About Me



I'm me. Half Slytherin, half Ravenclaw, all fun, all the time. Well, except when I am teaching.... I'm a nasty teacher to my current students, but that is only because they refuse to work.... That should change soon though, because I might be back to the school I student taught at soon enough for a REAL job. YAY!

My Interests

I like to go around the city like the slightly abnormal girl I am, screaming random things at random times, talking on the phone, laughing, having fun, seeing movies, getting politically involved, things like that. I'm just your normal 25 year old woman, with a few extra quirks sometimes, as I have stated.

I'd like to meet:

I've already met him. I'm totally the luckiest girl on Earth.

Music:

Depends on my mood. It varies... I like a lot of different Broadway Musicals, some rock, some classical...I have REALLY varied tastes. Just ask me if I like a band, chances are if I have not heard them, I'd be interested in listening. Unless it's rap, because that makes my ears bleed

Movies:

I love Kevin Smith, so obviously I like comedies. I can also be found watching well-made drama films, documentaries, and horror movies. Some of my favorite movies include Phantom of the Opera, all three X-Men movies and both Spiderman movies, The Punisher (ok, so I'm a comic nerd, sue me), um...and I really like Star Wars and Harry Potter

Television:

TV today just makes me rather ill. I don't watch it. Except for CSI. Love me some CSI. Also, Scrubs, funniest show ever, though Zach Braff has nothing on the adorable geekiness of my boyfriend.

Books:

Suspense, horror, and (ok, so I am a loser) non-fiction of the political and clinical psychology persuasion. I really like Patricia Cornwell's books, she's great. Other authors I favor are Al Franken, Anne Rice, and Poppy Z Brite, even though the latter two are no longer writing (or no longer writing things I want to read.) I'm also starting to get into Sylvia Browne. Amazing stuff. Obviously I also liked Harry Potter, and I've gotten into The Dresden Files as well.

Heroes:

I have a few. Mostly my friends and self-constructed family, because they are the strongest and most wonderful people I know. I love you all!!!

My Blog

Awesomest guy EVER

So last night, I was bored and sleepy and so I figured I would try to go to bed early, it seemed like a good idea. So my loving boyfriend calls, joking, as is normal, that he was going to come see me....

The luckiest

Well, today we're stealing from Ben Folds for the title to this blog, simply because it describes how I feel right now. I've been laying on my couch and staring at the ceiling thinking about how thing...

Quick update and such, for those that care.

As of today I am two weeks from being completely finished school. If this is not proof of some higher power (given how very long it took me) I am not sure what is. I sprained my ankle on Halloween and...

This weekend

Yes. Very very good weekend. Looking forward to Wednesday very much right now and my face sort of hurts because I can't stop smiling at this point. Very unusual, I know it, but hey, stranger things ha...

No spoilers. Just me.

Finished HP7 about 10 minutes ago. It was absolutely fucking GREAT! I won't post any info for those who have yet to read it, but suffice it to say that I adored it, though I will admit to crying a lot...

I'm bored.

Why is it that the one day that ALL my closest friends (the ones I have hung out with bunches) are off from their jobs, I am stuck in doing homework, reading about Kurt Cobain, and listening to music?...

One person will really "get" this

I couldn't tell you what the higher ramifications are of being soul mates. I can tell you this however. As long as you are separated from your own, that long are you troubled. No matter what the circu...
