GiRLFRiEND APPLiCATiON
- What is your name? Amy - What is your relationship status? Single. Like, just me and my vibe, haven't even had a date in a while single. (I am not super social and am hoping teh interwebz will help with teh social anxieties in meeting people...) - Where do you live? Will you date girls who don't live there? I live in the suburbs near Chicago right now. That might change soon. I'm job hunting and hoping to start a PhD program this fall and at this point not quite sure where I'll end up. For now I'd like to date girls around here though because I want to actually *do* things like go out. - How old are you? 24 - Are you a student? If so, what are you studying? I just finished my Masters in Biotechnology. For my PhD I want to study Reproductive Endocrinology. It's basically all Biology-based; I did my undergrad in Biology at Illinois State. For the time being though I'm not taking any classes. - Do you work? If so, what do you do? I have a part time crap job in a real estate office answering phones and doing whatever little crap work needs done. I keep hoping to find a real job/internship in a lab but there's not much to be had.
- How would you define your sexuality? Bisexual with a lean towards women. I've realized only recently that I think I prefer women over men, though. All of my serious dating experience has been with men. I've never been sure how to go about "finding" women to date so mostly I've just had flings. - How would you label yourself (androgynous/butch/soft butch/femme/mtf/ftm), if at all? femme-ish, I guess. I am a little tomboyish but I do have a feminine side. I've been known to belch the alphabet one day and doll up in a pretty dress the next (or even belch the alphabet while dolled up in a pretty dress...) - Do you have a preference, or don't you? If so, what is it? I guess I'm not into the really super butch type. Tomboyish is fine. I kinda like girls like me. Not too girly-girl, but not too butchy. - How tall are you? 5 feet 2 inches - What size (slim/athletic/average/curvy/heavy) are you? curvy, but right now I have a few extra pounds I'm trying to shed. It's not a lot, I still look okay, I just have a bad muffin top now that messes up the effect of my glorious hips and butt =P - Do you have a size preference, or don't you? If so, what is it? I like a healthy girl. Not so skinny that I feel like I'll break her if I hug her, but not so big that I always feel like I should talk to her about her weight (or that I feel like my own health would be compromised by her bad habits, since I'm trying so hard to shed some weight right now).
- Are you out? With my friends, yes, but not with my family yet. - What's something you just absolutely love in a relationship? Someone to cuddle with and talk to and confide in. Someone to be totally comfortable with. I'm not good at social stuff, but once you get past that first awkward stuff, it is so great to have someone to just be easy with. - Do you have any pet peeves? If so, what are they? People who say "Noo-kyoo-lurr" instead of "Nu-klee-ar", and other grossly obvious mispronunciations. - Do you smoke? Do smokers bother you? I do not smoke tobacco, and smoke bothers me a lot. I'm allergic to tobacco and can't be around it so non-smoker is a must. - Do you drink? Do drinkers bother you? I drink occasionally. It doesn't bother me if someone drinks some, but it would bother me if they did a lot, to the point of needing discussion about alcoholism. - Do you drug? Do druggers bother you? I'll admit I've used marijuana on occasion - but my intent in use is mostly medical, not social. I have fibromyalgia and endometriosis, and THC helps with the pain when my meds aren't quite enough. I don't do it often though, haven't done it in a long time right now, and would quit if it bothered a potential mate. As for other drugs... light use of "easy" drugs wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I would be bothered by heavy use or by "hard" drugs like cocaine/heroin/etc.
- What types of music do you like? I mostly listen to hard/alt rock and metal like Disturbed, Within Temptation, Epica, Evanescence, etc, and will sometimes get into pop-type music like Lady Gaga (gotta admit she's catchy as hell) and a few others - Which authors do you read, if any? I love to read and collect books - *real* books not digital ones - and my favorite genre is sci-fi/fantasy. I like dark and gritty "real" authors that aren't afraid to get sick and gory because that's how the real world gets - what real bad guy would hold back and not get sick and gory? One of my favorites is Anne Bishop. Right now I'm reading the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks - I'm on the third book! Lighter stories can be fun too, though - I did enjoy Harry Potter, I'll admit. I'm mostly not into the whole vampire craze, although I do like Kelley Armstrong's series. I will never ever touch Twilight. - Which television shows are a must-watch for you, if any? The Big Bang Theory is my absolute favorite! I also like Bones, House, the Mentalist, and Fringe. - What are some of your favorite movies? I like lots of movies. Lately my faves are mostly cartoons, there haven't been a lot of good serious movies out. Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, UP, the wonderful classic The Lion King, the first two Shreks (not so much 3 and 4), Kung Fu Panda, and Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 are some great cartoons. Live movies that I've liked recently are Inception, Sherlock Holmes, the Resident Evil series (the closest to "horror" movies I've ever gotten), and Avatar. I also like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (especially the first one), the Star Wars movies (originals more than prequels). That's all I can think of right now. There's lots more, I'm sure. Action, sci-fi, romantic comedy, that kind of stuff is all good. Nothing super creepy though. - If you could live anywhere in this world, where would it be and why? Tough question. I love Ireland so that would be a good choice just for the love, but for the ideal weather, I'd have to go for mid-to-south coastal California. Or maybe a private island somewhere in the pacific, where I don't have to deal with stupid human politics and BS. That would be nice.
- What do you like on your pizza? I'm a simple girl. Cheese and sausage most days. Sometimes just cheese. Some days I add tomatoes to mix it up! (Fresh ones though, not cooked in) - Describe your perfect weekend. Like I said before, I'm not super social so most weekends (when I don't have to work, that is) I just like to relax. A perfect weekend would involve sleeping in, a nice brunch, chilling for the afternoon, a good dinner, then maybe out for a bit, but not too late. Then more sleeping in the next day, and relaxing alllllll day. Snuggling with my cats is always on the list. Books or video games or some tv? Who knows =) For something a little more adventurous, a weekend trip would not be out of the question. Camping, hiking, kayaking, etc, all fun. Day trips to zoos and aquaria are always fun. - Tell us your favorite scent? (You know, the one that makes you weak in the knees!) I like scents that are lightly floral with woodsy undertones, and reminiscent of nighttime. If that makes no sense to you, go smell "Moonlight Path" or "Twilight Woods" at bath and body works - that is exactly what I'm talking about =) - Is there anything else you'd like to add? What a thorough application. I'm always down for more internet friends so if there's anyone who just wants to friend my journal and chat on line, that is cool, even if you're way far away location-wise in terms of the potential dating thing. - Now, just leave us your contact information (aim, e-mail, msn, myspace, etc.) and post a picture behind an lj-cut. I'm at work right now so my pics are all on my other computer and I'll have to update this app in a few hours when I get home. But if you'd like to check out my facebook you can see pics there, and also contact me there or through messages here. I think this is the link, let me know if there's a better way to show this... http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=22909028 The front pic and the album where I'm all dressed up are from my brother's wedding last August =) I'll try to find a more recent "normal" casual pic to put up tonight.
