About Me

I live in beautiful, sunny southern California. I recently graduated from UCSB as an English major with a minor in professional editing. My goal is to be an editor for a publishing company although I'm not sure if I'm going to head to New York or not. Too cold and too many people and I love the area so I'll probably stick around.I work part-time and go to school full-time so I'm busy, busy. A few friends from high school have been on me to get on myspace (I told you I would, Asia!) so here I am.Let's see, what else? These things are lame, no one can ever accurately put who they are in a little electronic box. According to the few people I'd call close friends, I'm stubborn (said the pot to the kettle, Heather Michelle), smart, sassy, a bookworm, a little shy and quiet until you get a margarita or two in me (or a bottle of wine). I can be perceived as aloof and I guess that perception is accurate to some extent. I've been told I think like a "man" and while I think that's a sexist and inherently ignorant comment, I see where they're coming from. I can be introverted or utterly ridiculous when the mood strikes me. I like low brow comedies, junk food, mythical imagery and MSNBC; I hate Paris Hilton and everything she stands for and not just because I'm a liberal feminist. I guess that sums me up nicely. If you want to know more and you're not a pervert or a moron, you can try to contact me. I might reply. If I don't, I guess you have to assume you're a pervert or a moron. But don't take it personally.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to see how everyone is from high school or Shasta College. At first I was just here to catch up with old friends but I've met some pretty decent people on here so I wouldn't mind keeping that up. But please, no more sicko porn or music people. Enough already. Seriously.

Liberalism

Liberalism is not the monster it's made out to be by the opposition. It is pro individual and pro family. It is pro community and pro country. Liberalism is, by its very definition, the heart and soul...
