My Craigslist ad
Hi! My name is Andi, and I’m in the market for a new best bud. I’ve been living in the High Desert for about a year, and I’m tired of staying at home by myself all day while I look for work. I’m pretty awesome; took my SATs twice, which I think says a lot, I have little dances for specific occassions, and I rock at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Aaron Sorkin and Joss Whedon are my heroes, and my love for Michael Jackson increases at approximately the same rate as my tequila intake. My fiance says that I’m exceedingly charming, but I think he might be biased.
If I sound like someone you want to hang out with, please fill out this survey and send it to my email. Please note: I’m looking for limited amounts of drama. I enjoy some gossip here and there, and I’m more than happy to listen and sympathize, but I am not interested in become someone’s permanent shrink. Apply at your own risk!
Love, Andi

Loose and the Sinners starting fights and the Nazis getting juiced.
Again, little to no mistakes… I RULE!!!
