CY

Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult

About Me

How to make a CY:
Take a dash of neuroses; add a generous helping of wit and sarcasm; pour in a fascination for things academic and intellectual; toss in a loud laugh that sometimes borders on a cackle; mix in a craving to be challenged and intrigued by new and interesting people; and then throw in a deep and abiding love for God, family, and friends.
Stir. Let simmer, and then serve.

My Interests

literature-language-culture, high-heels, subliminals, awkward (but pleasurable) glances between a man and a woman, escaping to fictitious realms, frequenting bookstores and pirated DVD stalls and unearthing rare finds, annoying my brother, downloading, coffee and iced tea (not together), useless trivia, sinfully good food, driving alone, rainy days at home, lip gloss, frozen margaritas, baking, scented lotions, LRT2, having mental orgasms with friends over coffee or isaw, fat babies

I'd like to meet:

People who can stimulate me... in more ways than one. Haha!

Music:

the painfully personal songs of Sting, U2, Coldplay, Vertical Horizon, Eva Cassidy, Dashboard Confessionals, acoustic Lifehouse and Matchbox, Sheryl Crow, DMB; and lately, sexy rock like INXS and Def Leppard or anything else to strip to (hahaha); also hip-hop and R&B

Movies:

Cinema Paradiso, Fiddler on the Roof, Malena, Children of Heaven, Amelie, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Cold Mountain, The Shawshank Redemption, Legends of the Fall, Mr. Holland's Opus, Stand by Me, High Fidelity, When Harry Met Sally, Reality Bites, The Family Man, Mists of Avalon, Kung Ako Na Lang Sana (hahaha), Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Crash, The Agony and the Ecstasy; clever Bard spins like 10 Things I Hate About You and She's The Man

Television:

Been hooked recently on crime-suspense shows - aside from the staple CSi franchise, of course - like Cold Case, Law and Order Special Victims Unit; then there's also Rockstar Supernova, which is just like American Idol but with tattoos and an attitude; and from before: Alias, Sex and the City, Queer Eye, Amazing Race, Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Books:

Great Expectations; the works of Jeanette Winterson, Philip Roth, Shakespeare, Anita Shreve, Angela Carter, Rilke, Tagore, Gibran, Neruda; Einstein's Dreams, High Fidelity, The Godfather, Tuck Everlasting; and the occasional JD Robb/Nora Roberts (har!)
