you are my sweetest downfall...

About Me

I’m sarcastic and I embrace it. I’m funny, but it is usually while I am being sarcastic. I’m slightly impatient. I do not like being late to anything – especially to plays, the movies or church. I do not like doing laundry. The separating/washing process I am fine with, but I hate putting everything back up. I love clean clothes though, so I suffer though it. I have to sleep with at least two pillows and have a fan blowing on me (if possible). Even if it is freezing outside, I want to be smothered in blankets and have air circulating around my face. I am bad at money management, even though I try really hard at it. I change my hair whenever I think my life is getting dull. I wish I could make Starbucks’ Mocha Lattes at home that taste exactly like the four dollar version I always break down and buy. I will watch anything once, not matter how bad it may be. When I am in my car and the weather is nice, I roll down all the windows and sing at the top of my lungs. I sing even louder when I am at a stop light. Sometimes I think I talk too much and at other times not enough. Since I am convinced that there is no perfect balance – I’ll stick with who I am.

My Interests

theatre. the [un]original answer movies and music (honestly, I don't think I want to meet the person that doesn't love either/or). finding any excuse to go to a play, a game, or a concert. learning something new each day. challenges. acceptance. discussing politics and religion even though I'm told I shouldn't.

I'd like to meet:

there are way to many people i would love to meet. so i guess i'll just say...anyone who can carry on a good convo with a random, sarcastic gal like me.
