About Me

Just a girl from Grass Valley who now calls Humboldt County her home. Have darkish blond hair, blue eyes, and...um...I do a lot of homework and almost nothing else. I don't enjoy heartache, but I seem to court it with the skilled precision of a master emotional masochist. I love my pets and rainbows and things that sparkle and martinis with extra olives. I love music and looking at all the colors in a person's eyes. I own a large collection of cobalt glass dishes. Three words: Tillamook medium cheddar!!! Well, I like all kinds of cheese. I am constantly reminded how little I know. People with big brains excite me. I'm jealous of all you people who can honestly call yourselves musicians...I have NO talent whatsoever. I'm gonna be a nurse if I can get through all this freaking school. Need your pulse checked?
I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!

My Interests

Science, critters, bead-work, art of all kinds, food, interesting cocktails and...did I mention science? Um...I'm interested in cool stuff too like... What are cool people interested in?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has a basic understanding of morals but can twist them ever so slightly as to be interesting without being an asshole. Anyone I can love, even in death.A pair of human skeletons lie in an eternal embrace at an Neolithic archaeological dig site near Mantova, Italy, in this photo released February 6, 2007. Archaeologists in northern Italy believe the couple was buried 5,000-6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in a hug that has lasted millennia.

Music:

CREAM!!! Well, anything Clapton related. Let's see, I like anything that is pleasant to listen to. To name just a few of my favorites: the cranberries, deep forrest, the weepies, eisley, the elected, delerium, the beatles, paul simon, roots of orchis, ani difranco, john mayer, rasputina, tori amos, death cab for cutie, alice in chains, jimmy eat world, david bowie(...um Labyrinth, need I say more?), radiohead, bjork, portishead, coldplay, tatu, spearhead, indigo girls, eva cassidy, allison krauss, gretchen witt, and mile drive. But Cobalt is the best ever band so if you are reading this, you have to check them out at http://www.myspace.com/cobaltmusic

Movies:

There are too many great films. It hurts to think about it, but His Girl Friday and Harold and Maude are definitely up there. Borat, The Weather Man, In the Heat of the Night, The Whole Nine Yards! Whale Rider. Bread and Tulips. Amelie. The Neverending Story. Legend. The Seventh Seal. Splash (I know, don't laugh). Sean of the Dead. The Dark Crystal.

Look Who's Talking (yeah, yeah, shut it.) Quidam. Labrynth. Dancer in the Dark. What Lies Beneath. White Oleander. Holes. Mulholland Dr. Philadelphia. SERENITY!!!

Television:

I don't watch television. But I have to say that my favorite shows, that I have to rent or buy post-season, are: Alias, Scrubs, House, Lost, and Invader Zim. And someone definitely needs to bring back Pinky and the Brain!...for the sake of our children, PLEASE!
