ASHes, ASHes, We All Fall Down

I am here for Friends

About Me


I'm a Cancer. A big one. So be gentle with me or I'm liable to break. Or break you. Depends on my ever-changing mood. To make matters worse, my moon is in Pisces. Basically, I have the tendency to be an emotional wreck. But I'm fun. I promise.
I am the Queen of Cups. Look it up.
I am currently living in Athens, Georgia where I am going to graduate school at the University of Georgia for their College Student Affairs Administration program. Sometimes I question whether I made the right decision. I miss Ohio. But I think I am actually starting to like it here.
For my graduate internship I worked with Freshman College Summer Experience at UGA in Athens. I loved my job and I'm sad it is over. Thankfully, they liked me and I'll be sticking around for the next year. For my graduate assistantship I am working with the UGA Alumni Association specifically with the Student Alumni Council. I'm really looking forward to this position. For the future I'm not quite sure where I want to end up but it's usually an interesting conversation. Ask me about it sometime.
I'm very happily taken by a wonderful man. He's nearly perfect.
I don't blame you for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it.
My profile songs are not only songs I like, but they also mean something to me. Listen and you can hear my thoughts.
I care a lot about my friends and put my everything into my friendships. This is a good thing. This is also a bad thing. I can be the the one person in the world who will always be there for you. But if you break my trust, consider me out of your life. Don't break my heart. It gives me panic attacks.
I'm liberal. Enough said.
I'm emo. I act like I'm not. But that is a facade. How many emos does it take to change a lightbulb? None because they all will just sit in the dark and cry. Me too. But only on the inside. I would actually probably get up and change the damn lightbulb eventually.

My Interests

In no particular order: activism, men, sleep, showtunes, anti-war, michael moore, oprah books, movies, music, student affairs, tarot, astrology, getting a degree, money, cats, betta fish, hermit crabs, going to college forever, boys, flowers, romance, kisses, cuddling, sleeping all day, working, talking, grad school
And the best cat I'll ever have.
She recently passed away.

adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:


Do not send me a message that says "hey sexy". If you want to talk to me then talk to me. It's not that hard to start a conversation.
If you went to high school with me and we didn't have a good friendship, chances are I'm not going to add you. It's nothing personal to you. But MySpace is personal to me. I only add friends.
I don't like mean people.
I do like intellectuals. People that can hold really good conversation. People that can have fun without having to get smashed. I'm not straight edge but I've already grown out of the heavy drinking stage of my life. I'm more of a cocktail girl.
Oh, and people that will leave me comments. I want to meet those kind of people. That's important.
And finally, I'd like to meet someone who will send me flowers regularly. If you do that then yeah, I'll be your friend.

Music:

Fall Out Boy, The Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Sarah McLachlan, Sherwood, Dashboard Confessional, Barenaked Ladies, showtunes (I'm a RENThead), Josh Groban, Dixie Chicks, Evanesence, Paula Cole, Lisa Loeb, etcetera. I love girlie music (a la Lilith Fair) and emo/light punk/acoustic music. My Top Five include Sarah McLachlan, The Postal Service, Fall Out Boy, Lisa Loeb and my new favorite love that you should love too:

Movies:

RENT, Garden State, Latter Days, The Holiday, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Fish, Shakespeare in Love, American Beauty, Bowling for Columbine, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Finding Nemo, The Object of My Affection, My Best Friend's Wedding, Cruel Intentions, the list goes on. I love showtune type movies but I really, really like the emo movies that make you think too much and wonder why you're still alive.

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Six Feet Under, ER, Law & Order SVU, MTV, E!, and the Food Network. I admit, trashy reality shows like The Surreal Life and The Simple Life are really interesting to me. Plus I like watching those gross shows where they operate on people.

Books:

She's Come Undone, I Know This Much is True, Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn, Where the Heart Is, The Da Vinci Code, The Vagina Monologues, Cunt, The Lovely Bones, Lucky, White Oleander, Here on Earth, and a whole lot more. I own just about every book I read so let me know if you want to borrow one.

Heroes:

My Great-Grandmother, My Mother, My Maternal Grandmother, Hillary Clinton, and anyone who can get into grad school and secure a decent job.
