About Me

When I'm not hooked on watching cartoons, I'm busy doing other things to procrastinate from doing my homework. Cleaning, walking the dog, reorganizing the closet, alphabetizing my books...are all highly important things to do when homework is due. I am in grad school to obtain my MA in Psychology and no, before you ask, I am not analyzing you. Even with all this responsibility and such, I still make time to play outside (when it is warm), read entertaining magazines (National Geographic, Gourmet, and Bon Appetite), and call people on the phone to discuss the daily nuances of life, photography, and toast. I like many things but dislike if you use abbreviations like "r" for are, "u" for you, or the supplantation of a word into a single letter. That makes me want to cry and don't even try to be funny by purposely messaging me with these things because I won't find it amusing."There will always be cougars outside." -Chuck Palahniuk

Best line tonight

From a resident... the best line I heard tonight was: R: "Did it hurt?" Me: "What? Did what hurt?" R: "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven...?"
