About Me

I have 10 credits to go and then I'm REALLY done with college, instead of 'poser' done, which should have happened a good 2-3 years ago. (These websites always assume people graduate in 4 years, and then they update you with alumni status, and then you feel all crunchy because you have to go and fix it and admit to yourself that you are waaay off schedule). Taking 2 intensive writing/reading classes, which suck ASS! Reading [what feels like] 400/pages a week, not my idea of a good week :( If I have to write one more compare and contrast paper...UGH!Yes, I have been at the same job for about 6 months or so now. This is a personal victory and all of you who know me out there are probably very suprised-- Hell, I suprised myself :P Federal Reserve rules! Who else got Columbus Day off?Who I am/ Who I'd like to be We're going to separate these categories because at least this way y'all know I'm trying :)Who I am: Talkative Funny Somewhat moody Sarcastic Honest- I take NO prisoners :) Someone with a SHORT attention span Loyal SensitiveWho I'd like to be: Patient A little more compassionate Less judgemental A member of the 'full-time' work force :) (At this point I should just type in Mother Theresa, but I just don't have the cojones for it) Click here for Myspace glitter graphics and Myspace layouts

My Interests

I was a BIG SONICS fan, but with that crazy drama-drama, I think I'm having a change of heart. I'm a SURFER GRRL at heart. I like museums and movies and walks in the city (when it's NOT raining). I like a good bottle of wine and a great book.

I'd like to meet:

Now that I've had this MySpace account for a little while, I know what kind of people I DON'T want to meet. If you are some organization or head-hunter--DON'T FRIEND ME. If you are the kind of guy who only seems to 'friend' asian females, CROSS ME OFF YOUR LIST. Let's get real, it's a little serial killer/stalker and just plain creepy. If you are the type of guy who has nothing but half-nekkid females and 'girls-gone-wild' type of sh*t on your page, (I don't think I need to say this again, but I will, just in case you're not seeing a pattern here), PLEASE spare me. You may notice that I have a few people on my friends list that meet these undesirable qualities, please don't hold it against me, I know them. I want to meet people who like to go out and do things, who don't need to party to have a good time, and who can manage to converse without saying 'like' a dozen or more times.

Music:

I'm ashamed to say that I really haven't gotten too much into the local music scene. I have to credit the people around my for influencing my tastes. R&B, Reggae, anything by Atmosphere, jazz, essentially all of the types of music that you don't have to be in a 'mood' to listen to. Radio station of choice lately? 90.3 KEXP. Check out Saturdays between 9am and Noon (Is anyone up that early?)

Movies:

I have to admit that I'm a 'happy endings' kind of grrl, but have begun to appreciate the edgier action flicks (i.e. Crank). Comedies are always great, but I'm a little wary of 'chick flicks'. There's just something disturbing about paying $10 to see a movie that shows something that the majority of the public wants, but can't have. (Doves and violins my ass)

Television:

Does anyone NOT watch the food network? I have to admit that it's one of my staples, but I REFUSE to watch Emeril. (BAM! BAM! SHUT THE F*CK UP!) I love Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy, but can't stand the fact that I've allowed myself to be drawn into a television series. I do not want to be one of those crazy-ass Smallville/OC fans- it scares me.

Books:

As you can tell from my pics, I have a dog. Here's the problem- she doesn't like ANYBODY that's not related to me. So I've mainly been reading dog psychology/ behavior books. Last thing I want is a lawsuit because she decides to take someone's finger off. Other than that, I love sci-fi (yes, I'm an undercover geek) and the occasional historical romance, and a great mystery.

Getting back onto the ’Academic Horse’

So, I made the Dean's List for summer quarter, and as many of you know, that's real progress for someone who didn't even have the gas money to get to school 2 years ago :) Problems? I was really motiv...
