Being Single in the SLC

Me

So, I have spent an enormous amount of time memorizing what I love about The DJ, and what made him happy. And maybe it's about time to think about myself, and what I love. It might be healthy, yes? *shrugs*

I love spaghetti, and chips and salsa, and McDonalds. I've been told I eat like a 5 year old. But, I don't really care. To add to the immaturity, I love cartoons. Spongebob, Flapjack, Avatar, Foster's. I also love Futurama, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers, Fooly Cooly.

I love Tori Amos, Nine Inch Nails, Ben Folds, Beck, Mindless Self Indulgence. I have an obsession with The Smiths, and Joy Division. Morrissey and Ben Folds have helped me survive a lot of breakups. I am extremely picky about music. I haven't followed any new music in a while. I have just followed the people and bands that I love for years.

I have danced since I was 3. And it has been my passion and release as long as I can remember. Going to the club and dancing has been my happiness. Everytime I have issues or frustration, I head to the club and spend a good few hours dancing it off.

I love artwork, and sculptures. And I absolutely love interior design. I have a fascination with making a house, a home. Especially if it involves me being creative, and having a restrictive budget. Someday I hope to be an interior designer. I love retro fashion, and I've been told by my roomie that my sense of fashion is called 'grannie'. I love florals, antique hats and cloches, vintage shoes. Anything that contains any sense of history.

I love making people pretty. I wish I knew how to paint in photoshop, and I've been teaching myself photomanipulation. I also love drawing portraits. Especially retro portraits of old hollywood. I've drawn pictures of Jean Harlow, Lauren Bacall and Ginger Rogers. I don't draw very often, because I am a perfectionist, and I get easily frustrated when I'm not satisfied with the end product. I've never thought that portrait drawing made me an artist. Because it never required any creativity. I call it copying.

I love movies. I keep up with all of the upcoming films. Although I am extremely picky in what I chose to see. I love comedies, foreign and independent films. My favorite movie is Oldboy. Closely followed by SLC Punk and Amelie. I adore Roger Ebert, Patrick Stewart, Richard Dawkins, and Zach Galifianakis. I love the combination of intelligence and humor. Although humor is my weakness. If you can make me laugh, I will love you forever.

I hope that people think I am smart, and clever, and compassionate. But of course, you never really truly know what people think of you. You can only try to be the best person you can, and hope that people see it. I hope you do.

Just re-found your blog. I stopped reading it because I thought that you had told the DJ about it. Seriously, he was nice enough when I met him and if things had worked out I would have made every effort to like him, but I have to say, I think you deserve someone who gives more. You've said it yourself, you give and give because that's just who you are.

I feel lame telling you this via blog comment, but I just haven't seen you forever. So here it is. I love that you listed these things about yourself, but it seemed like you were still apologizing for it... Embrace the Micky D's and the cartoons and all the rest of it.

When you are ready to do lunch please let me know. MTThF I am working just up the street from your apt [if you are still there], so let's go ok?? I really wish I had known more about what was going on all along. We've been neglectful friends.

Forgive me?

Please don't pickle yourself with all that booze either ok?

With Love,
Ms. Chappell

p.s. Smart, clever and compassionate... check! I love that I can talk politics/religion [or lack there of] with you on a higher level. Most people don't have the attention span for it.

You also forgot beautiful and funny. And lots of other stuff.
