| Introduction | LIKES: chai, cooking, dogs, rollercoasters, organic food, warm weather, kickboxing, random acts of anarchy, fruit, displays of affection, sexual tension, amature photography, emoticons, hilarity, new experiences, skirts, cold beverages consumed via straw, adrenaline rushes, eye contact, my iBook, running around outside, cuddling, nonverbal communication, riddles, (creating and reading) imagery, making art, Mitch Hedberg, Dmitri Martin. DISLIKES: hypocrisy, TV (ESPECIALLY reality TV), superficiality, rudeness, ignorance, apathy, failures to communicate, slow walkers (especially when they're in front of me), bad grammar in formal situations (i.e., it doesn't matter on instant messenger, but it does on menus, books, etc. I can only be so anal), gory/scary movies, the use of "k" in place of "ok" (it seems rude, and it only saves the effort of typing one additional letter...is it worth it?), being taken for granted |
| Interests | Dance, capoeira, sparkling conversation, babysitting, reading, taking long walks, singing in the car/shower, board games, Wikipedia-ing, expanding my vocabulary, the occasional naked protest |
