About Me


ABOUT
ME
Conceived on a night ill-forgotten by both mother and father, I was born into the world at the height of my mother's narcolepsy. I dont know. I hate stuff like this. What makes me different? I couldn't tell you. I just know that I'm me ... I'm all the me I can be. And I'm happy with that. =)
I'm pretty laid back and can get along with just about anyone ... unless you're a real asshole. =) As long as you're cool with me, I'll be cool with you. Deal? Fabulous! =) Now ... I've got 2 *awesome* roommates, both of which I'm hella grateful for (did I use that right, chrissy? lol). I'm fiercely loyal when it comes to friends, family, and significant others [when I have one, that is =)] I'm sure I could do a better job of keeping in touch. It's one of my resolutions. I'll let you know how many friends I have at the years end. =) Anyway, I try not to sweat the small stuff (even when it's not so easy). I definitely use my PS2 and I dont think anyone's ever too old for video games. Either you got it or you dont ... and I got it. Haha! Dont hate. =)
I am 49% Video Game Addict.
.. I may play video games but they don't rule my life. Good for me. But I should be careful not to fall in the grasp of the loving glow of the TV or monitor. Take the

Right, so updates: I FINISHED the Chicago Marathon on October 9th, 2005. All 26.2 mi ... Yes!!! =) [and I'll be riding this accomplishment out for a LONG time]. I'm the perpetual student, literally and figuratively, soooo .... if I dont get back to you right away, one of TWO things has happened:
  • I'm taking care of business but I'll get at you as soon as I can

  • OR
  • You came at me crazy, so I'm not going to bother.

  • If you *know* you fall under number 2 (and I believe most people DO... know, that is), maybe you should dust yourself off and try again... or maybe not. =)

    My Interests


    INTERESTS
    OF MINE
    I'm too lazy to list them all. Let's just say I'm a Jack-of-all-Trades, master of none. =) One I will list, though, are these online quizzes ... like the one below...

    Your Seduction Style: The Natural
    You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast. What Is Your Seduction Style?

    Men See You As Playful
    Men want a challenge and you are the perfect playmate
    You know how to push men's buttons and attract a wide range of guys
    You enjoy living and loving - it's one of your most attractive qualities
    Men are often consumed with desire for you, and you love that! How Do Men See You?

    I'd like to meet:

    WHO I'D LIKE
    TO MEET
    Preferably someone with a face. Yeah, faces are definitely hot. And a sense of humor! I don't like to take myself too seriously, so the ability to laugh at yourself is always a good thing. Then again, I'm not looking for a husband, just a few good men ;) I'm hoping to meet various types of people. I'm sure there's something to learn from anyone, (male OR female) and so far I haven't been proven wrong. So don't be the first, okay? ;)
    My ODE to hot footballers ... in honor of World Cup fever. No worries, ladies, more are coming!
