Because I am horribly pretentious, I've decided to list random things about myself so as to give the impression that these things are actually important (and fascinating!):

-I enjoy anything '80's (from The Cure to "Valley Girl", but not Reaganomics), and sometimes referring to myself in the third person (much to the annoyance of those around me.)

-To this day, I believe Jo and Blair were star-crossed lovers kept apart by the cold, cruel world of half-hour sitcoms.

-I love soccer (playing it, watching it, talking/ranting about it, sweetly caressing its face...)

-I enjoy telenovelas (Spanish-language soap operas) because the female leads are usually ridiculously hot and qualified candidates for sainthood (because as a card-carrying member of The Misanthropic Society of America, I am, of course, attracted to good girls; see: "As Good As It Gets.")

-I believe a well-executed zombie flick can tell us a great deal about our society and/or be totally kick-ass.

-As a native Californian, I tend to say things like "totally kick-ass," much more than I should.

-If I could make a living making mixtapes for people, I would. If that's not possible, I'd like to blow up the Death Star...intergalactic heroism has always appealed to me.

-If I haven't scared you away yet, feel free to message me...I promise I won't bite...even if you want me too because, frankly, we just met and I'm not that kind of girl (until the second half of the third date.)

-I am currently in mad, mad lust with this woman...and I don't even play video games:
