Scratch that, I'm just crazy.

About Me

Hey everybody!:) God, I hate these things. Oh well, let's see, I love knowing what's going on in the world, and I have a pretty well-developed social conscience. (I'm the only person I know who skips her homework to read the NY Times). If everything goes as planned *crosses fingers*, I'm hoping to travel in Europe and Africa next year, and my dream is to be doing humanitarian work in Africa in the next couple years. I love to sing (though I admit I'm a little self-conscious at times, and don't sing on command) and I'm in two choirs at BCC. Having fun is very important to me. Some people look at me and assume I'm an uptight prep (don't ask me why), but others know better--I'm completely zany, and I love the simple pleasures in life. I give great hugs and I love to meet people and make friends :)
Your Life Path Number is 6
Your purpose in life is to help others
You are very compassionate, and you offer comfort to those around you.
It pains you to see other people hurting, and you do all in your power to help them.
You take on responsibility, and don't mind personal sacrifice. You are the ultimate giver.
In love, you offer warmth and protection to your partner.
You often give too much of yourself, and you rarely put your own needs first.
Emotions tend to rule your decisions too much, especially when it comes to love.
And while taking care of people is great, make sure to give them room to grow on their own. What Is Your Life Path Number?Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Myspace Backgrounds

My Interests

Art, music, philosophy, comedy :D, astronomy, history, and taking a great hike or swimming in the ocean. I like to hang out, play pool, dance, eat good food, shop, travel, practice yoga, etc. I love soccer but can't play to save my life. I REALLY love going to pretty much any kind of show, museum, festival, play, etc.--preferably with someone. I'm always looking for good music, movies, restaurants, books, and stores. Don't take me near a Sephora store if you care how you spend the next three hours ;)

I'd like to meet:

People with a story to tell, a sense of humor, and a care for others. Although I do tend be put off by bossiness and narcissism, I do my best to be patient. Hit me up. Chances are I'll like you :)

Music:

Someone once observed that I care more about quality than genre, and I like to think he's right. But in any case, I have a huge range of artists on my laptop. I like a little of everything.

Movies:

Anything reasonably well made that makes me think, or feel really really good.

Television:

House, Grey's Anatomy, CSI: Las Vegas, Scrubs, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Will & Grace, Family Guy, Inside the Actors Studio, Anderson Cooper, and a good deal of the Discovery and Travel Channels. I do watch a good deal of VH1 and MTV, but I can't believe I'm admitting it.

Books:

Dude, I work in a freaking BOOKSTORE. I mean, come on.

Heroes:

Angelina Jolie, the Dalai Lama, Jon Stewart, JK Rowling, Gandalf, Dumbledore, Yoda, my grandparents, and Chanelle, my bestest friend in the whole wide world.
