About Me

Well, um, I'm a vegetarian, and a huge fan of Amy's organic vegan and vegetarian microwavable meals.

I tend to try to stay out of conflict and not be confrontational. However, I can get pretty annoyed *ehm*, very annoyed at some people. On that note, I enjoy making snarky remarks, being sarcastic, and making fun of people. But I don't really consider myself a mean person. I really do enjoy meeting new people as long as they're fun, interesting, and not annoying.

I don't like war, I recycle, and I try to do my part in preserving the environment. Yes, I'm a dirty tree hugging hippie sometimes, with the exception of my love for fast, heavy, and aggressive music. And I have a bit of a low tolerance for the human race.

I like to wrestle and play rough, as long as I'm not being tickled too much, of course.

I absolutely love storms and looking at the stars... especially with my boyfriend Dom who I love very much.

I love music with a passion and going to shows and concerts is pretty much my favorite thing to do. You meet some crazy people there.

On that note, I enjoy a pretty good variety of music. Metal, electronica/trance, industrial, folk, ska, raegae, 80's pop, classic rock, many other types of rock... you name it. And I have to admit, I enjoy being gangsta with some rap every now and then in my low, slow, gangsta, pimpin' smokin'mobile. My hands down favorite, though, is metal. But you could find me listening to anything from Slayer to Simon & Garfunkel.

Of course, I also like to sleep and curl up in my heating blanket. Naps are always nice.

And I can't leave out the fact that I have a bit of a fascination with the ebola virus. And smallpox. *shudder*
