Quirky Monkey

I'm working on having a life again ...

About Me

Let's see ... I'm pretty hyper and extroverted most of the time (i.e. the public me), but can be very chillax a lot of the time, too.I'm a graduate student at Cal State University in Fullerton. My studies are on hold, though, because living in CA has made me broker than a crack whore. So, I work at a day program for Developmentally disabled / Mentally Retarded, and I am a behavioral therapist for autistic children in the afternoon. So, yeah, I don't have a lot of patience for anyone else. My jobs suck it all up, not that I had a lot begin with.WHEN I'm in school - I'm studying Psychology. Please don't ask me to analyze you or your dreams, because I'm not into that kind of Psych. I'm the 'science' dork kind of Psych Grad Student and the stuff that can actually help people (i.e. has a verifiable scietific basis (DATA) behind the claim of helping).Let's see ... I guess my 'hobbies' are working out, reading, yoga, snowboarding a little (thank you Celeste!) and being with my friends. I usually don't care what we do as long as we have fun.I believe it is necessary for me to put here that I will not add you as a friend unless I know you beyond online. For the gentlemen, I appreciate the complimnets, but I am not interested in meeting people over MySpace because I don't think it's wise or safe ... so please don't e-mail me. Thanks!I'll try anything once, twice if I like it.
