Me: I'm still a student after way too many years. Getting my DMA in voice performance right now, and I want to sing opera where someone will pay me. I hail from South Jersey and I like it that way. Personality-wise, someone a close friend of mine was seeing told me that I'm comparable to a girl's gay male friend. To which I said "Uhhhh...what? So you don't have a fear of me hitting on you but I'm fun to hang out with? Even though I'm not gay?" And he said, no, it's because people feel very comfortable talking to me about practically any topic. And yeah, I suppose that's true. I don't get offended easily, nothing really grosses me out too much and even if it does I'll still have a nice conversation about it. I tend to look at things in a very sensible way and I don't judge. (At least, you don't know about my judging.)

And what other quirky things can I tell you? I played jazz kazoo at one of my undergrad voice recitals. I like singing in operas but I don't always enjoy seeing them. I like to ask the question "Why not?" instead of the question "Why?". I'm never sure in sentences like that where you're supposed to put the period. I have lots of really close long term friends even though my voice teacher told me last year that I'm cold and heartless and need a personality makeover and would have more friends if I would warm up a bit. That was the only voice lesson I've ever cried at because having your personality attacked sucks. I like calling certain individuals the faggist fag of all the fags. I'm not politically correct (can you guess yet?). I wish I had a larger vocabulary. I drive through turns, I don't break. I can relate that last phrase to most things in my life. I like to wear t-shirts with uber-silly sayings on them as a reaction to all the t-shirts with sleazy sayings on them. I like fudge. Chocolate fudge. I'm pretty skinny for someone who eats as much fudge as I do.

I'm not really much into meeting new people online, but I do like finding people I haven't talked to in a while. It's neat finding old friends. I really wonder if the people who hated me in high school would like me now. And I wonder if they've changed. But so far, none of them seems to be on Friendster so oh well. It's really funny looking at pictures of people you haven't seen in years. Wonder if any old friends from high school or earlier would recognize me if they saw me on the street. Probably not. Weird.
