Let Me Upgrade You.

About Me

I'm all about karaoke-battling, lush-lounging, the hunting and gathering of music, indie and foreign films, people-watching, writing politically-minded diatribes on my blog and getting hate mail for it, and food-experimentation. I can be funky, but I also clean up real nice. I am an American Idol reject, a chronic procrastinator, pop-culture whore/music junkie, social butterfly extraordinaire, and I sometimes breakdown and pay for shit on iTunes. I'm totally me: cold-filtered, slightly refined, never tacky, often tactful, occasionally inappropriate.You don't know anyone like me.www.xanga.com/proudmarylives

My Interests

oh god, so many things.

I'd like to meet:

Guys who appreciate the art that is being young, fabulous, and broke. An affinity for Paula Dean and her "I Cook with Fat Because it Bubbles like Butter but Tastes Like Pig" show is also encouraged. Guys who are down to do new things (Color Me Mine on Saturdays! It's not just for octegenarians and apron-wearing soccer moms!) and try new shit without thinking it's retarded. Guys who can concoct a back-handed compliment as easily as Martha whips up a wine-soaked bolognese AND make me laugh even if it's at my expense. A guy who'll look beyond the fact that really, all bullshit aside, I laugh like Liza Minelli. Other than that, you.
