Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?

About Me

Back to the grind of things...
I'm not really sure what I'm suppose in these things right here without sounding like facetious. I guess thats why I have those personality test there so that you, the reader, can come to your own conclusions.
So what to say, what to say.... well, first off, you really shouldn't be reading this if you don't know who I am. I mean, you can, but I only add people that I know (Like thats ever a problem)
So I'm an English major at Cal Poly, being trained for a life of cardboard boxes and having an intellectual discourse over the significance over Robert Brownings use of Childe Roland rather than other Medeival epic characters. (Read: high school teaching in training. It's okay, it really is, it's what I really want to do)
The eldest of five, so from an early age, I known how to share and to value privacy. Thats not to say that I dont like people, I do, I really do.
I find that though I have a friendly personality, I don't make friends very well.
I sometimes daydream about writing the next canonical American novel that would spur a literary movement, a la Whitman, but then I remeber the backstabbing politics that are involved in academia. So to the underground I go...
There is tons more, but I think thats a good start.

You are Proverbs.
Which book of the Bible are you?

Your wise quote is: "Our greatest glory is not
in never falling, but in rising everytime we
fall" by Confucius.
Yes indeed, you see true strenght can only be
seen when a person has "fallen". Only
then one can tell how they will handle it. Just
don't make others fall so you can know who they
really are. You on the other hand may be a very
quick recoverer and don't let people bring you
down. You are your own, and you're find with
that. Emotional issues is something you handle
rather nicely.

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Youve managed to train both a great evil and a greater good, not to mention whipping the ass of the coolest looking Sith in the series. However, you do have a few weaknesses, like Count Dooku and a douche bag of a Padawan. Other than that, you are the epitome of class. The accent, the outfit, and your care for those around you is highly admirable. Arguably, you are the best Jedi that ever lived, having owned Maul, Anakin and Grievous, a total of seven lightsabres among the three.

My Interests

Books. Lots and lots of books. Look, I'm an English major, and while that typically means telling people the proper use of words when they order their food, I damn enjoy my books. Movies galore. I've watched far too many movies. I'm starting to get into David Lynch for some reason.

I'd like to meet:

Robert "Hardcore" Browning

And anyone who can make "ABC" cool.
ABC by The Jacksons from Clerks 2
