I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Really, my story can only be told through either interpretive dance or a dirty sock puppet show, but I'll try and contain it within these parameters.But that's beside the point--you want to know more about me.I never grew up and you can't make me. So there.I make fun of strangers in public places and laugh at funerals.I sing at inappropriate times and volumes.And I don't take life seriously. Why? Because that's what closed-minded people do and they're no fun to play Twister with.
You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.

My Interests

People keep telling me that 30 is the new 20, but I really hope not. The 30s are more fun so far--I'm a little smarter now and I've finally grown into my big boy pants (I was a late bloomer). But my interests include movies, reading, running, hockey, football, ultimate bar darts, going out with friends for a pint, cooking/entertaining (I make the best BBQ pork butt this side of the Mason Dixon line), teasing the elderly, hunting rednecks, and making other people look better through comparison. Oh yeah, and puddin'.... awww yeah... width="425" height="350" ..'cause I cook, and then I chill. Awww yeah.

I'd like to meet:

Barry and Lavon. Abe Lincoln (he cheats). Jay and Silent Bob. Batman. Perhaps you... but probably not. Since I'm with the girl of my dreams already, I'm pretty much off the market. So there.

Music:

What don't I listen to? Really, I just appreciate good music, so it's easier to say that I do not like the little pop crap, the hipster bullshit, the whiny country or the lame rap/R&B that MTV dumps on us like wheelbarrow loads of crap. I loathe MTV. Everything else is fair game. If you're looking for bands and artists I like, just check out my friends list... but I'm enjoying a lot of Snow Patrol, Evanescence, Sarah McLachlan, Green Day, Weird Al, U2 and a slew of others lately.

Movies:

As long as they're well written and acted, I'll watch them (see: pretty much anything Tom Hanks has done). I also love cheesy horror films, Kevin Smith films (they're well written, but Jason Mewes can't act to save his life), the 80s classics (Say Anything... c'mon, ya gotta love Cusack in that) and superhero/sci fi type of things (I never grew up). Right now, I love Batman Begins, Sin City, Team America, Serenity (Firefly), Tarantino flicks, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (the originals and Ep. 3--not the kid-friendly ones), Shaun of the Dead (love those zombies!), Seven, Memento... oh man, there are way too many that I love. My all time favorite, though, is Casablanca--how's that for different.Your results:
You are Han Solo Han Solo 69% Chewbacca 69% Lando Calrissian 67% Mace Windu 66% Qui-Gon Jinn 64% Luke Skywalker 63% Darth Maul 61% R2-D2 60% Jar Jar Binks 56% Boba Fett 55% Even though you've been described as

Television:

I try not to watch too much television, but I still love the Simpsons, CSI, Family Guy, and my new favorite show--How I Met Your Mother. Heroes and BSG also rock. Yes, I'm a dork. I don't care. So there.

Books:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fight Club, Hey Whipple, Squeeze this!, Identity Crisis, High Fidelity...a plethora of others. I love Sedaris, HST and a slew of other authors (I'm a writer, it's what I do). Right now, I'm reading Marley & Me, Blink and Tipping Point (and yes, I read multiple books at one time--I'm weird like that).

Heroes:

Batman, Superman, Stewie, Barney Stinson, Ballsac the Jaws of Death, Malcolm Reynolds, and Jesus--not the dude with the sandals and the bread and the wine... although he's pretty cool too... I'm talkin' about the bowler. Cause NOBODY fucks with the Jesus.Your results:
You are Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) 70% Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) 50% Wash (Ship Pilot) 45% Derrial Book (Shepherd) 45% Jayne Cobb (Mercenary) 35% Dr. Simon Tam (Ship Medic) 35% River (Stowaway) 30% Inara Serra (Companion) 30% Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) 30% Alliance 25% A Reaver (Cannibal) 15% Honest and a defender of the innocent.

would protect your crew from harm.
