I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live in Chicago. I like living here. If I didn't, I'd move. I really don't believe in doing things that make you unhappy. I work a lot. Sometimes I make a lot of money. Usually I don't. It doesn't bother me.

I get along with a lot of people, but I don't get along with a lot more. When I don't get along with someone, it's almost invariably my fault. I call people on their bullshit. I appreciate being called on my own. I'm completely incapable of hiding how I feel about anyone or anything.

I prefer books to television, faces to bodies, aisle seats to window seats, and excellent food to just about anything. I have never in my life had a positive experience with Jameson, pigeons, or virgins.

I have all sorts of theories about the world that are grounded in little or no reality. My dream job would be for someone to pay me to talk about them.

There's at least a 60% chance that I drink too much.

Five things I like are: fashion magazines, football, musicals, creativity, taking baths.

Five things I absolutely fucking hate are: MySpace, micromanagers, bad parents, washing dishes, the word "entitled."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Passionate and driven a must. Intelligent and articulate strongly preferred. Employed and/or artistic (I realize they’re often incompatible) moderately preferred. Reasonably close to my age, location, and memory is a plus.

Everything else is negotiable.

The most fucked up thing ever. EVER.

I've had some excellent, blogworthy stories in the interim since my last entry.  One was the saga of my trip on United, the asshole of the airline industry.  One was a rant about my new neig...

Being an Asian woman, I shouldnt even own a car in the first place.

But I do.  And this is what it has cost me in the last 8 months:* Gas.  I fill up every 5-6 days at $50-60 per tank.  That's approximately $300/month.  That's $2400.* Insurance.&nb...

$814

I.e., the amount of money per month that I pay to live in this piece of shit apartment.  Since I moved in July 2006, I have endured:* Average WINTER temperature of 75 degrees--which is only toler...

It doesnt matter. Srsly.

Over the internet, I'm very (VERY) frequently asked how old I am.  I almost never answer.  Not because it matters; indeed, because it doesn't.  I've yet to receive a logical explanation (and no, 'I ju...

Shooting always puts me in a shitty mood.

This morning I rolled out of bed at noon, poured myself a Smirny and strawberry juice cocktail in hopes of being drunk by 2:00, and opened my e-mail to find FOURTEEN FUCKING MESSAGES from the photogra...

Please just don't:

1) Add me if I don't know you.  I'm here to keep in touch with people I do know and to network in my industry.  I'm not here to collect the most friends.  I don't get off on big numbers...
