Waterfall Myspace Layouts in Nature Myspace Layouts
It's kind of funny how much I've made fun of sites like this... and now I'm getting sucked into one. First friendster, then xanga, now myspace... what's next? I guess I spoke too soon... seeing as how things like the facebook have come out shortly after... In 2004, I graduated from UCI with a degree in Political Science and another in Criminology. Last summer, I stopped working for one of the on-campus housing departments at UCI in order to move to Philly. It was pretty fun and I enjoyed (and miss, of course) the majority of people I worked with and for. I came to Philly to attend UPenn (yah Ivy League!) in a dual masters program for social policy/practice (aka "SP2") & criminology... After UCI's graduation, I grew a sincere appreciation for the important people in my life and focused on what I need to improve. I came to the realization that I am so lucky to have certain people in my life. I know now how vital it is to my happiness and health to weed particular people out. It's not that I'm intentionally being mean, mind you... it's just that I need to keep a balance in my life and there is no room for negativity.
You Are Strawberry Ice Cream
A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream. What Flavor Ice Cream Are You? What Disneyland attraction are you?
"it's a small world": The happiest cruise that ever sailed! Surreal and silly, or sweat and touching, you are a well intentioned 1960s homage to the world's diversity that unfortunatly inspires feelings of sheer terror in those who can't help but feel something more sinister lays beneath your shiney surface. But most cannot deny your charm, even if they cannot explain it, and leave feeling better than when they entered. Most overlook the fact that because of your unique style and design, courtesy of Disney Legend Mary Blair, you are a true work of art and you deserve to be appreciated. You are both worldy and simplistic, both cosmopolitan and decidedly middle American. You are a splendid candy-coated contradiction with a sugary, sunny song that one never forgets. If the world truely listened to your never-ending optimism, it could be a small world after all.

My Interests

Music (I'll listen to most anything, but there's a time and a place for everything), playing piano, carrying on intelligent conversations (or as intelligent as they can come), spending time with family and friends, holidays, musicals, watching hockey, watching ice skating, getting out and exploring,...

I'd like to meet:

I'll give everyone a chance... and when I mean "a chance," I mean one. You only get one first impression, so make it count. All kidding aside, I'd like to meet some people who can make me laugh and challenge me (not to the point of irritation). I'd like to reconnect with people I knew from the past, as long as I remember who they are. In any case, don't be upset if I don't add you, it's nothing personal. =)

Music:

Greenday, Snow Patrol, Simple Plan, Section 8, Weezer, 311, Dashboard Confessional, Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, Incubus, DC Talk, Switchfoot, Death Cab, The Offspring, Howie Day, Evanescence, Tom Petty, Plain White T's, Jimmy Eat World, Goo Goo Dolls, Yellowcard, No Doubt, musicals, etc

Movies:

Dirty Dancing, Crash, Road Trip, Old School, The Island, Italian Job, The Saint, The Notebook, Moulin Rouge, 40 year old virgin, shrek (1 and 2), Oceans eleven

Television:

24, Law and Order, MSCL... and I definitely still like all of the older cartoons (the ones lately just stink...) - gummi bears, ducktales, talespin, the jetsons, scooby doo, rocky and bullwinkle, etc

Books:

Angels and Demons, Davinci Code, The Godfather

Heroes:

I still stand by what I wrote in highschool on this topic... I have no heroes because no one is perfect and no one deserves to be placed on a pedestal. HOWEVER, I do highly respect my parents and sister for all of their hardwork, dedication, and intelligence.

My Blog

It's been awhile since I wrote a *real* blog. I finally did it - I got rid of facebook and xanga and can now focus all of my attention on myspace... as if I hadn't been doing that already... Anyway, ...
