I am here for Friends

About Me

*I am hands down the most easy going person you'll ever meet.
*I'll always listen to your advice, I'll take it in and seriously consider it, but don't be offended when I don't take it. I'm not happy unless I'm doing something I whole heartedly believe in.
*I am not a flirt. I have more guy friends than I do girls and I have fun with everyone. No asshole, not that kind of fun.
*If I could I would live off of pomegranates and bananas. I don't understand why people don't pair them up more often, it would be SO awesome.
*I highly doubt I'll ever be having kids but if I do, my sons are going to hate me. They WILL be named Topper and Chaos.
*I'm accident prone. I should be able to park in the handicap spots it's so bad. I've hurt myself on spoons, licorice, my hair, buildings, an apple... the list goes on and on.
*I work at Maggie Moos. I love it. I work with the coolest people and have the most fun at the easiest job on earth.
*Don't thank me for helping you out. I'm not going out of my way to do it, I love helping people out. Maybe if I help you out once in a while you'll help someone else out down the road.
*I adore John Cusack and totally have no problem admitting that I'm going to grow up to be his character in High Fidelity.
*I refuse to watch scary movies unless there is a cute guy present. I just won't do it.
*Green is my favorite color. Ever.
*I know entirely too much about music. All of it. Theory, history, composers, film scores, billboard hits... Don't argue music with me, I'll win.
*I went to a performing arts high school which means I know nothing about dances, football games or cheerleaders,but I can tell you about dance studio etiquette, the things that go on behind practice room closed doors and I know that a jury has nothing to do with a court house.
*I know nothing about baseball but I love the Boston Red Sox solely because of the song Tessie.
*I'm a vegetarian, make all the jokes you want I've heard them before. And to answer all your questions, no I don't eat fish or chicken, I don't wear or use leather and yes, I give head.
*Dinosaurs are my favorite animal. Which is totally valid.
*My brothers (Daniel, Samuel and Christopher) are the coolest fuckers I know. Sayin.
*Don't bother asking me if I've ever seen some movie. I've seen like six in my entire life time. If they don't have David Bowie, John Cusack, a political message, or are a music documentary...I haven't seen it.
*I have an unnatural love for peanut butter. I eat it off of the spoon when I'm upset.
*I drive a 96 Saturn. The weather stripping along the driver side door leaks, the gas gage is totally broken, there's some weird gross brown liquid in one of the cup holders since I got it and it runs out of oil every four days. If you feel like buying me a new car, I'd be ok with that.
*Yea, I'm from Orange County. No, I didn't have all movie stars for neighbors but I do love Pinks.
*I hate math but I love numerology.
*ROADHEAD is written all over everything I own. If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.
*I make terrible decisions but I can get my way out of anything.
*I don't adhere to speed limits. I get pulled over... a lot.
*Gollub park is my home away from home. Stop bringing your women up there, the stains are getting a little much.
*I love the food network. But just at night.
*I fall for musicians. I can't help myself.
*I'm a writer, I went to school for it (for about 15 minutes), I can quote everything from Dickens to Plath and back, but Dr. Seuss is still my all time favorite. I love anything Dr. Seuss. Boys know if you get in a fight with me, don't buy me flowers, buy me Dr. Seuss stuff.
*You won't shock me. I've seen it all. Seriously. Don't filter yourself and watch your words around me. My ears aren't as pious as you'd like to think. I can handle it.
*DO NOT talk to me about myspace/facebook. I hate them both. They are a source of entertainment. They are not gospel truth so don't call me up and tell me that you saw on facebook that blah blah blah happened. I'll hang up on you and never speak to you again.
*I use big words. I talk like a pretentious snob. I'm really not, I just can't stand unintelligent conversation
*I'm Jewish...kinda. By that I mean I know way too much about the religion to say I don't follow every aspect of it. Some of it I believe and follow some of it I think is total shit. I put up with the jew jokes, but for real. They're lame. I mean you can't think of something more creative than hating on a jew? REALLY?
*I have boobs. Don't bother staring at them, they don't do tricks.
