About Me


My name is Colleen Cathryn McCord, and i was born in April, making me a stubborn taurus.
I've lived in the same place my whole life. my parents are seriously in love and have been for 20 some years. i live in the country, which suits my lifestyle and personality.
i loved school, especially music and art. i have about 15 medals from choir festivals and solo and ensemble competitions. i graduated High School in 2002, and I graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design in December 2006, with a bachelors in Visual Communication. My favorite band is Barenaked Ladies, whom i've only seen six times. i also love Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, Great Big Sea, The Decemberists and K's Choice.
I am a Mac fanatic, and i can hardly make sense of those crazy windoze machines. i have a 15GB 3G iPod, a 12'' iBook and they are named for BNL references, Lloyd and Elwyn, respectively.
i have an adorable kitten named Kyrie, and i used to have a beta fish named Pantone, but he was flushed to the great beyond. i miss him. (for all people un-arty, it's a joke about his name....no i don't know what number he was.)
i like reading, doodling, sleeping, and daydreaming. i often get nagged at about zoning out, and i really enjoy just being in the company of people i love.
when i find my dream job, i plan on getting married and building a Geodesic Dome . yep, that's my dream home. it'll be great.
then after that i hope to be insanely happy and live till i'm 90.
