My Interests

I love plank wood flooring and big comfy oversized chairs. I love looking at old pictures of people I don't know. I am not graceful and have been known to fall up the stairs. I order catalogs just to look at all their junk. I greatly enjoy walking through Elmwood Cemetary. I like to sew, but I don't follow patterns. My friends are usually taller than me. I am obsessed with my digital camera. I detest bra shopping. I miss the old Warner Brother cartoons. I can draw quite well, but I'm a terrible painter. My hands are always cold. I think 12:34 is a magical time of the day. I think quicker than I can speak, so sometimes my words come out jumbled. I am often shy around people I don't know, which makes people think ill of me. I love to bake. I enjoy peeling glue bottles. I have an unnatural disdain for people with fluffy hair. I love the sound of the church bells when I walk to work in the morning. After attending public schools all my life, I am well versed in multiculturism. I am easily amused, often laughing at my own jokes. Houses fascinate me. I have opinions on almost everything, but am rarely talkative. Flowers make me overwhelmingly happy. I have a slight obsession with my feet.

I'd like to meet:
