This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending.

About Me

-I'm the reigning champion in the Battle of Who Could Care Less.
-If we were to always expect the unexpected, wouldn't that make the unexpected EXPECTED? -Yeah, I thought so too.
-I think levels in parking garages should be called "your mother's a whore" and "my father is an abusive alcoholic" instead of "G-11" and "Purple-23".
-George Dubbya is a much better fundraiser than he is a leader.
-I'm really good at walking up to the microwave just before it hits zero.
- Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams and if I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It's better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver'.
I do not believe that altruism exists in this world. It is not a bad thing, necessarily, it's just that any benevolent act triggers feelings of self worth, fostering a sense of social accomplishment in the person who performs it. In turn, they are rewarded for their feat, which makes it ineligible for a selfless act of kindness. Then again, altruism could be a vacuous concept because we are all selfish assholes, eh, one of the two reasons, you choose.
I like to think of Psychology as a humanistic science that persues how conscious awareness can produce such uniquely human attributes as existential anxiety, creativity and free will. It's not just about analyzing people and shit, you know.

My Interests

Psychology. People, and why they behave the way they do. Graduating at the top of my class. Concerts. Spending lots of money and making a lot more. Accessories. Sleeping naked. Rainbow flip-flops. Music as often as possible. Rainy days. Slow dancing to silence on moonlit street corners. Beer during the day. Wine at night. Reading lyrics on cd cover inserts. Roadtrips. Absurdity and irony all rolled into one. Sailing. Moody afternoons in my underwear. Getting out a good cry. Nordstrom. Adorable coats and scarves. Sushi. Adreline rushes induced by competition. SOCCER! Going out for expensive meals I can't afford. Starbucks. Holding hands. Big cities, they invigorate me. Oh yeah, I am a kick ass beer pong player, believe me, you want me on your team.

I'd like to meet:

Other dissatisfied members of the human race. Narcissism, self-absorption, and people without class, taste or shame are far too prevalent in this world.
Someone who doesn't put "your mom" on this portion of their MySpace page, actually anywhere on their page come to think of it. "Your mom" comments are tired, just like your mom, yeah, yours.

I could go on and on. I have a new found love for acid jazz.

Anything else Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrel, or Jim Carrey is in. Anchorman is ridiculously funny.

Television:

Conan, Chappelle's Show, Family Guy, Friends, SNL re-runs, Seinfeld, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Sopranos, South Park, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, and The Simpsons. I've yet to see a new episode of anything in years. I get my political news from the Comdey Channel. Stephen Colbert for President! Oh, and I don't watch TV for the same reason I don't have a boyfriend...I can't make commitments.

Books:

1984, All Quiet on the Western Front, Angela's Ashes, Bartheleme's Snow White, Brave New World, Ethan Frome, Fahrenheit 451, Flowers for Algernon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Freud's Interpretation of Dreams and The Discovery of the Unconscious. In Cold Blood, Ishmael, Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Ordinary People, Pride and Prejudice, Slaughterhouse Five, The Great Gatsby, The House of God, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Things Fall Apart, The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book of all time.
