About Me

I'm a little ghetto, a little hippie, and a little hillbilly, in no particular order. I'm back in school, getting an MS, with the ultimate goal of a PhD in Forest Ecology. My happy place is hiking in the quiet conifer forests in the Sierra Nevadas. I'd like to consider myself low maintenance, having lived in a tent in the desert for 3 months, then a trailer for 3 months (mind you, all by choice). Such is the life of a Field Biologist. I play the alto sax. I'm a bad ass with a chainsaw and an axe. If you are looking for someone to repair your chainsaw blade, I'm your woman. Or at least I used to be. I like red wine. I've been a veggie for over half my life, but I'm not a nazi about it. I make excellent salads. I love the sunshine and will probably get skin cancer because of it. I love my friends and family to bits.I'm a good person, but I like to talk shit sometimes. Some of my favorite pokes and pet peeves: Uggs and their varients (if you're not a fucking eskimo, there is no need to wear these hideous things), girly-girls, mods, people who drive slow in the fast lane, Greenpeace and all the other all-talk hippies who don't bother to learn both sides of the story (you don't want us to cut down any trees? What are you wiping your ass with? What do you write on? Have you ever noticed that many things around you are BUILT OF WOOD? Perhaps everything should be constructed of hemp?!), SUVs, bad cell phone ettiquette, etc. This could go on forever.

My Interests
