Deconstructing Elizabeth

I heard it's Modern to be Stupid

About Me


i am the best story teller alive.
Nearly all my friends live out of state.
I enjoy whiskey. And cigarrettes, too, mind you that I am not addicted.
I love woody allen movies.
I think when you're drunk you're the most honest.
probably when you're drunk you're the most annoying, too. "Enter LOOOUD...and OOBNOXIOUSSS..." I love kereoke and I love bowling but no matter how much I participate in either I never improve.
My dad is my favorite person to talk to.
My boyfriend's my bestfriend.
(I love all my girlfriends, too though.)
This isn't coming together very nicely...
Overall I'd say I like to be listened to when I am talking. I hate being talked over. I will repeat myself until I'm heard. I love Jenny Lewis, but who in their right mind doesn't? I love to eat, I am learning to cook, and am pretty good, too! I love chuck norris jokes. The past year has been the most difficult of my life but i've come to learn more bout me through it all than I ever knew, I like to grow and I like to be serious but I love to be lazy and goof off too. Drinking is my favorite pastime. I don't read much but I always think I should read more. I think the snow sucks and I even when it is 80 degrees outside I am still cold. all my socks have holes in them, too. I love to travel, I think it's my second favorite pastime but I don't it nearly as much as i drink. I love shiraz. The way to my heart is a kit kat and a bottle of white wine, or just a box of something cheap.
This is my boyfriend.
