if life's a joke, I don't get it

About Me

This is a fun music video....I'm a pretty laid back person who likes to hang out with friends and have a good time. I LOVE reading the horoscopes in the Onion, they make me laugh so hard i usually cry from laughing so hard. I like dark and off the wall humor, like in strangers with candy (great show). I like to use parentheses a lot when I type to be be thorough in explaining my thoughts. Real life slap-stick -- like seeing a jogger with their dog on a leash get pulled into a lake (thanks dave for the great story) -- is what keeps me going, lol.Right now I'm in real estate leasing apartments. For a minute I was going nuts with the hectic schedule even though the pay was way better than my last job. Yes, even though I'm going nuts at least I can afford to live by myself in an apartment (NO roomates, ever since college i was like "oh HELL nah!") I'm pretty excited (and scared) because I think I know what I want to do with my life now. Soon, I hope to be returning to school to study to become a dermatologist. Nothing I've been doing lately has been fulfilling to me at all and I know that helping people in some is something that I will love. I know the struggles with stuff like acne, so helping in that area is something that would be awesome for me. Or even in other areas, but i'll cross that bridge when it comes to that.I was an army brat when i was younger. So after I was born in Washington state, we moved to Germany, then to New Jersey, then to Colorado, Kansas, Hawaii, back to Colorado, then finally here. Many ask which were my favorite. Germany for sure, and Colorado and Hawaii. But I do like the city area of Chicago. I hate the suburbs though. SOOO boring.I studied abroad in Sweden for a semester and got to see my relatives and stuff. I'd love to go back again to study there or just visit (hopefully I'll be doing that this fall). Om du kan prata svenska, gor mig en tjanst, tala med mig.

My Interests

Drawing, Movies, Music, eating (mmmm, food), laughing at inappropriate times, laughing at rich gin-soaked suburban mothers, watching people trip or something embarassing like that (I eat that stuff up, unless they're seriously injured), skin care, the human body, learning new and odd facts

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is fun, non-pretentious, and enjoys life and i'm sure we'll get along fine. If the words camel-toe and caddywompus make you smile, that's a plus.

Music:

Goldfrapp, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Frou Frou, Hooverphonic, Boards of Canada, Lounge and Chillout music, The Saint Soundtrack, some dance music (but I'm picky about it, I really hate irritating trance) so basically a minimal amount of techno, Coldplay, classical, Muse, Craig Armstrong, Bjork, Kent (and various other scandinavian artists) and a variety of others.

Movies:

Xmen 1 and 2, Carrie, the Cell, Two Weeks Notice, Hotel Rawanda, A.I., Bourne identitiy, Lord of the Rings, Amelie, Napoleon Dynamite, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Elizabeth, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away, Charlie's angels (sick little secret of mine), The Last Unicorn, the Secret of NIHM, Goonies, Never Ending Story, Romy and Michelle, and the list goes on because I love movies

Television:

Strangers with Candy (all seasons are on DVD now, woo hoo), I've actually gotten into Grey's Anatomy a bit, America's Next Top Model (hilarious), but other than that I don't watch much TV.

Books:

Barrel Fever, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dealing with Dragons, Calvin and Hobbes (not sure if that counts)

Heroes:

Sounds Hokey, but my parents. They truly demonstrate how to approach life. They've been through a lot and many of my friends look to them as parent-figures in their lives.

My Blog

I'm scared....

So lately I know a couple people have been saying I look thinner (which i freaking HATE because I'm already super self-consious about being skinny, people don't realize that I used to be really depres...
