I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

my favorite beers are yellow beers. i never met a cheese i didn't like. every time i watch a detective show, i want to become a forensic scientist. unfortunately, i'm very sensitive to smells. except cheese smells. i don't have food allergies, but i'll lie about it to avoid foods i hate. i enjoy halloween but fear i've used up all the sluttily good disguises. my advice is excellently insightful, even though i, myself, never do the right thing. i recently read that puerto ricans are the self-described happiest people. that may explain my liking what someone called "happy pop." i wish i could shoot lasers out of my eyes so that i could pulverize people who litter and/or leave crappy graffiti in my neighborhood. okay, so it wasn't "the other day," but i have been called a bitch--and worse. i like the feeling of crossing over from "telling a story" to "holding court." i'm sure that officially qualifies me for something in the DSM. don't ask me about politics or religion or you'll be sorry. especially if we both happen to be soused.::: NOTA BENE ::: another thing you should know about me is that i don't see the point in collecting "friends" i've never met. if we've never been in the same room or don't have friends in common, chances are i'm not gonna accept your friend request. them's the breaks, kid.
