I can be your typical introvert- I like to read and write and crave my alone time every now and then. I love hanging with my friends and doing totally random things. I actually like learning new stuff and wont fall asleep watching the discovery channel and Animal Planet. I love going to the zoo and aquarium and are trying to talk my friends into hitting some of the museums. When the weather lets me I love taking my dog up to the dog park to play or for a long walk to get us both off our asses.
Ive been volunteering at a ranch for a year and spend a lot of time out there taking care of the horses, working with the younger ones, and riding. I've also been on a big craft kick lately to kill boredom- making jewelry and other stuff. I'm about to start selling some and have been working on getting a portfolio or whatever of stuff I've made online. I'll get the link up when I'm done...
Oh...and ever since I saw the ballet hippo scene in Fantasia when I was little, I've loved hippos!!! If I see anything related to horses or hippos outta the corner of my eyes beware! A sudden 'Hooooooorsey!', 'Hippoooos!', or 'OMG Hip-pip-os!' outburst is likely to occur!
I'd like to meet:
No one can ever have enough friends sooo I'm always open for making more :). Feel free to IM me (see above ^ section for my screennames) if ya wanna chat or whatever.
Basically? If any of these are symbolic of you (and I mean in a big way not in a 'Sometimes I...' way), my more flamboyant side is likely to come out... and things aren't likely to work out(as friends OR in a relationship).
~* If you hate or are majorly allergic to animals, you couldn't handle hanging around with me because if I ever had to choose between a person and my pets, chances are they'd win hands (or paws or hooves or fins) down.*~
~* Old pervs are creepy... STAY AWAY! (Except you, Fabio. You're special) I do get a good laugh when they IM me though heh*~
~* If you have to base your life on trends and your social status... You are a very pathetic individual and need to get a life!*~
~* If you can't get in touch with your inner child... then you suck! I can be mature and generally act way older than I am, yet I still enjoy occasionally running around like a retard, playing video games, and monopoly (OMG order a pizza, pop in an awesome movie, and challenge me to a game of monopoly and I'll be totally content and amused for a few hours heh. Dude... I think it was like that 10 years ago too...).*~
~* If you can't step inside someone elses shoes for a little bit before fully judging a situation, then you're going to majorly frustrate me. Yes I can be temperamental (I AM a chick!) and usually react quickly in situations (which can lead to assumptions, but I change or disregard wrong ones quickly); but, I'm pretty understanding especially if I get where you're coming from. Thus, I expect the same outta the people I hang with.*~
~* I believe that showing kindness and compassion shows strength, not weakness. I have really strong views and morals on certain topics which have developed from my experiences, education, etc. Thus I get beyond frustrated when someone rigidly holds onto a viewpoint that they came to without learning any true facts (IE: through parents, judgments, etc). Examples include: racism, poverty, gender issues, separation of church and state, environmental protection, etc. If you're a huge fan of our president, you probably don't have my same viewpoints.*~
~* If you can't keep up with me intellectually (or at least pretend), I'm going to get flustered when talking to you. I know that sounds really arrogant but I hate it when I'm talking to someone and I have to explain every other word I say because they have this total blank look on their face. I have my ditsy days too though.

Music:
My music taste is very broad- I prefer alternative type music but I like some country (I've been around horses and lived in Texas all my life what do you expect?). I listen to a lot of classic rock as well. I generally dislike the rap/ top 40/ techno crap unless it hits me right or I listened to it when I was younger(Anything from mid to late 90's generally doesn't count as far as my 'top 40 stuff sucks' thing cuz I listened to it then).

Movies:
My movie taste is sorta broad too. I hate scary movies because I tend to have freaky dreams where I'm in a movie or TV show I watched recently and if it scared the shit outta me it'll make me paranoid for a while (which is why its so weird I loved Buffy so much. I think thats my scary threshold). Im such a wuss :(. The stupid drama movies with lotsa car chases and no 'real' plot bore the hell outta me. Otherwise, most stuffs in- especially comedies, 'teen' movies, and 'chick flicks' :). BTW- this is in no way a complete list- I know I'm forgetting some and just didn't put others on. I didnt want this list to go on and on and on forever! Same goes for music above^. Yes its dorky, but I'm gonna try to add a few quotes to some of these that always make me smile :).

Books:
I adore "King Solomon's Ring" by Konrad Lorenz. If you're an animal person and/or like the documentaries on animal planet/ discovery, check out this book! He was one of the three scientists that formed the study of animal behavior and his writing is interesting AND funny. :-p Dont worry, it has little sketches on every page too so it sorta has pictures
Heroes:
This changes here and there but I try to stay my own hero. I get disappointed with things I do or that happen in my life here and there; but, reminding myself of how far I've come in life, my hopes and dreams, and the consequences of my actions usually keeps me in line.
I look up to my cousin because shes been through lotsa shit and still remains open to others and continues her life. In some ways, I admire my mom because of all the obstacles shes overcome. I definitely admire my Aunt Ellen and Aunt Carolyn because of their unique personalities and emotional strength.
