About me: When I was little, I wanted to be a coroner and a ballerina (at the same time). A dancing CSI...that would rock. I've seen every episode of CSI and SVU so many times that I can tell the episode from the opening lines. If I liked boys, a Morrissey-Peter Murphy-Taye Diggs-Peter Steele sandwich would be high on my 'things to do before I die' list. Being a huge nerd(*cough*goth trekkie*cough*)in HS never won me any friends, but now all the cool kids are doing it. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, but I occasionally have fantasies about eating Chik-Fil-A. In grade school, my friend and I watched Dirty Dancing every day for 6 damn months. What? Nobody puts Baby in the corner! Hi, my name is SuMMer, and I like Sandra Bullock Movies. She's a drug;I can't help myself. Maybe I'd have a savings if I didn't spend $$ on Transformers, anime, tattoos, and shows, but my life wouldn't be nearly as fun. I've gone months with only listening to Depeche Mode and the Rent soundtrack. I've finally met the perfect girl, and I'm keeping her.
That's enough for now. If you want to know anything, just ask. :-)
Who I'd like to meet: Jane Austen. Virginia Woolf. ee cummings. Bonnie Parker. The Romanovs. Dr. Michael Baden. Jim Henson. Mr. Rogers. Gina 'Crush' Carano. Diablo Cody. John Cusack. Mariska Hargitay.
