About Me

I'm not a punctual person; I tend to miss deadlines. I like being on the edge of the spotlight. I'm somewhat of a misanthrope. I sew, knit and craft xxhardcorexx. I go for scruffy indie boys with 7 oclock shadows. I drive a 90 Volvo station wagon that I call Big Mama. My taste in music is damn good. I'm an eclectic. My favorite sense is touch; hearing is my second. I collect vintage knitting pattern books pre-1980. I like to look under rocks. Most of my Saturday nights are spent watching bad movies on the Sci-Fi channel. I'm cyclothymic (mildly bipolar). I like the sounds of slide guitars and banjos. Awkward silence is funny. I want to be the eccentric aunt when I get older. I dance when Im alone. I wear contacts. I like my feet.
I like: Espresso Vodka, Airports, Iron Chef, Bukowski, Chartreuse, Adult Swim, Organized Messes, Salvador Dali , Being Creative, Dangly Earrings, Blankets, PBR, Make-believe Bands, Espresso, Elliott the Moose, Stolen Kisses, Turkish Coffee, Scruffy Indie Guys, Hardcore Crafting, Being Eccentric, Magnetic Poetry, La Guitarra Mia, Kappa, Muchas Sonrisas, My iPod, Finding New Bands, Writing, My Eclectic Music Collection, Observing, Overactive Imaginations, Changing My Profile A Lot
I don't like: Yellow, Big Dogs, Pelting Rain, Closed-Minded people, Telephones, Weird Mouth Noises, Talking Babies, Wood Chippers, Spiders, Writing Papers, Clutter, W, Tequila, Snow
