About Me

I don't update Myspace.I don't update Myspace.I don't update Myspace....Except obviously sometimes I do.Me: recent arrival to the DC/North Virginia area. Mostly quiet, except when drunk and loud. The frequency of said drunkeness and loudness is classified, mostly so I don't look like an old lady or a party girl. Back to description! Often encountered speaking in lolcat to boyfriend Matt, whose record collection could beat up yours (but my book collection could take them both on in a cage match and emerge triumphant.) Needs a job due to severe lack of rich uncles. If you'd like to volunteer in that capacity, please let me know. Has been described as an intellectual, but "geek" is probably more accurate. Fond of good beer, good literature, trashy sci-fi movies, and rock and roll.

My Interests

Literature, thrift stores, videogames, walking at night (not for any weird goth-ish reason, I just like it), camping, bettas, animal welfare, Oglethorpe gossip, old movies, Westerns, kung fu movies, really bad sci-fi, girly shit like make-up and clothes and shoes, beer beer beer, obeying the inscrutable exhortations of my soul, weird bugs.

I'd like to meet:

Good conversationalists, no one rascist or bigoted, friends (definitely), people who don't take themselves ultra-seriously, definitely no one creepy or stalkerish, people who love books and literature, video game buddies, drinking buddies. NO NETSPEAK, I MEAN IT.
