I am here for Friends

About Me

I've been back in California since July, so I figured it was time to change this. Now that it's been nine months, I take back anything bad I said about Texas. I really miss the place.

I'm self-indulgent, but I also work really hard (I dream about writing to-do lists) and I tend to spread myself thin. I also gravitate toward stress and drama, creating it at times.

My sense of humor ranges from dirty to intellectual (honestly, it's probably more on the dirty side of the spectrum) to just plain odd. A lot of people don't get me. And I'm starting to not care.

I loathe racism, but sexism is just funny. Injustice pisses me off. Bad parents piss me off. Rude drivers really piss me off.

I love candy, Thai food, Starbucks, shopping, South Park, and reading.

Scorpions can play dead??

I just found out that scorpions can "play dead". This terrifies me. There was a very...flat-looking scorpion in the bathroom this morning and I kinda ignored it, hoping someone else would dispose of ...
