to satisfy the obligatory "getting to know you's" that constitute default conversation at cocktail parties:
i have a communications degree. i have a nonprofit job. i do good things and it pays the bills. i live "up north" and only my name is on the mailbox. i am from a small town in the hill country and moved to austin in 2005 from corpus christi (corpus crusty, more like). i have no current plans to relocate.
now, on to the things that can't be answered on a job application:
i have a deep penchant for music. i have no musical ability whatsoever (at least not the kind that will get me laid). i will play the same song on repeat for days and sing along poorly until someone intervenes. if i were to be discovered lifeless in a seedy hotel room on the shady side of town near the tracks on a rainy night, the sole object found on my person would be an ipod and it would have badass playlists on it. score for you, detective.
i can't decide if a decent tan is worth the possible melanoma. i stole that line from an e-card. i'm not that witty unless i'm drinking. even then, i laugh at my own jokes and ruin the fun for everyone. so sad.
i have a debilitating fear of loneliness which i think stems from growing up as a fat kid. haha! no, seriously.
i over-think everything and am never very certain about things of little consequence. the major things, i'm concrete on. i'm a part-time cynic but a full-time romantic. i guess that negates the cynicism and reduces my romanticism to half. i suppose then i'm 50% romantic, 25% analytical, 15% dubious, 10% resolved and 5% bad at math.
i sometimes like to take baths with candles and wine and music. i'm man enough to admit that. or am i woman enough?
there are two doors to my bathroom but i only use one of them for reasons that are unknown to me.
running shoes are a serious purchase in life and one i don't take lightly. the same goes for beer and wine. and hair product.
in a group setting, i have a terrible time deciding on a restaurant. just terrible. i can always decide on my drink though.
coffee is a necessity. as is laughter, love and friendship.

LOST by David Wagoner
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
Aquarius
You are very random, changing moods everyday. You are very genuine, and you like to do a lot sexually. When you find something that you like, you like it a lot and want your lover to like it too.
Ideally you like to find a partner who is as into sex as you are. You want a lover who is just as independent as you are and you like an equal amount of give and take in the sack.
Sex matches: Aries, Gemini, Libra
The Scientist of the Zodiac, Aquarius is ruled by URANUS, and its symbol is the WATER-BEARER. Its natural place is the ELEVENTH HOUSE, the house of Friendships and Experimentation. Revolutionary Aquarius is an AIR sign, idealistic and inventive. Aquarius often has mood swings, optimistically reforming the social structure one minute, then despondent at the impossibility of perfect happiness the next.
