...confused about 'how' as well...

About Me

I don't tend to hold back....so I expect people to be the same way with me. I actually respect it. I appreciate the subtle art of sarcasm, but I also recognize that not everyone has good intentions while practicing this art....Be NICE, people!! I really and truly try to treat people the way I would want them to treat me - until I'm pissed. Even still, I try to be civil. It's not very often that you'll hear stories about me yelling at someone. The occasions are few and far between. I can be bitchy, but I try to keep it in check. I'm quirky as hell, but my intentions are good. I DESPISE fake people and all the bullshit that goes along with them. Because I have cats, people think I'm a "cat person" - I just like animals in general....cats, dogs, giraffes, iguanas... Besides....Jack thinks he's a dog sometimes... ;o)
You Are A Romantic Realist
You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends! Are You Romantic or Realistic?
You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.
While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

My Interests

Kind of a goober in general. An overgrown kid in many respects. Fond of music, movies, shopping, laughing, talking, Apple stuff BBC comedies, Austin Powers, concerts, art, museums, the beach.....total 80's child w/ a random knack for remembering useless knowledge that's only good for use playing Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit. Curious by nature....often bluntly honest, overly analytical, self-critical and cynical.

I'd like to meet:

If/when I'm meant to, I will.... ;o)

Music:

There isn't much that I enjoy more...except maybe taking pictures or painting, but I think they're all pretty equal. I try to get out to see friends' shows as much as possible. As a kid, I could get grounded from the phone, the TV....nothing fazed me until it came down to getting grounded from my stereo!! AAAAH!!! Got my first radio when I was 6. My first stereo at 8. I remember going w/ my Gram to buy my first records....and ditching her in other departments at Gemco to spend my allowance on more as I got older. Wish I'd have learned an instrument. Lots of different types of music have appealed to me at one time or another - but not a complete list by any means:Portishead, the Doors, the Smiths, Duran Duran, the Devils, the Killers, Muse, Interpol, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Tool, Goo Goo Dolls, Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, Billy Corgan, Linda Strawberry, Appogee, AllRise, Clear Static, h is orange, Imperial Z, Indicia, Just Jinger, Little Plastic Pilots, The Panic Channel, The Small Hours, Alexi Murdoch, Tricky, Depeche Mode, Lifehouse, Tonic, Billy Idol, George Michael, Madonna, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Berlin, Jane's Addiction, Journey, Elvis Presley, Rick Nelson, Echo & the Bunnymen, Love and Rockets, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Lords of Acid, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Nirvana, NIN....the list is rather eclectic & goes on and on....

Movies:

LOTS!! - Trainspotting, Quills, Amelie, Sense and Sensibility, Requiem for a Dream, Goonies, Sixteen Candles, Queen of the Damned, the Crow, Bill and Ted's, Dude, Where's My Car?, So, I Married an Axe Murderer, Austin Powers, Sliding Doors - there are many, many more....artsy stuff, indie stuff, stupid humor, intelligent humor, wicked humor, intelligent movies, movies that make you think, movies that are well-written, well-acted....

Television:

LOST, Six Feet Under (r.i.p.), House, Little People, Big World, Extreme Makeover - Home Edition....More of a movie girl, but.....I tend to get sucked into late-night home improvement/design shows. I love the shows where they surprise family members by making over part of the house while they're out of town. TOO cool!

Books:

J.K. Rowling and Anne Rice pretty much rock! I used to read a lot of Stephen King back in the day, but I haven't in a really long time. "The Alchemist" from Paulo Coelho is an amazing book. A friend gave it to me for Christmas last year and I finally got around to reading it a couple months ago. "Violets are Blue" - James Patterson, "Lightning" - Dean Koontz, "The Dark Half" - Stephen King, "Blackwood Farm" - Anne Rice, "Siddhartha" - Herman Hesse, "Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley.....I know there are some I'm definitely forgetting.

Heroes:

Anyone who follows their dreams - many people don't have the courage to do so.

My Blog

....because I'm frickin' retarded....

OK, no insult to people who actually are indeed challenged, but WOW....So, I pulled up to my grandparents' house...put my car keys in my purse, zipped up my purse, locked the door....grabbed the mail....
