Sagittarius

The title "Queen of Random" comes to mind. Sometimes insomniac, often workaholic, serious baking addiction, and information junkie. Rootless drifter is an understatement but luckily that's useful in my line of work, though right now I'm stuck in one place for three years going mildly insane while my wanderlust intensifies. Usually found on opening nights dancing on bars or singing while walking down the street, often in the company of some very embarrassed but highly amused friends who are always shocked I'm actually sober. I love to laugh and find nothing better than seeing people smile. I adore 24hour diners and midnight escapades to make mishchief but also day trips to soak in the sun while breathing fresh air and hugging the occasional tree.

People. People interest me, I find them fascinating, heartbreaking, perplexing, and joyful. Brevity is the soul of wit, wit is the soul of humor, and a quick wit and repartee are the best treasures to be found anywhere.

To me that best things in the world are good friends, good music, and good conversation and I am always looking to find more of these things.
