Before was only there so After could happen.

About Me

Constantly on the road...Or at least I was for quite some time. I once averaged at least 60-80 hours a month either getting to an aiport, waiting at an airport, or being on a plane. That means I know my way around the magazine stands at any Hudson News. It also means I used to spend a lot of time waiting.Currently I work for a nonprofit called Best Buddies which is the equavilent of Big Brothers/Big Sisters for people with disabilities. I do high school programs and attend a lot of activities where I eat large quantities of pizza and play a lot of UNO. I understand that I need money to pay my bills and have a place to hang my hat...but don't understand how it can be anyone's sole driving force to do anything (that means I'm poor and that I work for nonprofits).I love to be busy, but I also don't like clocks (figure that one out). Although I would perfer not to be busy doing things I could normally spend...oh say...the rest of my middle aged life doing. Something interesting would be nice.Sometimes I'm shy and I can't explain why, but sometimes I can be extremely outgoing...given the right circumstance (this can also include incidences that aren't alcohol induced).I slouch a lot too...Oh, and bread gives me the hiccups.

My Interests

i have just taken up an interest in dancing and recently went horseback riding. this may make me quite similar to an adolscent girl...hmmmmm.i used to get made fun of for my fear of the kitchen and now it calls me...i'm always looking for new veggie recipes. please send them to me!I also love cycling...I've surrendered to the fact that nobody looks good in bike shorts and yet they are the most useful gear.

I'd like to meet:

you

Music:

i like it all but can only handle limited amounts of the following: a)noise music b)bluegrass c)top 40

Television:

I DON'T HAVE TELEVISION,but if that's your thing that's cool too. I do have a big television at my house but it's used for movies.

Books:

wild child, listen up, a staggering work of heartbreaking genius, me talk pretty one day, catcher in the rye, cunt, running with scissors, how we are hungry

Heroes:

the ones who have inspired me and given me strength...the few that i would truly call my friends and they know who they are and don't need to be called out because they know how much i love them.
