Favorite Things:
I like it when Will Ferrell screams,
I like when any man sings in falsettos,
I like rap music. It's not crap music,
I like mash-ups. So two more more songs jammed together. Usually it's how they make crappy artists good artists.
I like bunnies, particularly mine, Jason Rose David Yost. With his winter coat he gains muttonchops and a fashion mullet as seen in my avatar.
I like pillows.
I like reading. My favorite movements are British Romanticism, American Modernism (including the Harlem Renaissance), the Beat Generation, Southern Gothic, and anything with stream of consciousness or alternating point of view.
I like sleeping.
I like the smell of new shoes, Canadian Tire (or just tires), and permanent markers.
I like to name things (anything) and usually those names are weird.
I like to be talked to (don't be afraid to comment, contrary to popular myth I don't bite (IT WAS A ONE TIME THING!)
I like poetry, a nice glass of scotch, and my friend Baxter here...
About Me:
I never wear socks anywhere, unless it's absolutely imperative that I do so. If I can go barefoot in shoes I will. If I can go barefoot period. I will.
I have named my iPod Miranda 2 (my old iPod Miranda had to be taken out back and shot), my computer Lupé, my TV Mulvin, my DVD player Selma 2 (Selma one died), my DS Clay Aiken, my fan Bond, my Wii Cordell, and Hank my Blackberry.
I make up haikus in the shower.
I'm an existentialist.
I'm a hard headed feminist
I'm a vegetarian.
I love to cook, but not to eat.
I speak English and French and can get by in German.
I have hyperthymesia, meaning I remember everything. Contrary to what Poppy Montgomery may have you believe, it is not like Unforgettable.
I also suffer from congestion headaches, migraines and cluster headaches. Occasionally I will get all three at once. I call it 'The Perfect Storm.'
About my Stories:
A playlist is complied for each chapter, sometimes specific areas of the chapter (such as flashbacks) or characters, and then put on repeat until said chapter is complete. This leads to the same music being played over and over and over. I go a little crazy.
I also have a hard time committing to a story, generally because I'm under the belief that I am in fact ADD or ADHD. Anyway stories usually don't get completed within the same year, and they're generally about pregnancy - it fascinates me.
And that I apologize for the grammatical and spelling errors in my profile (I feel it gives me a more down to earth relation with normal people (That and I can't proofread everything people).

And finally have a lovely, morning/afternoon/day/evening/night/early morning
