Talk About Nikki

Boomer Sooner!

Nikki recently moved to San Francisco from Oklahoma, she is an animal lover, especially interested in loving her animal—Lola, she kinda thinks that her dog Lola is a person, she is a recent entrant to the wonderful world of social media, she is a recently employed Sooner in San Francisco, she loves run-on sentences even though she knows that they are grammatically incorrect, she loves reading books that change her perspective on life and such, she loves watching stupid movies, hates people who are movie snobs, she knows when a movie is bad yet appreciates it for what it is, she loves music, she couldn’t live without music actually, and she loves loves love Sooner Football.

Nikki trained for and ran the San Francisco Marathon,  she is really stubborn, she officially knows that she doesn’t like running that much, after she finished with the marathon she deleted the noun “run” from her dictionary, she loves creating new verbs like BARTing and using them rather than saying she took BART, Nikki used to BART (see, she used the noun as a verb) all the time but now buses, she has recently discovered that she hates public transportation, but she also likes it because it is good for the world and shit, it’s kind of like a love/hate relationship.

Nikki is a serial abuser of parenthesis (aren’t they the best invention ever, it’s like a time out from real life while we’re inside these things), speaking of cereal (she knows, she just said serial, but just go with it) that is really all she eats—even though she aspires to only eat things from the food pyramid, which is really only a half-hearted inspiration because she loves cake, and chocolate, and cookies, and burritos, and sour cream chicken enchiladas, and queso, and mac n’ cheese, and diet soda, she is curious to find out when she will actually be able to cook.

Nikki loves her friends and her family more than anything, being away from them makes her realize more than ever how much they mean to her, she really thinks that she is so blessed because her parents and two brothers and sister-in-law and nephew are bombdotcom, she likes to talk in izzles with her best friend in the whole wide world so nobody can understand what they are saying, she loves having relationships that are so amazing that you can literally finish each other’s thoughts and other people around have a hard time following your conversations because so much less has to be said between the two of you because you just get each other, she loves Sarah.

Nikki is a member of the ASPCA and wants to open her own animal shelter some day, she likes taking conversation in a completely random direction.

Nikki hates that Microsoft Word doesn’t have Facebook as a word in its dictionary (yet) and that it tries to change her “ladies” to “women”, she hates that British people add “u”s to words that don’t need them like colour, she loves reading about really successful people and wants to learn how to be more like them, she recently discovered that she really enjoys the English language and all its proper uses (just because she said that doesn’t mean that she will always use correct grammar, it just means that she usually knows the difference between what is right and wrong and chooses to do the wrong thing like ending a sentence with a preposition because she doesn’t like talking like a woman in the thirteenth century but she does really enjoy referring to herself in the third person even though it is kind of lame—she didn’t mean that, third person), and that she really, really loves Wikipedia.

Nikki LOVES winning arguments, she gets restless easily, she hates that so many country songs make her sad, she has a yearning to travel the world she just has to work enough to be able to pay for her adventures, she likes to use profanity and make up new profane words and phrases, she likes that her co-workers call her Nikita, she really likes to bitch about things that bother her, she thinks that it is very therapeutic for her.

Nikki likes being invited to happy hour and tweet-ups or anything really by new friends, she really likes having close friends and having new experiences, she thinks that is why she is starting this blog, she hopes that people will want to read what she has to say and maybe want to be her friend.
