - having a house would be ideal - you can't go wrong with black - i need to visit japan - i was a book slave at one time - and now once more - blogging is cheaper than therapy
I wish
was multi-lingual - was athletic - was more artistic - was a better writer - was an inch taller - had my own place - and furniture - had another tattoo - i had style - i had a job - there was such a thing as socialized healthcare in the US
