I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm a graduate of the university of pittsburgh, wherein i studied humans (people), and have a special interest in tiny ones (kids), and ones from far far away (world cultures). i had hoped to never ever graduate, although i finally did so with two degrees and a minor in tow (BS/BA). i needed to graduate, really, because i'm sure that my parents and the government were tired of supporting my ass. i have a primary dog (betsy), and auxiliary dog (frankie), and a cat (boris), and we all live together in harmony. i have a job (milieu therapist) at wpic (9th best psychiatric hospital in the nation) wherein i "support clients in achieving and maintaining recovery" (i.e. i keep the mentally ill afloat in the sea of subjective reality). luckily, i was accepted into carlow university for grad school (professional counseling), so that i am not doomed indefinitely to the ranks of the low-level social service sector. oh, and i like plants.

My Interests
