procrastinating, singing along, knitting, unitards, things that hang from the ceiling, Rio Guadalquivir, screen printing, dancing until I'm dizzy, making biscuits, notebooks and journals, people watching on the train, epiphanies, my Oneonta State sweatpants, Loopy Yarns on State Street, when my friends visit me at work, life-altering conversations, walking down the street to the beat of the perfect song, a really good hug, the hilarity of my family, Law and Order marathons, boots, those moments in life that are so exciting it feels like there should be a soundtrack behind it, curry, when you're having a bad day and your mom calls out of the blue.

Alise Catherine Barrett.
For demonstrating the most genuine inner and breathtaking outer beauty I've ever witnessed in a human being.
And for being a constant source of inspiration in my life since the day we met until the day we die.
My astrologer says I could make friends with a doorknob. I prefer people. Smart and funny ones, if you got 'em.
I pick my nose without hesitation.
Don't let the luscious hair fool you.
I'm a dude's girl, through and through.
I know how to do a lot of things. I rarely do them.
I probably wouldn't be as nice if I didn't have so many customer service related jobs throughout my life. Then again, I probably wouldn't be as bitchy if I didn't have to work around assholes all the time. It goes both ways.
The things I complain about most are usually the things I love the most.
I go into fits of nostalgia frequently.
I love a messy floor. I love a clean floor just as much.
I'm into astrology. If you aren't now, you will be when I'm through with you.
I really hate it when people interrupt me. That being said, I tend to interrupt people.
I'm afraid of clowns, ladders, and silverfish. Once I was painting a wall while standing on a tall ladder. A silverfish slithered past me and I almost fell off the ladder and into a puddle of a clown's tears. Except there wasn't a clown or his tears. The rest is true though.
I am an eternal hostess. Mother of lost lambs and touring bands.
My decisions are eternally run by my reactions to the world around me. Oh, and by my reactions to other people's reactions to my initial reactions.
I love that feeling when you're in a bar and hear a song that you absolutely have to dance to. When you have to drop everything you're doing and sprint out onto the dance floor and jump around like no one else is there.
I have a hunch that I produce an unusual amount of testosterone for a girl. If only that were the case with lactase. I miss ice cream.
I can dish out a guilt trip like you've never seen.
A lot of my principles have been derived from The Point. I will get a dog and name him Arrow one day.
I am melancholy in rooms with white and/or bare walls.
I will probably insult you or creep you out. But you'll love me anyway.
I'm not as wise as I sound. My life is a joke.
I almost win at poker every time.
I'm wonderfully obnoxious.
I have never and will never throw up from drinking. Ever. Strongbelly for all of eternity.
My entire family, immediate and extended, is from New Jersey. This will explain a lot about me.
Someday I want to live in a house made entirely of handmade or re-purposed items. Nothing shall be in its original form. Everything one-of-a-kind.
I like telling stories. Get used to it.
I disappear sometimes. Usually it's because my phone is lost or broken. Sometimes I just don't want to hang out with you.
I really really really like the Beach Boys. I talk about them a lot.
I've got direction now. It's a pretty great feeling.

Who I'd like to meet:
People willing to make waves. Excitations. Spontaneity. Etc.
Those who can dance to almost anything, but protest songs based on principle.
Vibes and glocks.
People who make things. Knitters, especially.
Those who don't mind my squalor.
More jerks.
People who like Indian food.
Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble experts.
Big tippers.
Move-makers.
A royal flush.
Someone to take me to breakfast in the afternoon.
Dirtybirds.
