About Me

.... • I don't like when strangers touch me without permission. I don't understand why people think they can touch your tattoos, hair or clothes just because they like them. Eck!• I've had the same AIM Screenname since 1997 and it's kinda embarrassing...• I am proud to be a 90's kid! Nintendo, Saved By The Bell, Pogs, MC Hammer... hell yes!• I have more guy friends than girl friends.• I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, but when I fall for someone I basically hand it over. So far, this process has proven to fail me every time. • I drink milk out of the carton and put it back in the refrigerator… I’m not embarrassed.• I love blogging.• One of my biggest pet peeves is when people write words incorrectly. (examples: their, there, they're and your, you're) • I get really sad when I eat Lucky Charms and run out of marshmallows before the cereal. When this happens, I pour more cereal until I can get it right. • I could quite possibly be one of the goofiest people you meet...• I think theres an emo kid stuck inside of me... but I am way too happy for it to come out. • I say "Yay!", "True Story" and "Lame" way too much. • I was one of those kids that played alone, sometimes I still do that.• Every time I get Starbucks, I always read the 'The Way I See It' quotes on the cup, some of the most intriguing things you can read are on a coffee cup!• I would marry my Tivo if I could. It does whatever I want with no question and if I want, I can pause it and come back later and it doesn't give me a guilt trip or ask me where I've been or who I've been with. If only men were like Tivo... • I am a natural blonde and do indeed carry the stereotype. I am known for making random jokes that make no sense and can be a total ditz. Although I am not always fond of this trait, I think it is one of the things that make me who I am.• Music rules my life. I'll skip a meal if I have to just to buy concert tickets. • I was one of those band/drama/newspaper geeks in high school, but I liked it. I like to think things like that build character. • I laugh at really inopportune moments. I also laugh when people get hurt... sometimes to the point where I need to leave so no one sees me. I know it's not right, I just can't control myself.• I over-analyze everything! I can make things 10 times worse than they really are. It is one of my biggest weaknesses. This does help at work, but kills me in my personal life.• I love popcorn with mustard. It seems wierd, but its so good!• I have the best friends in the world that I would do anything for!• If you take sexy/emo pictures of yourself in your bathroom mirror just to post them on MySpace, I highly doubt I will like you.• I love tattoos, but really hate when people have stupid, meaningless ones.• I don't care how small and weak I am, I will kick your ass... even if I can't, I will convince myself and you that I can!• I love playing video games, even though I'm bad at them. I don't even try to compete.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You... maybe.

Music:


Movies:

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

Television:

LOST, The Office, Three Sheets, The Real World, Last Comic Standing, Heroes

Books:

Good ones...

Heroes:

My Mom, Your Mom, etc, etc...
