About Me

When I sneeze, I don't just sneeze once. I sneeze about 7 times, and then sometimes if I'm lucky, I can get it up to 10. In grammar school, my teachers always thought I was faking to get attention, but seriously, that's just how I am . And besides being a quazi-genius, I like loud music, good beer, and lots of hugs. I hate the taste of licking envelopes. My right boob is considerably larger than my left. I love the smell of fresh jasmine. I overreact as much as possible. I don't usually wear underwear. I like being comfy. I'll listen to your shit and even give you sound advice. I work as a nanny, but secretly wish I was famous. I sing well, like to act, and like to make people laugh even if it means making an ass out of myself. If you need a ride to/from the airport, I'll most likely do it just because I like to listen to music, and just because I like having your company for the duration of the one-way trip. I used to think I was a gay guy trapped in a girl's body. I'm constantly figuring myself out, and always curious about you.

My Interests

People watching, the beach, sunsets, the water, plants and flowers, interpretive dance, trying new things, hiking, Andy Campanella, singing, writing funny stuff, improv, acting, arts and crafts, peanut butter, good coffee, making-out, laughing, mexican food, taking pictures of boobs, oatmeal, intense daydreaming, text messaging

Music:

Music I can sing along with, Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams, Patty Griffin, The Dixie Chicks, Nick Drake, Iron and Wine, Damien Rice, Modest Mouse, Pinback, Postal Service, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Reggae, Pop Music, Lionel Richie, Outkast, Britney Spears (pre-K.Fed), Justin Timberlake (post-Britney), Tupac, 80's music, cheesy love song music like Don Henley and Chicago and Bruce Hornsby, Mix CD's by Deborah Tarica, any music involving the sexiest man alive Andy Campanella including (but not limited to) The Garden of Earthly Delight, Under Carl, and "I Think I'll Stay Awhile" and even music by his older brother's band, The Quarter After, who I think kick ass too.

Movies:

Back to the Future Trilogy, Secretary, John Hughes Films, Almodovar films (I'm essentially torn between being a teenie-bopper and a film-snob), The Goonies, Napolean Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Garden State, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, A Chorus Line, Moulin Rouge and most other musicals, Once is a great Irish musical, movies with unrealistic chase scenes like My Best Friend's Wedding, Bridget Jones 1 and 2, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Notting Hill...it's a mild obsession of mine...

Television:

Okay, I never sit down, period. So how can I watch TV? But I do watch Lost religiously, and it is arguably the best show I've ever seen. Grey's Anatomy is a close second. I also like Law & Order SVU, The Office, Peep Show, Jeopardy and old re-runs of Seinfeld and The Simpsons. I watch the news sometimes too, but it just pisses me off.

Books:

Books by Augusten Burroughs, Film Theory, memoirs, The Catcher in the Rye, The Kite Runner, my diaries/journals...James Frey has a cool writing style. I don't care whether he was embellishing his stories in A Million Little Pieces of My Friend Leonard or not they're still very interesting...David Sedaris is the best memoir writer ever, however I NEVER want to meet him for fear he will write something about me!

Heroes:

The marketing campaign behind Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" radio jingles. Mister 80 SPF sunblock wearer guy? I mean, what could be more funny!? Kill me.

I'm an NPR Girl
