About me

first i should say that i have an aversion to capital letters. i don't know why. secondly, sometimes i'm that girl who can't remember if she turned off the stove. you know the one: "did i turn off the stove? yes. yes, i'm sure i did. i'm sure it's off. hmmm. i'll be right back." but only sometimes. ANYway...about me. i'm 32. never been married (engaged once...does that count? for what?). i own my own home. i like peanut butter (creamy and crunchy, depends on my mood). i REALLY like diet coke. i'm a graduate student @ osu pursuing a master's degree in victorian literature. i'm in love with books. i appreciate a wicked sense of humor. i love to travel. i don't have cable, and am constantly being made fun of for it. i'm active (meaning i tend to feel like i should be up doing something when i'm not...up doing something--which doesn't mean that i don't have lazy days every once in a while [wow this is a pretty long parathetical statement, isn't it?]).

that about sums it up.
