Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Ice cream

I'm a 24 yr old grad of private liberal arts college Birmingham-Southern in Psychology. That and 59cents gets me a cup of coffee. I'm a teacher-counselor at a residential facility for kids with mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. I like goat cheese and folk music. I spoon my cats nightly and love my boyfriend daily. I'm pretty nuts for cats. I kiss mine a lot and I like the way their breath smells. It might be weird. It's probably not weird. I intend to pursue my masters in (Grief) Counseling. I drove across the country in Aug. to OR with my boyfriend. We took a breather by the beach for 3 weeks & moved inward to Portland. We are loving Portland & trying to discover all of it! I also like spicy food, chest hair and friendly, genuine people. The first two aren't so hard to find...
You Are An Iris
You are a unique person who seeks out novelty in life.
An inspiration seeker, you often have to change scenery to recharge.
You don't deal well with structure or rules. You need to do it your own way.
Your ideal relationships are free and flowing. No one can tie you down. What Flower Are You? ~ I am lucky to have a team of very devoted therapists there for me round the clock: Lila & Sylvia-my cats. ~I feel like Tom Petty is under some delusion that he is an icon like Dylan. I don't hold it against him. ~Come on Britney, a "nervous breakdown" can only last so long. ~It freaks me out when people over 20 have the body of a 12 year old. ~If I ever feel alone, or like I have nothing, there is always bacon. ~I really respect Queen Latifah. And her old school stuff-well it's life changing. ~Scoopnecks only look good on foreign women. ~I got mad respect for Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson & Will Smith & Ellen! ~People that take an abundance of "happy snaps" and post their pics of themselves make me sad :(

Why didn't I get the memo that Halloween is just an excuse for girls to wear skimpy lingerie?

I never get the memos...

Blogs are Gay...

Blogs are gay and self-indulgent. I can't believe you clicked on this. What did you want to read about my opinions or how my day went? You're gay.
