Let's start with this simple fact that no one seems to get... I will NOT be your booty call.

Despite what some may suggest, I am one of my word. I am agitated by creatures of habit. I am a creature of habit. I believe people are largely good and even the most stupid things are done with the most noble intentions. The only thing stopping me from running away is I would have to take myself.

There are many things I would throw away if I were not afraid others may pick them up. I am not young enough to know everything. I don't save ticket stubs or receipts ... but I can save face pretty well. I remember conversations word for word.

I love December. Wisdom often comes from winters. Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong. I'd rather be the master of words I never said than the slave of words I did ... Though those close to me know I still have trouble holding my tongue.

I like people better than principles. I hate how afternoons look. I almost never say the right thing. I wish on 11:11. I make endless to-do lists that never make it to paper, and play the same song on repeat for a week. I hold fingers instead of hands, prefer arms to pillows, and tend to say "please and thanks" at once when asking a favor. I love music mostly for the lyrics.

I hate missed phone calls and empty promises. I’d paint my life story over writing it. Brightly bold or softly delicate. Maybe a little of both. I hold grudges yet still forgive too easily at times. My favorite shoes are any pair of cute heels... I like to dress cute and keep my vulgar mouth while doing it. I'm insanely stubborn. I prefer dive bars to big noisy clubs. I hate rollercoasters (Magic Mountain-esque) But Disneyland is one of my favorite places ever. I also tend to ramble. Clearly.

I'd rather stay in than go out more often than not. This includes dinners and what not. Unless I need sushi. Yes, need. (Preferrably Katsuya...mmmm)

I love camping and random adventures but am in no way ever prepared for it and hardly ever go unless someone else is organizing it.

I laugh too loud and too often but if I'm bummed, just let me ride it out. I'll be okay eventually.

I like meeting new people but as I've gotten older I guess I've gotten lazy about it and would rather stay home and watch the learning channel, discovery channel, movies, listen to music or read a good book.

I like to stick to coffee or drinks...dinners can be awkward and you're stuck for the duration of the meal which can sometimes be incredibly uncomfortable.

Go ahead and message me if:

If you read my insanely long profile and you can carry on a conversation for more than five minutes without making me want to slit my own throat... You should also have a good command of the English language and be able to carry on an intelligent conversation as well as a silly one.

If you're a fan of Eddie Izzard and/or know what happened to my dvd's of his stand up routines. They've gone missing.

Also, if you're a man whore, leave now.
