It's another tequila sunrise...
...and this old world still looks the same...
Name:~* Tequila Sunrise *~
Website:Myspace... tequilasunrise78
Location:Southern California... which is spelled T-R-A-F-F-I-C, United States
Birthdate:07-12
Bio:First off, consider yourself warned... I never said I was normal.

So, who am I? That's the big question, isn't it? Sometimes I think I have it figured out, other times I'm not so sure... but this is probably a good place to start.

[[ Who I Am ]]

Blessed. Late 20's (damn, it hurts not to be able to get away with "mid-20's" anymore). Smartass (this, however, will never change). Christian. SoCal native. Kolidge grajamit. Animal lover. Shy (until you get to know me... or you get me drunk). Music freak. A dork. Laid back. Dependable. Sweet. Affectionate. Easily amused. Anaheim Angels fanatic. (Yes, ANAHEIM Angels. I will be bitter about this until the day they change it back.) Goofy. Loving. Loyal. One of the best friends you could ever have. A kick-ass drinking buddy. Usually intelligent (but my momentary lapses don't count if I've been drinking or if I'm really, really sleepy). Educated. Caring. A hopeless romantic. Easy going (but when I do get irritated, watch out). Mathematically challenged. Asthmatic. Trustworthy. Witty (or so I'm told). Fun. A spectacular kisser (again, so I've been told... but you won't find me disagreeing). A kid-at-heart. Procrastinator (or as my friends put it, prokristenator). Headache sufferer. Rambler (in case you hadn't noticed). Single (but quite a damn catch for some very lucky guy... someday). Old enough to know better but still too young to care.


[[ A Few Things That Make Me Happy ]]

Friends. Family. Music. The Halos. Baseball. Chris Isaak (and his band Silvertone). Animals. Books. Laughing. Hugs. Alcohol. Sleep. Pajamas. Sydney, Australia. Garfield. Eddie Izzard. Movies that make sense. Michael Buble'. Ice cream. Chris Rock. Calvin & Hobbes. Rain. Thunderstorms. Concerts. Chocolate. Peanut butter. Peanut butter & chocolate. Comedy. Flying. Goofing off. 93.1 JACK FM. Mr. Bean. Rum & coke. Reading. San Diego. San Francisco. Silver. The ocean. Zoology. Stephen King. People who know how to use the correct form of your/you're and their/there/they're. Tigers. Space. Not getting stuck in traffic. Mint anything. Weekends. Dean Koontz. The moon. The Red Sox. Lazy days. The beach. Johnny Carino's. Any day I don't have to work. Those old classic Looney Tunes ("Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" That shit still cracks me up. Yes I'm 12. Bite me). Seafood. Patron Silver. Planes. Stargazing. The Far Side. SoCal weather.

Speaking of which...

The WeatherPixie


[[ A Few Things That Piss Me Off ]]

Rude people. Stupid people. Stupid people who can't drive. Stupid people who can't follow directions. Stupid people who spread their stupidity around (it's contagious, you know). Stupid people who breed. Onions. Waiters who think I'm kidding when I tell them no onions. Ignorance. The Yankees. Customers. People who insult my intelligence. People who lie to me. Condescending and/or patronizing assholes. The fact that I can't park my big-ass car in my dinky-ass garage. The fact that my neighbors are inconsiderate chodes and that my second-floor apartment is the filling in an assclown sandwich. People who don't understand the concept of a turn signal or looking before changing lanes. People who have no concept of proper spelling or grammar. PeOpLe wHo TyPe lYkE tHiS. Kathy Griffin. The way my very expensive lipliner always breaks off when I try to sharpen it. The fact that I can't apply eyeliner at all. The fact that I wear glasses. SoCal drivers. SoCal traffic.


[[ Random ]]

* I can remember random, useless crap, such as '80s TV theme songs, odd medical factoids, and various points of trivia, but ask me what I just walked into the room for and I will have no fucking clue.
* I'm random and goofy. Very goofy. Generally speaking, I'm usually pretty quiet and low-profile. But I do have my moments.
* I'm very easily amused. Almost too easily. I can find humor in the most random, bizarre, and/or mundane things. I love laughing. It's my favorite workout, the only one I can seem to commit to daily. I laugh easily enough as it is and am prone to fits of the giggles. And if I've had a bit to drink or I'm extremely sleepy, watch out.
* I've been told that I'm smart, and I like to think that it's true. If you add "ass" to the end of it, then I know it's true.
* I've also been told that I'm witty. Again, someone else's claim, not mine. Not to say that I don't agree with it; I do believe I can be pretty damn funny at times. Not always, but again, I have my moments. A friend once told me a good name for me would be Sprita, which means witty in Esperanto. This is very flattering, but I'm glad she explained it 'cause at first I thought she was talking about a soft drink.
* There are parts of certain movies and stand-up routines that I can quote verbatim. (Want some Eddie Izzard or Chris Rock? I'm your girl.)
* I can bend backwards at an angle that some people consider freakishly far. Make of that one what you will.
* I'm pretty easy-going, but nothing, and I mean nothing, pisses me off faster than if you're rude. In person, on the phone, on the road, doesn't matter. I'm not rude to you, so there's no reason for you to be rude to me. Maybe you've had a bad day, I understand that, as goodness knows I have my fair share of them. But I don't take them out on other people, and neither should you. You shouldn't take it out on ME, at any rate. Common courtesy, motherfuckers.
* I'm very shy and quiet until one of two things happens: either you get to know me, or you get me drunk. Once I'm comfortable enough with you I'll reveal my inner dork, who I truly am, and over time you may start to miss when I used to be quiet (what I'm sure some of my friends refer to as "the good old days").
* I have the memory of a tree stump and will often repeat myself.
* I can type really fast, but there are times when my fingers become dyslexic and do not follow the orders that my brain is giving them, with bizarre, sometimes humorous results.
* I have the memory of a tree stump and will often repeat myself.
* I have moments where I am exceedingly clumsy, and walk into walls, desks and filing cabinets on a pretty regular basis. In fact, I'm pretty sure my head is magnetically attracted to these items. And of course, 98% of the time there are witnesses.
* Wait, what was I saying?
* I am a spelling and grammar whore. Always have been. In high school my friends had me proofread their papers before turning them in. Seeing words misspelled or sentences like, "If your going to visit you're cousins make sure to look at there vacation pictures while your their" drives me up the fucking WALL.
* sO dO PeOpLe wHo TyPe lYkE tHiS.
* I also have a bizarre talent for spelling, even words I've never seen or heard before. If I'm not dead-on I'm usually pretty damn close.
* I am allergic to penicillin and any of its derivatives. So if you ever find yourself in the situation where you have to take me to the hospital, please don't let them give me any of these.
* I hiccup randomly, loudly, and for no reason at all. My coworkers are endlessly amused by this, and comments suggesting I've got a stash of hooch in my desk are tossed out daily. Although I will admit that I do sometimes sound like Otis staggering into the Mayberry town jail, I do not in fact have a bottle of Captain in my desk or a flask in my pocket. The liquid in my travel mug is nothing more than water, sometimes tea, and if I'm feeling really adventurous (or semi-comatose), perhaps a Rockstar. Unless it is offered for a special occasion, I do not drink at work. If I did I would be much happier.
* I ramble. In case you hadn't noticed.
* 95% of the time, I'd rather go to a baseball game than go shopping. (Angels baseball, baby. Awww yeah.)
* I have a deep and innate love of Sydney and all things Australian.
* I have never done any type of drug in my life, aside from those prescribed by a doctor. But I will drink until I can't remember who you are.

And yes, I have a tendency to snort when I laugh. You got a problem with that?
