I'm a consummate nerd. It's not that I seek it out; nerddom comes to me. Or is attributed to me. Whichever.

I work 40 hours a week at a job I'm completely ambivalent to, and I like to drink because that feels like the complete opposite to work for me. I also jampack my schedule with all manner of nonsense I know I'm not going to be able to realistically do with my work schedule, but I really hate missing out on anything. Consequently, I seldom get an appropriate amount of sleep.

My parents are both extroverts. Both of my sisters lean on the extroverted side of the spectrum. I've always been more introverted (not at all anti-social; just needing some time for myself) and independent. My mother says that I always wanted (needed?) time alone when I was a kid, and that they never had to worry too much about me, because I was pretty independent. I learned to read and write before I was three years old, and entertained myself doing such.

When I was in Elementary school, my parents never grounded me from TV: They always grounded me from non-school related books. That was torture. They really knew how to straighten my act up.

I'm always up for something fun. Even if it doesn't really sound fun, If the person who wants to hang out is excited about it, that makes me want to check it out at the very least. I'm all about experiencing new ****, whether it's resultant from a call at three in the morning, or a pre-planned adventure. I prefer spontaneity though. I mean, I'll keep the plans regardless, barring some huge issue at home, but spontaneity is my jam.

I like to relax alone, also. I need time to recharge. This may be where my sleep deprivation comes in, because I need time to think and "just do me." Not in a sexual manner (okay, not usually) but just to have time to think, write, play music, watch wrestling from an analytical standpoint, check out TV and movies...I really need more hours in my day. And less of my body naggin' me to sleep all the time.

I am horrible for making puns. I don't know what comes over me. One of my worst is that anytime someone says anything is/was intense, my immediate response is, "Like camping!"

I know. It's really not that funny, but I can't stop myself. I don't know what my problem is. I also like to randomly quote movies, although this can often prove to be at inopportune times. My intention is to alleviate my own personal tension and make light of a situation, but it's gone to extremes on a few instances. One was a sexual experience, in which I was so nervous and unsure of what to do, that I decided for some reason that quoting "There Will Be Blood" would be hilariously awesome: "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"

Turns out, it wasn't.

I'm always the one who wants to do something wild and spontaneous amongst my group of friends. They'll be all, "We haven't gone bowling in a while," and I'll be down, but sometimes, I'm all, "Let's drive to Cincinnati (two and a half to three hours a way) and paint the town red!"

I get restless.

I like wearing my default uniform of skinny jeans, Sperrys or Toms, and t-shirts with a hoodie of late. I also always, always, always have my black frame glasses on. Sometimes I wear my hair up, if it's flat and lifeless. If I've just taken a shower and decided to let it air dry, I wear it down, because it's wavy and looks like I spent time curling it or some ****.

I also love both of my main axes more than anything in this world, (their names are DJ Jazzy Jeff and Milla) and actually almost cried when my uncle picked up DJ Jazzy Jeff to play and dropped him.

Also, people like me. I don't really know why, but they do. Even if I'm uncomfortable wanting to go home and curl up in my bed with my laptop and a blanket, people are all up in my ****. It may be attributed to my inability to be mean. Who knows.
