ABOUT ME

Okay, I have no idea what the hell I should write here but I'll try to be as interesting and candid as possible. I love humor, sounds cliche but I have a heightened sense of humor and would definitely appreciate a person who could complement that. Hmm lets see, I love smart people. I love really crazy people. I'm an avid writer, mostly creative b/c I don't think I have the craft to be a good non-fiction writer yet. Ironically enough, I read mostly non-fiction. I'm also trying to become more environmentally conscious (yes, I've fell into the green movements mental traps). Again, I'm no where near as serious or pretentious as I'm sounding right now! I love to dance but don't care much for clubs and love nightlife. I'm an amateur film buff. I'm a foodie, love to cook and watch cooking shows. Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batalli rock! I also spend an unhealthy amount of time on youtube and facebook. Let's see...what else? I'm a vegetarian. I'm an Independent. I'm an activist. I'm an aunt, a sister, a daughter, a friend.
