Mr. West... would you like to see my doll collection?
i am the quite adaptable, the spastic, the generous. able. meandering. clever. grounded. too grounded. flirtatious. overzealous. bossy. funny. inventive. opinionated. considerate. impulsive. kind. inappropriate. hyper-focused. easily distracted. driven. chatty. intuitive. talented. dirty. exhibitionisticalatory.
i am the quite quite. so are you.
i will try to make you laugh first, learn your name second.
some people see this as a fault.
i avoid drama to the point of running out of the room.
i lose my footing a little around pecking orders and haughty attitude... so spare me if your default is dismissal.
i hate getting the short end of the stick. i do.
love peanut butter. hate strawberries.
i eat the parsley garnish even if i don't clean my plate.
expert tree climber. except when i fall out and land on my head. big deal.
and for a guy who doesn't cry a lot, i seem to shed many a tear on airplanes and on my bicycle. what's that about? seriously. if you know why, shed some light on a brother.
i've got an incredible, hot, talented boyfriend, who keeps me on a very long leash. i love to flirt, chat or otherwise engage wit the mens and then tell him about it afterwards.
Who I'd like to meet:
creative smartie pantseseses. no college degree required.
people who make their own mold, not ones who jump into whichever one is, uh, popular.
crazy bitches with genuine styyyyyle.
people with expression lines on their faces.
people with expressions on their faces.
other tauruses [i always get along with 'em.]
also, scruffy blondes with furry forearms. and boys with a well-turned calf.
actually im about to FINALLY catch a full nights sleep since like.. friday.. so i guess that answers your question right there. P.S. papi is quite a turn off for any spanish speakign person mister :)
Clearly, I mean the first one. Which to my mind seems bum-my because you're making a face which I read as: "What do you mean I smell like whiskey and cat!? Just let me sit here on the ground with my sweet mustache and this picture of some dude."
I could be reading the picture entirely wrong, admittedly.
The fantasyland mountain photo isn't of Mt. Whitney, it's taken at the top of Kearsarge Pass, a few days before Whitney. Technically it's not on the JMT; we had to hike off, and over the pass, to pick up our last food drop.
How are you? Please explain that *amazing* photo of you as an old bum. (or maybe just not done up? ;-)
