About Me

My name is Marla. I'm a smartass with a heart of gold. I like cereal, sandwiches with lots of French's mustard, sushi and Diet Coke. I like to read books that make me laugh. I like true crime tv, and movies about just about anything. I love to play on the internet, knit and crochet. I am very creative and I like to make things. I work in radio. I have a boyfriend. His name is John and he's an artist. We have two cats.

My Interests

I like to learn how to do new things, so I dabble in quite a lot. Knitting and crocheting are probably my favorite things to do, but I also do a variety of other "crafty" things from time to time. I like things that are handmade. I love to make things for other people, so don't be surprised if I ever gift you with a toilet tissue cozy!

I'd like to meet:

People. Nice people. Smart people, or at the very least, witty people. If you can't handle sarcasm, you won't like me. If you can't handle the truth, you will hate me. and if you want someone to pay a lot of attention to you, it probably won't be me. but I'm utterly loyal, and once you're my friend, you're always my friend. Unless you turn out to be a jerk.

Music:

I like quite the variety of music. Take a gander at my playlist.

Movies:

Indiana Jones. Star Wars. The Lord of the Rings. Bridget Jones' Diary. Terms of Endearment. Rebecca. Winnie the Pooh. The Color Purple. Anchorman. Blades of Glory. I could go on and on...seriously.

Television:

Family Guy. Frisky Dingo. Mummy Forensics. Most Evil. City Confidential. Cold Case Files. Dexter. Weeds. The Flight of the Conchords. Rome. The Daily Show. The Colbert Report. Ninja Warrior. Ghost Hunters. Dr. Who.

Books:

Anne Rice. Stephen King. Sophie Kinsella. Helen Fielding. Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman. Nora Roberts. Lots and Lots more!

Heroes:

Gautama Siddhartha. My Mom.
