Singles remind me of kisses, Albums remind me of plans

About Me

Here's a little bit "About Me": I enjoy collecting and researching mid-century design, art, and furniture, music is extremely important as well, movies/film, animation, general silliness, comic books, active/historic feminism and feminists, making fun of yuppies and/or squares, obsessing over the likes of Ray Davies, Peter Sellers, Charles Eames, Herman Miller, Russel Wright, Raymond Loewy, modern art, and George Harrison. I drink way too much diet coke, I'm obsessed with candy, and I wear glasses.

My Interests

Well, I have a broad array of interests. And, what I do for a living does not really reflect them. But hey, only the lucky can say that about their job, right? I love estate sales, "old lady" stuff, antiques, cars, music, movies, art, art, and more art, vintage clothes and jewelry, I am infatuated with cardigans (and trying to find the perfect one), and I have a slight obsession with bugs bunny , feminist art and literature, literature on philosophy and religion, cheesy teen movies, my cat, eames-era everything, tacky porcelain animals, good tattoos, and everything in-between. I can lean towards the "boring" side at times and become somewhat introverted. I get fed up with all of the scenes, maybe just because there are no mods left in marin. I'm not a hipster or cool person of any sort, I am a nerd who still has her comic books from highschool and on multiple occasions cut her hair to look exactly like Keith Moon's. I can also watch old musicals till the cows come home and prefer records to cd's.
You Are Strawberry Ice Cream
A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core.
You often find yourself on the outside looking in.
Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works.

You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream. What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

I'd like to meet:

People who are genuine and aren't trying too hard. Being cool is extremely overrated...or so I've heard. Oh, also I'd like to meet someone who understands my obsession with Ray Davies. Honestly, it's not stalker-y or unhealthy.
You Are Scooter
Brainy and knowledgable, you are the perfect sidekick.
You're always willing to lend a helping hand.
In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going.

Television:

My T.V. viewing can be a bit embarassing. I only watch a few shows regularly. Conan, Seinfeld, The Soup, Project Runway, and those crappy VH1 countdown shows. I like anything that's interesting or educational, and have a weird fascination with documentries about serial killers. If the show can engage me, I'll most likely watch it.
