About the Misses


me

My name is Darlene; preferably Dee for short. I'm a 22 year old New Yorker who's noted most for pointing out the things that no one else can see, remembering the small incidents and laughing about it all - even if only to myself. You may describe me as an honest, outspoken, goofy, laid-back procrastinator who probably works better under pressure. I'm currently a business student at CUNY Hunter, but taking a break until I'm fully prepared to go back. Everything happens in its own time, after all.

I've lived in New York my whole life, and somewhere in my mind I like to think that I'll always stay here. Maybe that'll give me time to visit the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. It's weird what people take for granted. I should be ashamed that there's tons of tourists who've been to places that I can see whenever I want. Procrastination is a full time job.

I enjoy finding the humor in almost everything. If you see me smiling I'm probably laughing about something that happened a day, a week, or a year ago. I can't help it. I love to feel good, and therefore I'm usually a bubbly person. And when I'm not bubbly, well, I'm sarcastic and sometimes a little mean. It's the Gemini in me.

I've reconciled with the fact that I'm a typical Gemini. I have two sides to me that are constantly bouncing back and forth. I'm constantly complimented on my writing, but my math skills are abysmal. And even though I love to talk - and talk, and talk - I can be temperamental and stand - offish - I don't like using the phone, and my instant messengers are neglected. I'm pretty good at adapting to situations, and I think I'm pretty tolerant. I'm even a little weird, but it's all part of the package.

One of my closest friends told me that I have a lyrical soul because of the way I interpret art in everything I see, the words I read; my personality is nothing without my habit of spontaneously expressing my direct feelings, as they tend to flow from my mind in a lyrical form. I like to hold myself to that; it's the best compliment I've ever received.

My passion knows no bounds; my heart goes into everything I do. I have a family whom I simply adore. I have a great group of friends, too. They really are my brothers and sisters as well, because I still can't convince myself that people as wonderful as they are aren't my family. I would do almost anything for them, and that's why I choose my circle of friends carefully. Our adventures are memorable, and I'll always be grateful to have shared it with them.

So like I've said, I talk a lot (as if this bio isn't an indication of that), and quite quickly I'm told. I usually have to repeat what I've said 3 times and it usually takes me three times to realize I haven't slowed my speech down at all. I used to fight this fact for a long time until one day I recorded myself having a normal everyday conversation with my boyfriend. I played it back and I couldn't pick out even one word I'd just said. That combined with my habit of flailing my arms in rapid hand gestures while I speak, and the fact that half the time what I think basically flies out my mouth so fast I'm just as surprised as the person I'm speaking to, I guess I make quite the scene. And so it goes.

I'm random and a complete geek. I doodle when I'm on the phone; I eat the crust on my pizza first - always; I like handbags, sandals, laughing until my cheeks hurt and spinning in desk chairs. Give me intelligent, intellectual humor over senseless babble any day. Mariah Carey's on my MP3 24/7. I adore Manhattan. I love spontaneously breaking out into song and extra fluffy towels, diving into a good book on a rainy day, flirting through sarcasm, dreaming and Disney movies. I have adoration for music in general, classical music included. Those years of studying/performing instrumental music (on the clarinet) have given me a keen ear. :)
