Courtney!

You are the true Lord of the Dance, no matter what those idiots at work say....

About Me

Well for starters I'm a freshman at Oregon State University studying biochemistry and biophysics! I'm also on the cheerleading team there, so with all of that in addition to academics and random adventures, college life has kept me pretty busy! Don't get me wrong, though, I love it. I have three of the most amazing roommates I could ever ask for and have already met so many cool people at OSU!! From midnight beach runs to random dance parties in the kitchen to 4-mile walks to Coldstone (in flip-flops, mind you) for free ice cream...let's just say we co-op folks know how to have a good time. :) If you're ever bored, you should come visit! (I might even do a flip for you! Lol.) I'm also really close to everyone in my family, so even though college has been awesome thus far it's nice to come home and visit loved ones every once in a while. I must admit I have some pretty cool family members...you would be jealous if you only knew! ;) No but seriously I feel so blessed for everthing I've been given in my life. Oh and speaking of which, I am a Christian and try to treat other people as I'd want to be treated (so far so good). Also, if you know me at all you know that I can be quite random at times. Laughing for no reason whatsoever is a fun past time and provides for hours of entertainment. Chuck Norris is basically my hero, as are Derek Zoolander and people who play the bongo. I have learned not to eat yellow snow. I can think of four people right off the bat with the same middle name as me. I have tasted the Chantico, and my hands have received more action than I will ever receive ever. (LOL...don't ask.) I enjoy movies (watching as well as creating), food, various books, hanging out with friends, the outdoors, and pantries--be expecting a call! Oh and also: Work a little bit harder on improving your low self-esteem, you stupid freak. (Hehe best line ever.) GO BEAVS!!

My Interests

Well, basically I'm interested in all the things normal teenagers are interested in--hanging out with friends, procrastination, food, FREAKING MYSPACE (I swear it's taken over the world), coffee, music, movies, dancing, sleeping, sports (gymnastics, cheerleading, tennis, volleyball and swimming are a few of my favorites), clothes, boys, people-watching, going on random adventures with cool people and taking pointless pictures to document our self-proclaimed awesomeness...anyway the list kinda goes on and on but I won't make you read it because it gets rather boring. As a matter of fact, kudos to you if you are even reading this at all, haha. I love you!! :D Some stuff about me that you might not have known: Sometimes I get obsessed with movies. I am sort of psychic. I like Harry Potter. Stay away from me if I've recently consumed mass amounts of sugar. I love hot weather. I am a biology nerd. I enjoy hugs, both giving and receiving them. I believe in God. I have no idea who I will be a year from now. I cannot whistle for the life of me. I do have friends who can, however, so all is not lost. Last year I graduated from high school with an IB diploma. I am flexible (a side-effect of having taken 11 years of gymnastics, I guess) and my thumbs are freaky and double-jointed. I have taken 5 years of Spanish. I am a chocoholic. The beavs are better than the ducks, fo sho. :) I suck at speaking in public but I'm getting better. I fear rejection and the real world, if that even exists. Conan O'Brien is the man, as is CJ Dunn (if you don't believe me check out my groups, there is proof, my friend, PROOF). I tend to ramble. And laugh. A lot. All in all I love life even though it's not always easy...believe me I have plenty of issues...but we won't go into those, lol. I would be nothing without my family, friends, and the art of RANDOMNESS. XDMeet my new heroes:Ok Go - Here It Goes Again

Music:

Oh wow, I love all sorts of music! It all depends on my mood. (And I definitely have a lot of mood shifts, lol.) I have blared just about everything in my car from Spice Girls to Evenescence, Weird Al to the Dixie Chicks....and yes, even gangsta rap sometimes. :) Some bands/artists I am fond of at the moment: Akcent; Akon; Bacilos; Barenaked Ladies; Big City Rock; The Black Eyed Peas; Blue October; Christina Aguilera; Deathcab For Cutie; The Dixie Chicks; The Eagles; Eminem; Evenescence; Faith Hill; Fall Out Boy; Fleetwood Mac; Fort Minor; The Fray; Garth Brooks; Gnarls Barkly; Greenday; Hellogoodbye; Hot Hot Heat; Imogen Heap; James Blunt; Jason Mraz; Keith Urban; Kelly Clarkson; Maroon Five; Martina McBride; Mat Kearney; Panic! At the Disco; Phil Collins; Rascal Flatts!!; Shania Twain; Shedaisy; Sublime; Weezer; Weird Al...Lol in other words, all you have to do is give me a good beat to listen to and I am happy. Yay!

Movies:

ZOOLANDER!! :DAnd also: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Carribean, Napolean Dynamite, Dumb and Dumber, The Lion King, Forest Gump, Hitch, Anchorman (it grows on you, haha), Vegas Vacation, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, the Shrek movies, and many more but I'm too tired and/or lazy to write them all out for you guys. Deal with it, lol.

Television:

Books:

Well I don't really read a lot other than stuff for school...but for a while there I was pretty obsessed with Harry Potter (yay for easy reads). I also love Sylvia Browne's "A Psychic's Guide to the Other Side and Back". Where the Red Fern Grows definitely made me cry when I read it (in a good way, haha)...oh and for some reason I really liked The Color Purple, too. Weird? Probably.

Heroes:

You!
