About
My duvet cover is red with a white viney pattern on it.
I collect old postcards. I love to read what was written and imagine the stories that go with them. I think a part of me is looking to find one that was sent to me, from a very long time ago.
"Dear Meghan,
It is 1903 and you are not yet born. You will be feisty and will deal with being called "cute" your whole life. Things will be hard but you will pull though. Don't despair, you will find a place to call home. Everything is fine here. Love..."
Sometimes I don't fall asleep until the sun comes up. Not 'cause I think it's fun, but because I can't sleep.
Once, when I was four years old, I ate three live earthworms on a dare.
I think my feet look stupid.
I don't understand why we use the words "lost weight" or "lose weight". Maybe I'm wrong here but I've always associated the words "lost" and/or "lose" as being negative.
"I've lost my keys!"
"I lost the pancake eating contest."
"WE'RE LOST."
"I didn't mean to lose the cat. I'm sorry."
When I "lose weight" I never wonder just where it is that I misplaced it. I'm usually thinking, "DAMN STRAIGHT! I purposely got rid of that weight! It wasn't lost! It was gleefully exiled!"
I like scarfs.
I hate roaches.
Eddie Izzard, Mitch Hedburg and Brian Regan are the funniest men I've never met. Who is the funniest man I HAVE met? Why...that would have to be Zack Arias.
This is my personally owned and operated bit of the World Wide Web.

Coincidence...
I have experienced quite a lot of coincidences lately. The kind that leave me scratching my head at the oddity of it all.
I just had one not four hours ago, thus the reason for this writing. It's difficult to not read meaning into moments that catch you …

An attempt to describe in a succinct way what interests me most...

Well, obviously our ideas on fancy differ but I am way more than willing to tolerate it if you can tolerate my use of words like randomnitmity. And the half a face things was because of the picture you were using. And I am overjoyed to see you have included even more of your face in your current profile photo. I apologize for the stupidity of this comment but all my attempts at wittiness have failed me tonight. and I don't have much hope for future attempts.
Tra, Apr 20, 2007:
It all boils down to luck. You were in the right time and right place and the only girl with half a face. At the time, anyway. And there is no need for fancy words like 'piqued' and 'ol'. Is the curiosity satisfied or not. Pure randomnimity.

randy, Apr 11, 2007:
Sorry I am just responding to this now. Jammin Java's not doing shows, check our MySpace for explanations on that. You could do your trio and open for Eric at a rock club. Could you trade a good show in ATL with Eric?"E-mail me and we'll hook it up.
