Adrift...

About Me

Big hearted, silly, at least fairly intelligent... I appreciate the simple pleasures of life: a margarita, Comedy Central, a cat curled up in my lap, and some quality greens. I also love house music and the EDM in general, and occasionally will even make it off my ass to get out and support my boyfriend.I'm also very passionate about animals... monkeys in particular. I spend my days closely following a six-generational troop of around 100 rhesus macaques (think Curious George), observing and recording the behavioral interactions between mothers and their infants (all from inside a field station with the monkeys playing and frolicking around me). :) Hand's down, the best job in the world. Update: sadly, the best job in the world has come to an end... :( I've already made plans to be on permanent visitor status however.In addition to monkeys, I'm just a huge animal person in general, and am the adoring mom to two little girls (cats, not kids), Mia & Scout.Also just got engaged a few months ago, and am looking forward to a life full of lots of love and laughs, not to mention a lifetime's worth of toilet/scrotal humor.

My Interests

Movies/cable tv (especially anything comedic in nature), music in general, photography, animals/wildlife/primates, enjoying hanging out with real friends.

I'd like to meet:

Down-to-earth people who are genuine, honest, and funny.

Music:

EDM (house, breaks, some dnb), classic rock, motown and soul, and some newer stuff mixed in here and there... Radiohead, Pixies, Bjork... a pretty good mix of stuff really.

Movies:

Office Space, Old School, Half Baked, Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Garden State, Zoolander, and both quality and badly-dubbed kung fu flicks.

Television:

Tend to watch a lot of Comedy Central... also some Food Network, along with nerd channels like National Geographic and the Science Channel. South Park is hands-down my favorite show, and I also love Sex & the City, Chappelle's Show, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Project Runway, Iron Chef (the Japanese version of course), and science shows about animals, evolution, or monkeys. :D

Books:

Honestly have really only picked up coffee-table, photography sort of books lately, along with some magazines (don't I get more smart points for National Geographic though?). Would like to get back into casual reading here someday though.

Heroes:

I don't want to be cliche when I say Mom, but it's true. A true survivor.
