| Introduction | i've been described as mean (more than once). it's not the kind of mean where i tease you until you cry, but i do have a rather wry sense of humor. i'm blessed with the completely endearing (i think) ability to crack myself up. i like other people who crack themselves up too. i can't tell a story without doing the voices of everyone involved. my parents are both actors! i can't help myself. beverages taste better if you drink them through a bendy straw. i sing ALL the time. sometimes i don't even really realize i'm doing it like that kid in "about a boy." i am so completely floored by music so much so that i can't listen to it and do anything else. it's an all 5 senses experience for me that i can't really describe with only words. speaking of words, eloquent people are the best. bad spellers are the worst. i'm trying out this whole "caring about what i do" thing. so far, it's not going well. i really don't like it when people pronounce the word "human" without saying the /h/. i have a variety of extremely personalized pet peeves and phobias. i could go on, but i think that's enough...if you want, you can ask me about some other things i believe to be my ultimate life truths. |
