About Me

I like a challenge. If I do not find something difficult, I will get bored quickly and slack off. I like knowing little trivial bits of information particularly about animals and history. I like the smell of oncoming rain. I like Annie's Balsamic Salad Dressing. I love bananas and cherries and string cheese. I like WFMT 98.7 FM on Saturday nights. I like popcorn, cooked on the stove, not in the microwave. I like classic styles of furniture and especially vintage 40s and early 50s clothing, music and patterns. Black and white movies make me feel safe when I am uncomfortable. I have an autographed poster from Lauren Bacall that says, "To Karen, Best - Lauren Bacall." I like miniature sized things such as coffee cups, bottles, pens, etc...And I am obsessed with plants and trying not to let them die in my apartment. I also like baking various types of breads from scratch.

My Interests

walking fast, days off, standing on the el, the smell of old books and records, waking up early, jogging for fun and my health, watching my cats play, listening to old records on my days off, having breakfast with my father, red lipstick and red nail polish, leopard print fabrics. I like adventure and I hate routine.
