About Me Version II
It's time that I write a new About Me Post. This one...seems old...well, not old per se, but in need of some fine tuning.
Yes, I am every bit all of this. But the "all around general misanthrope" is not really misanthropic - though the general public will piss me off from time to time (break free of the herd mentality people!) - but more a cover for extreme shyness. I'm not the walk up to people and introduce myself sort of person. I'm not the life of the party. I will gladly take a seat in the back and watch the action.
Oh, I'll help you pick up the pieces afterwards. I won't leave you out to dry.
But generally, I am the shy, quiet person that makes the excellent impression on your parents. That's me. Getting me to talk is a chore - but easier once you break the walls down. I promise. If you ever meet me in real life, don't be frustrated by my lack of vocal ability. Know that inside my head, I'm quietly freaking out about not talking.
So...what else is "Paperback Writer?"
I'm a writer, artist, dreamer, photographer, cook, supergirl, wife, daughter, hero, gamer, cousin, friend, diva, rat packer, collector of lost things, reader, pianist, driver, actress, sleeper, slacker, secret keeper and all around general misanthrope. I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure I won't like you.

- Making lists

- Music
- My vast collection of rubber stamps
- Pictures
- Journals
- Collecting flotsam and jetson, including overheard pieces of conversation, discarded items and antiquey looking things
- Games (board, video, card and role playing)
- Gardening
- The Jack of All Trades

You know, when I met you in person, I expected you to be much more curmudgeonly, and what you were was this teeny curly-haired cute little thing who was just adorable.
I was immediately charmed by you.
Trouble: You know, you're one of the only peopel I would let get away for calling me this "teeny curly-haired cute little thing who was just adorable."
You're very lucky.
:)
Don't forget the unfailingly polite, super-cute voice. So! Cute! The Voice! And I love your girly freak-outs.
EDW: *sigh*
:)
Yes, yes. The girly freak-outs. So, very few and far between!
