About Me

Even though I have been in a relationship for a while I still like to drink cheap wine and play music loud. I like to meet new people even though I am hugely resistant to going to new places, eating new food, drinking new drinks or driving at night. I sound fun don't I? I do love to laugh and make fun of people and be bitchy, not ALL of the time, but let's face it, MOST of the time. I am much more under control than I used to be which, trust me, is a good thing, but I still know how to have fun. I have a lot of strange quirks like when I get home from work at night I look out the window ten times to make sure my headlights are off. I lick my lips each and every time I take a drag off of a cigarette, I check my alarm clock in the morning about 5 times to make sure it is off, since I wake up an hour before it is set to buzz anyway. I guess I am a bit of an obssessive compulsive (okay more than a bit) and if you saw my house you would believe me. Everything in it's place or else. I freak out at malls -- too many kids, too many lines, too much traffic, nowhere to park. Haha. Overall I guess I would say that I am a fairly happy person but I work with tons of computer nerds (one of whom has just informed me that he prefers to be called a computer "geek" instead) and need to communicate with normal (using myself as the measuring stick for normal of course) people every once in a while! I have a sarcastic sense of humor and can be witty on occasion. I love to hang out with my sister -- she is the best Doody in the world -- the rest of my family pretty much drives me insane except my dad who is LOW maintenance thank God, but I love them anyway. All in all I'd say I'm a good gal but for some reason I have already been deleted once from myspace so maybe I am not as neat as I think. Maybe I am a nasty piece of work. Our intern at work told me yesterday I was disgusting. Maybe that says it all.

My Interests

It's boring but I love to read. I also love to be a couch potato. I pretended to love to hike and fish and camp when I met my boyfriend but I shouldn't have done that. I love watching professional sports (I don't count golf or tennis)... Baseball is my all time favorite, I absolutely live for baseball season and never miss a game on TV or at The Safe unless I am on my deathbed. This is the exact reason I never used to date during baseball season until I realized that is half the year and I'm already a crazy pet lady without being the crazy old spinster pet lady. I am strangely attracted to Mike Morse, and now that Nick Lachey is one of the owners of the Rainiers I can have Morse for myself -- all the other girls want Nick right?? Not me -- no thanks!! I have a thing for huge noses. Seriously, like Andy Pettite would be right up there for me if he wasn't a fucking Yankee. DAMN. Right now I am stunned that we could lose the Sonics. I thought I was pissed when the Seahawks took one up the ass in the Superbowl, well at least they hung in there. As long as we never put anyone else on the cover of Madden I will feel fine about football. (Well I AM kind of upset that Shaun Alexander has already succumbed to the jinx so for God's Sake they need to leave Tatupu and Peterson and Kerney alone! THAT'S the jinx that bothers me. Anyway -- on to basketball -- How are we going to blow town the very season that Wally Szczerbiak comes to town and we get two bad ass rookies??? Now that is just wrong. See my blog about Clay Bennett for more bitching in regards to relocation. Also see my blog about Wally Szczerbiak for some drooling, unless you are a boy in which case you can pretend not to drool but you know he is a perfect male specimen and then some! No need to be so jealous of him. Anyway bottom line is I think Howard Schultz ultimately screwed us. I would boycott Starbucks if I had the strength to give it up. Anyway if they leave (the only two franchises in Seattle history that have championships are the goddamn Sonics AND the Storm for Christ's sake!!!) I will slit my wrists. Anyone notice the Storm make it to the playoffs all the time?? Yeah, so the WNBA is lame but better to have a lame champion than no game at all!!! Anyway Howard and Clay should let the Indians pay for a new arena and put it next to Emerald Downs -- They're fricking loaded anyway!!! Who in the hell would want to go to Oklahoma for any reason? Their market sucks and the commentators will want to die. Moving on -- so I loved The Contender the first year and Sergio Mora is my boy. I picked him from the first episode to win it all -- you have to love a boxer that reads Nietzsche. My favorite boxer is Roy Jones Jr. but I like watching old school Hearns and Hagler or Chavez and Camacho -- back when people actually used to fight instead of just wrapping each other up. I love me some Sugar Shane Mosley. some Hopkins, some Trinidad, some De La Hoya even if he is a pretty boy, And Tyson is always fun to watch because he is insane. The problem with boxing besides Don King is too many belts and too many "federations" IBF, WBC, WBA, WBO -- I mean give us a goddang break would ya??? Okay I am going off on a tangent (AGAIN -- if anyone reads these things anyway...) Ummm.... I love going to concerts (Paul Simon was the last great show I saw - YEAH BABY!!!)I am going to San Diego just to see Marilyn Manson, it's a bonus that Slayer is on the bill. I love seeing local bands and listening to music when I am just hanging out at home. I have a black lab that forces me to get exercise because she needs to be outside every day but that's okay. Except for when it's raining which is like always, because it is way too depressing to go to work when it's dark and rainy, come home when it's dark and rainy, and then stand in the rain throwing a ball. But that's alright because I love her. Her name is Cinder. I have a cat that hates me but I don't mind -- cats don't live long around our neighborhood. Okay that was mean -- just kidding. His name is Tuffy and he likes to scare the crap out of you by jumping in the tub while you are in there. Besides sports and books and music and my pets I guess my interests are sleeping and eating? God knows I don't do enough of either -- just not enough time.

I'd like to meet:

Wally Szczerbiak, Frank Brickowski, Jay Buhner, Detlef Schrempf, White Chocolate, David Carr, Mike Morse the stud of the Tacoma Rainiers, Matt Hasselbeck is hot all of sudden, Ryan Gosling, Gary Oldman, Jim Morrison, Dylan Klebold, Sid Vicious, JOE ELLIOT -- how hot is he???...Oh real people?? Ummm...okay...people that like to chat all day because I am bored at my job. Okay I hope my boss isn't on this website. Ummm...people that like to drink cheap wine and play music loud? Girls whose boyfriends can't seem to quite tear themselves away from the Xbox? Is there a support group for that? I guess I am open to anyone relatively local because of the whole driving at night thing. Oh did I mention the whole I don't drive on the freeway either thing? I like meeting anyone as long as it is totally over the computer and not in person -- I really just don't like people all that much. You know how when you work with customers and you are fake nice all day and then you go home and you are a bitch at night?? That's me. Okay well I guess I'm not that bad -- I do have friends that I have had forever and I have new friends that I love dearly, I guess you just can't have too many friends right? I would love to meet back up with friends from high school even though I noticed that most of them are way too cool or rich or mature or busy to have a myspace (that's just a dig because one of my DEAREST high school friends told me just the other day that I was too OLD for a myspace. Okay yeah and his point was...?) Haha. Ummm...I would even love to meet friends from junior high or elementary, I mean I look almost exactly the same as far as being the same height -- hell I stopped growing in 4th grade! I even wear the same size shoe! Alas, the jeans don't fit anymore, and the wrinkles are starting to show, but hey I have boobs now. Big ones. Okay I am going off on a tangent. I'm done now.
