About Me

I am an enigma consisting of this pseudo-adult I always think I am and a faint mirage of my teenage-self. An OCD perfectionist (redundant?…perhaps) that just can’t seem to get anything right the first hundred times. I love being responsible and a “40 year old prude”, yet I find myself enjoying spontaneous carnival trips and giggling and making myself dizzy from riding the Tilt-a-Whirl 4 times in a row. I am all about being green but I don’t always recycle. We could be jamming together to 50 Cent and then the next minute you could be making fun of me for having the soundtrack to Riverdance. I probably know more about political issues than you but you probably know more about Victorian literature than me. Either way, ask my opinion, it’s probably the most valuable non-professional, biased opinion you’ll ever receive. My IQ is pretty up there but my ADD renders that credential useless as evidenced by my fragment sentences. I try not to curse. I love my mommy (most of the time). I don’t really drink as much as people my age but will be more than willing to go wine tasting any day. I like my symphonies 18th and 20th century – that 19th century stuff is just too pretentious for me. I like my wines white and my beers cloudy and non-filtered. I have my degree in Linguistics and American Studies. I love my leaky-eyed cat and my fat, lazy cat. I don’t make my bed when no one is going to see it. I like that my ringtones are mostly Disney and video game soundtracks. I’ll probably fall in love with the first guy that can sing to me. I can’t eat cheese but put it into everything that I cook. I secretly love seeing other people singing and dancing in their cars and having a great time. I secretly hate seeing girls with extremely dry, bleached, flat-ironed hair. I hate (and love, depending on how people tell me) being told that I’m not gay enough. I watch football and Project Runway. I watch ESPN and HGTV. I buy way too many shoes. I buy way too many DVDs and electronics. I don’t buy enough new clothes. I am a minimalist and clutter gives me headaches. Friends and family are everything to me. I don’t like anyone taking me for granted or I don’t take flakiness from anyone. I hate yappy dogs. I love big dogs. I hated cats before, now I love them. I also like pet rats. I believe that love isn’t the absence of problems, but the ability to pull through those problems together.
