Sometimes I think I'm the world's greatest comedian; other times I can hardly contain my cynicism. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, which some folks find hard to take. But included in said trait is a load of enthusiasm and quirkiness. I am fascinated by science, nature, traveling, religion, music, quantum physics, rituals, and human behavior. A bit of a strange bird; my interests and media tastes run slightly askew from mainstream convention. I am always eager to meet new people who actually understand where I'm coming from. Peter Jackson has been my favorite director since 1993. I think Pez is one of the greatest inventions ever. I absolutely adore sushi with extra hot wasabi. I like to pick up spiders. Someday I want to go to Australia. I have a serious weakness for boys with glasses. I am an avid people watcher. And GOD I hate professional sports!! Although I am nowhere near prudish, I am not a big drinker or partier; it's just not my scene anymore. Turning 30 cast a new light on my interest in living healthy and pursuing a real future for myself.... Although the pics are rather slenderizing (the webcam loves me!) I am actually one hellaciously cute fat girl who is pierced, tatooed, dyed, and fucking tired of female value being equated with looking like Pamela Anderson. I detest fat stereotypes. I enjoy a variety of active pursuits; practice good hygeine; and definitely prefer nutritious food over fast food or instant crap. I offer intellect, humor, compassion, worldly experience, strong personal and work ethics, chef-quality cooking ability, and a huge collection of random facts. If you're genuinely interested, and okay with the above, then great!! Let me know! But if you're stuck in the bullshit highschool-style picture-collecting popularity contest, please don't waste my time or yours. (Did I mention that I swear too much?)
