I have a really hard time describing myself, so this might be hard. I'm a 22year old gal, living in Southern California with my boyfriend. A college dropout as of last semester. I kind of realized I have absolutely no idea what I want in life, and didn't feel like wasting money on a degree that wouldn't do me any good. For now, I'm working at Macys. I'm incredibly liberal, and fascinated with politics. Open-minded, but I know I can be stubborn sometimes. It's something I'm working on. I can roll out a quote from The Simpsons to meet any occasion. I took French in high school, because it seemed more romantic and exciting.Turns out I'm terrible at it, but I tried. I love to cook and bake, but I'm still definitely a beginner. I love love love books. I recently got into comic books, but I would love to read some old, unusual ones. I think I'm funny, but it's debatable. I'm super shy when I first meet people. I have a really weird sense of humor, for example: at a Halloween party one year, my friend and I went to a bakery and had a cake made with a picture of John Stamos on it. There's no reason for it, other than we thought it was the funniest thing in the world to us. This is the same friend who also had a dinosaur party with me. We watched all dinosaur themed movies and made cookies shaped like dinosaurs. So basically, you can send me really weird random things and I'd think it was hilarious.
