I'm down-to-earth (the ultimate "girl next door"), intelligent, funny, outgoing, friendly, confident, not given to drama or delusions. I like big words, sports, travel, and music. You will love me (no, seriously). ;) I am a YouTube and Facebook addict. I love reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.
Two things about me are pretty consistent.
1-I am always on the lookout for awesome music, and
2-I read A LOT.I have music on pretty much constantly. Sometimes I can't decide between TV & music...if that's the case, then I'll throw in a favourite movie and read. I also have a particular fondness for 80s rock/pop. U2, Simple Minds, Mr. Mister, a-ha, and let's not forget the hair bands. Ahhhhhh good times.
I love the smell of books, the feel, the otherworld-ness of being totally involved in a book. I don't read romance novels (ew) but stick pretty close to legal/psychology/crime genres or travel books. Like music though, I'm always on the lookout for good authours and I am trying to expand my Classics reading. I've read most of Dostoyevsky, Lewis, Tolkien, Shakespeare and Dickens (yes, for fun)...but need to start working on other stuff. I'll accept any and all recommendations. :)
Let's see...how about some quirky About Me Facts:

-I make a bowl of popcorn every evening
-I don't like slurpees, but add ice cream and I'm there! (we call them Icebergs)
-I sleep on the left side of the bed
-I collect stuff with watermelons on it
-Charcoal gray is my favourite colour
Pet peeves:
-drivers who don't signal. I might rock, but I am NOT a bloody mind reader
-people who don't say Thank You
-people who mess with my organization..it's my shit, leave it alone! :D
-people who sit around and complain about EVERYTHING...and when it's something THEY can change, don't...but still keep complaining.
