You're right, you're right, I know you're right...

About Me

Free spirit attached to this world, looking for the higher good in people (which is much easier when I'm drunk, by the way...).
You Are Teal Green
You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you.
Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible.
While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks.
Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have. What Color Green Are You?

My Interests


Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"
You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)

Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic

What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays

Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get What Does Your Candy Heart Say?
Have you ever had two (or more) dates in the same day? I plead the fifth.
Dark or milk chocolate? Dark.
How often do you talk to your parents? Once a week or so.
If you could only have one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? I would love to be healthy and say "fish and rice with veggies" or something. But, most likely, pizza.
Ever commit a felony? No...but I work with felons. Does that count?
Would you rather live with a sexual partner who occassionally annoys you or a platonic roommate you love spending time with? Roommate.
Butter or margarine? Butter.
What is the biggest gap in age (historically or presently) between you and a lover? 7 years. He was younger.
It's more valuable to be better at: pool or darts? Pool.
Biggest fear? Death. Honestly. Is there anyone who isn't?
Best movie line of all time? "Snap out of it!" from Moonstruck
You find a wallet on the ground. Return it, keep it, or toss it? Return it, but write down the credit card info first and go online and buy EVERYTHING (just kidding)...
Carnivorous or vegitarian? Carnivore
Would you rather be a vampire or a witch/wizard? At first I thought, "ooh. Vampires are sexy!", but I hate blood. So a witch.
Best book of all time? Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger
Your theme song? "All Mixed Up" - Red House Painters
If you were on Survivor, how would you win? I wouldn't be. And I wouldn't win if I was.
I hold the title for... Eating a whole pie in an hour. Try it! It's damn difficult!
Work: a low-paying job you love or a high-paying job you hate? Already have a mid-pay job I love. I'd probably do it for less too (don't tell my boss)
Current outfit? A bunny costume! *sigh* Okay, not really. A green sweater, jeans, and black boots.

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

I'd like to meet:

The strong of heart, the fierce of character, and those who have confidence in themselves - that's always sexy.

Music:

Many of the bands here on MySpace are amazing and you should check 'em out! Also, I like: Chopin, Mahler, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holliday, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Phish, Nirvana, the Cure, the White Stripes, Weezer, Radiohead....

Movies:

The first person to identify the movie that the quote next to my profile picture is from wins a prize! Any guesses?

Television:

Don't make me admit that I watch TV - It's too embarrassing! (although CSI and Law & Order SVU could probably convince me to give up a kidney to prevent either of them from going off the air...)

Heroes:

Anyone who lives courageously and "out loud". People who do amazing, unique, and beneficial things. Some examples for me are: Martin Luther King, Jr. & Mahatma Ghandi, and countless others like them. I also have to mention my mothers and fathers (long story), my brother, and many of my friends. I especially look up to the strong women role models in my life (you know who you are)!

Dance for your Dinner

Tonight I went dancing and cleared my head of all the mundane nonsense that the world imposes:  work deadlines, bills, politics, colleagues, money, schmoozing all the wrong people...  Tonig...

Moving's a Bitch (part deux)

Okay.  Evelyn and I knew that our last place was going to be short-term, but we just didn't know how short (we figured 6 months to a year)!  Unfortunately, this is the second time...

"That's All Folks!"

Well - I have been sick for so long now that it seems like I would never get back to "normal life".  I won't go into the boring (and often disgusting) details, so you won't have to cringe (unless...

Got love?

The exact make-up of love is not known.  There are many hypotheses as to what exactly forms an attachment:  biological, environmental, interpersonal factors...  But what is love? Why do...

The Perfect Vegan Dinner Party

My housemate, Evelyn and I recently had a dinner party for our good friend Jex's birthday.  She turned a glorious 27 (I remember that *sigh*). Evelyn and I were so excited!  We just finished...

This world is filled with amazing people.  Sure, there is always a balance - always a lot of chaff.  But, for the most part I am fascinated by the human experience and condition.  It co...

To my girls:

I know some fucking courageous  women -  [It's a blunt start to a paragraph, but fitting, damn it!] -   I just want to somehow bear witness to that...   I mean, it's...
