I really like to find things that are hilarious in every day situations. Some of the funniest things out there are: people falling (not seriously hurting themselves), the face that a toddler makes right after they realize they
have fallen, any unique paroxysm from a nearby stranger, awkward dancing that includes overly active pelvises. That is just what is funny though. I am also very interested in making boring words sound cuter through creative abbreviation. For example: DIAPER becomes DIPE; SANDWICH becomes SAMMERS;COAGULATION becomes THE GYULES. Other than all this, I'm just kind of a good Florida girl.

Anyone who listens as well as they joke, who has any mild obsession with any particular band/artist, who knows a lot about one particular area of study/philosophy/region, who hasn't figured it all out but knows they will, who thinks it is fun to floss as a team, who appreciates life and health, and who can successfully use words like "eleemosynary" in a sentence and make it seem ghetto-cool.
