Life is funnier than any joke you could ever come up with...

About Me


There are many things I am... and there are many things I'm not.
I'm not a hairdresser. I don't eat meat. I didn't invent the lightbulb. I'm not the president of any important organization. I'm not an athlete. I don't litter. I don't own a PS3. I'm not a Republican. I'm not shy. I'm not married. I'm not allergic to shellfish. I don't drive an SUV. I'm not religious. I've never been to Europe. I don't have a degree in Chemistry. I don't know any celebrities. I don't drink. I don't work at a bank. I'm not a murderer. I'm not a fortune teller. I'm not stupid. I don't drink Arrowhead water. I don't wear tube socks. I don't own an iPod. I'm not an astronaut. I don't like Mimi's Cafe.
I am passionate. I am impulsive. I am well-rounded. I live alone. I'm tough. I am a hopeless romantic. I don't mind dining alone. I own a car. I smell nice. I go to school. I use my turn signals. I know entirely too much about appliances. I have a large music collection. I speak my mind. I work retail. I iron my sheets. I'm a magnet for unavailable men. I am lucky to have such great friends. I love music. I'm an environmentalist. I write. I am proud of who I am. I love meeting new people. I'm sensitive. I'm a closet-case pinball fanatic. I enjoy helping other people. I eat tortillas with every meal. I sing in my car. I drink Fiji. I love to learn.
