About Me

I like candy and things that are squishy. I can draw pictures with my eyes closed but for some reason they never come out right. I need a haircut. I never throw trash in the designated bins because it's not polite. I like ducks, but not the ugly ones. I'll sing any song as long as it contains the word "la" repeated several times. My boyfriend refuses to eat my favorite food in the world and that's how I know we're gonna be OK. I get angry easily when people shout at me, unless it's something important like which side of the mushroom is which. I guess you could call me music oriented....I like musical people. I don't KNOW what shape my face is or what color sweater goes best with my skin tone, but I do know that I like to play children's video games. I have a Tinkerbell watch and a Wizard of Oz lunchbox and if you catch me on the right day I might be wearing my Fraggle Rock t-shirt. Push-pops were better when they were Flintstones but they're still the best anyway. I can count to 1,000 in 30 languages but I wouldn't be telling a lie if I told you I lied about telling the truth that I could. I'm always the last one in the water and the first one in front of the TV when Lost comes on. And man, I wish I could yodel.

I ♥ this song.

My Interests

Turning people into mermaids (and mermen), dutifully disposing of lunch dropped in the lake, baking cakes for Ping-Pong, listening for the peep-peep of blue-jays, stealing clothes, stuffing picture frames, breaking into houses, takin' naps, playin' Battleship, Super Mario World, Dominoes, Ping-Pong, Connect 4, 20 Questions, Lingo, Hinky Pinky, and Yoshi Tetris but NOT Cranium, makin' milkshakes, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, stuffed shells, spaghetti, and tuna sandwiches, lying to little kids, putting band-aids on boo-boos, sleeping in the trunk, pajama parties, watching every episode of Lost again, and distracting people with butterscotch.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone named Jack. I mean, you just can't go wrong with a name like Jack. Sparrow, Skellington, Shepherd, White, Sawyer....

Fade.

Pushed to the back.A little erased.Pulled under.Memory replaced.Sentiment dulled.Senses undone.Blurred and retracted.Victory won.

Love is giving someone the ability to hurt you,but trusting them not to.
