About Me

After three years, I suppose it's time that I started feeling like a Washingtonian. But really I'm a Nebraska transplant and former Cyclone (Iowa State University). I'm working on the final touches to an MS in Experimental Psychology at Central Washington University, while living on the "Westside." What an adventure this chapter in life has proven to be! My interests probably tell more about me than this narrative, but the following might help too... I like to think I'm a good mix of things -- woman & child, angel & demon, old fashioned & trendy -- I like to go out and stay in, be super active and super lazy (yeah for Sundays!).View my livejournal at: http://www.livejournal.com/users/th8agirl AIM = gr8plainsprim8
