God is so smart...like Jeopardy smart.

About Me

I’m an easy going control freak and I’m a pretty active lazy person. I’m left handed and left winged. I eat meat and I heart Jesus and fish sticks. I have over 400 PEZ and I’m not really fond of ice cream, potatoes or Neil Young. The city of Chicago is my boyfriend and the band Chicago is my nemesis. I love spending time by myself because I usually prefer the company. I like geeks but not goons, I find animated people sexier than real people, and Steely Dan makes me want to stab things. I consider myself a corporate bohemian and I'm a fan of chunky black boots, blankies, kissing and my kitties. I think the sexiest part of a man rests between their ears and above their chin. I've been created and cultivated by God, sex, and circumstance but not necessarily always in that order. I love to people watch and enjoy kicking back and chatting with friends. I love laughing and do it as often as I can. I prefer mini golf courses to trendy night clubs and I prefer hot dogs on a park bench over a fancy 10 course meal. I try to be pleasant to everyone if I can, and I find common courtesy a dying art. If I had to name the colour that is on my bedroom walls I would call it baby poo and I think the game SPUD is my favourite outdoor activity ever. I think about creating art more than it actually happens. *sniff*, I describe actions with ** and dramatic pauses with... My NYE resolution was to explore my taste buds over that of their fourth grade realm and I'm teaching myself to cook. I post a question of the day on my blog, I kick serious Uno ass, I brake for reality tv, and I heart zombies...oh, and I have a thing for doll heads too. Oh yeah, and on the occasion I will post stupid surveys and such on my bullies depending on the stress/avoidance factors in my life...they're such lovely tools for the art of procrastination!

My Interests

As varied as the people I know. Some of the ones that are on the top of the list are: writing, photography, traveling, movies (especially horror), quantum physics, playing, books, music, the paranormal, being nice, cosplay (and Dragon con), provoking the thoughts of others, and taking little adventures. Two of my life goals are to visit each continental US state before I'm 50 (I'd like to include Hawaii and Alaska, but they're more of an option) and be in a horror movie. I heart zombies, road trips, salad fingers, special fx stuff, conversations, studying human behaviorisms, discovering new bars and new beers, kissing and my kitties to name a few.Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

I'd like to meet:

Creative-type people. People that like to answer questions. People that know life's serious and all that, but can still enjoy it for all its absurdity. Horror fans. Jimmy Carter. And of course, there's always Salad Fingers...

And who I DON'T want to meet are all the people (with just one photo)who have been hurt or have lost at love and are looking for their one true person (angel, soul mate, etc)...who I can conveniently contact via AIM or yahoo. I am not the one you want, please move on for you are spam to me. And please, if you are not into spelling at all, please do not hit me up with text type because I'm not a fan of it one bit. I'm a fan of the written word and it throws me off when it's all jacked up.

Television:

I watch reality tv when I can. Amazing Race, Survivor, Kitchen Nightmares, Wife Swap...yep...even Wife Swap, it's a hoot. I'm also kinda addicted to the food network challenges.

Storms from the Tim Dorsey books. He's insane but very entertaining.

Heroes:

Whenever someone I know does something nice for me I always ask them, did you ever know that you're my hero? so I guess possibly anyone...especially my friend Coye, my boy Marcus, (and my boyfriend Jimmy Carter too).
