Carpe Scrotum!

About Me

I got kicked in the face by a break dancer waiting in line with my parents for Micheal Jackson Tickets in the 80s. I had 45s and used a type writer to correspond with my grandma. Suburbia. Skate land. I danced in my basement. Still do.
Yup, I'm a dork. I have a library membership, and my first mortgage. I imported my husband from England. He's dreamy. He is my faith. I work at an office job in an industry that I previously thought was a paranoid delusion. I get to write people emails for a living. I have co worker friends on myspace. I've been to Paris and Budapest. I try to cook. I've never been any good at cleaning. I do Pilate's and work out in front of a TV. I plant trees, and identify birds. I'm a big fan of insects. I'd rather sit on a couch and talk with my friends than hang out in a bar. I listen to NPR, and books on CD. I read faster that way. I have great friends. I complain too much, but I think it displays how smart and discriminating I am.
I learned how to ballroom dance and knit. Got myself a piece of paper. I loved and miss University. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart makes me feel normal. I was a communications major, although I fancy myself a psych major. I don't like answering internet surveys about how many keys are on my key chain, or what my favorite alcoholic beverage is. Does anyone really care? I’m pretty egocentric, and narcissistic. My pain is the most tragic, deep, and all encompassing pain. In my head, I'm my own movie star.

My Interests

Micro-managing my Tivo, Reading, Writing as if someone will read it, Politics that I agree with, Religious debate that doesn’t end in war, or hurt feelings, Loving my husband well, eating excessively, avoiding bars, hanging out with like minded curmudgeons, material possessions, psychoanalyzing everyone, obsessively checking my email, camping with air mattresses, anything furry, concerts, insects, traveling when ever I can, bird watching before the flu gets em, drawing my face cause I like it, singing whether people like it or not, ballroom dance cause I can, stalking Jon Stewart.

I'd like to meet:

Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert '08

I'm all married up already. I still have room for those who make me laugh, and like to complain about the Bush Administration, or show me their emotional scars.
