About Me

I'm a girl.
I'm going to college at Normandale this year and then next year I'll be at Vermilion, studying for a degree in Wildland/Wildlife Law Enforcement. Woo nature! ;) I like outdoor recreation a lot. e.g. Camping, hiking, friesbee, etc.
I've spent 10 collective months working for conservation corps(plural) in just over a year... it's been sweet.
I love working outside and playing outside. I'm looking forward to meeting new peeps and having new experiences. I'd love to find people to chill with every now and then. All my good friends are spread out across the US for the next year or so. Gotta love 'em.

My Interests

Laughing, hiking/climbing, family, partying, renting random foreign films, listening to music, conservation work, ultimate frisbee, thinking, camping (in trailers and tents), dancing around, walking, singing, tattoos + peircings, conservation work (aka: manual labor), swiming, painting, drawing, swinging really really high, driving(usually), riding horses, the rain, riding Harleys with my dad, playing with animals, watergun fights with kids, hanging out with my buddies, grilling, eating, drinking water, breathing clean air, etc... etc... etc.
Please feed my widdle sphamy...

The media(celebrity), magazines, drugs, MTV, etc. Basically the things that screw up young minds and, eventually, zee world!
