About Me

I will graduate in May with my undergrad from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. After that I have absolutely no set plans but I have every intention of following my heart wherever that might take me. I try to not waste my time on regret and hesitation. I know I'll always end up where I was supposed to. :)

My Interests

My interests are as random as my thoughts. Let's see...Climbing trees. Watching the clouds and staring up at the stars. Sci-fi (I made peace with this a long time ago). Dr. Pepper. Smiling and laughing and making other people laugh. Glitter/markers/office supplies in general. Being mischevious. M'M's. History. Lyrics. Oh, and this guy... he's pretty awesome and i pretty much adore him. ;)

I'd like to meet:

People who are funny and open and free and silly and have good music tastes...believe whatever you want, but you sure as Hell better be able to support what you say with logical arguments. I don't deal well with stupid folks. People who dream and have passions in life, who do what they feel is right, no matter what everyone else thinks. People who stand up for themselves and understand loyalty and commitment. People who will play in the rain with me.Then as far as famous people go, I would love to meet Holly from the Girls Next Door or the guy who plays Shawn on the USA show Psych. Oh, and Abe Lincoln. I think that would be pretty sweet.

Music:

Every genre and song has it's appropriate moment... As long as the music matches the atmosphere I'm happy.

Movies:

I'm not even going to get started on this section...

Television:

Firefly, Psych, anything on the Food Network, Weeds, Big Love, Law and Order, Samantha Who?, Eli Stone, anything on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, or HGTV. Okay, so clearly I tend to just prefer networks to particular shows...

Books:

Anything by Arthur C. Clarke. The Bean Trees. Brave New World. A Walk in the Woods. God Shaped Hole. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Naked. Prodigal Summer. My Horizontal Life.

Heroes:

My dad. Meg Bailey. L.F.S.

I Hate Being an Adult

When I turned 23 and was dropped from my dad's insurance policy because of age limits, I was terrified. Not to be overly dramatic but I... have an illness. I'll spare you the details. L...
