I'm the girl next door.

About Me

My name is Karen. I'm quirky, but I don't mind. I know what I want in life. I'm extremely laid back and easy going, although I am one of those nerds who keeps her place immaculate and orderly. I love learning, so I am definitely looking forward to going back to school and getting my Masters degree. I am a nurse in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and I absolutely love my job. I'm a klutz. I pretend that I'm intelligent. I have pretentious interests, but I'm far from being pretentious. I respect everyone. I give everyone a chance. I don't get angry, ever. I'm a listener. I'm full of imperfections. My parents live in Iraq currently doing missions work, my brother is deployed to Iraq until January 2009, and my sister and brother-in-law live in New York City. I like the simplicity of spinach, grilled cheeses, pancakes, and potatoes. I like going barefoot (when allowed), being out in the rain, my glasses, being a bridesmaid, weddings, family values, children, mountains, oceans and beaches, rivers, and many other things. Hoodies, bonfires, and hot chocolate never fail me. I would like to own a Jeep someday (manual, of course). I love to smile, and I love to give and receive hugs. Laughter is the best medicine.I don't like conflict/confrontation. I dislike coleslaw (the only food I won't eat), creepy guys (everyone knows a couple of these). But one thing I really don't like is when you go swimming and the big kid does a cannon ball and gets your towel all wet!! What are you supposed to do when you get out of the pool and your towel is soaked?? You know what? I also don't like the genius who decided to put the letter "S" in the word "Lisp". What were they thinking? Were they trying to be cruel? Myspace Layouts

Smile

Sometimes it's hard being happy. Sometimes things in life just don't make sense. Sometimes I hide behind a smile. A smile makes a lousy umbrella.
