I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello, as you've probably gathered, my name is Nicole, and I'm a 19 year old junior at Sonoma State University. My majors are in History and Global Studies with an emphasis in Eastern Europe. In addition, I am also a music minor, all of which pretty much adds up to me being insane. After college, I hope to pursue a masters in either Egyptology or Public Administration with an emphasis in International Development and become one of those crazy community college academics that everyone is secretly afraid to take classes from. Outside of school, I like to read, write, sing (duh), take a lot of walks, drink spicy teas, and gripe about how misunderstood Muslims and people in the Middle East are. Further, I absolutely ADORE traveling, and am heading to Eastern Europe for three-and-a-half weeks this summer with my brother and a few of the people I went on tour to Egypt with. I'm a complete xenophile, and could go on for DAYS about how wonderful other cultures are, so if you want to travel (particularly to places like South Africa or Morocco), let me know! What else...? Well, I guess I could mention that my jobs are of the barista variety usually, and that I know a shit-ton about a lot of really random stuff. In fact, I once read a book that said that Aquarians (like me) are like encyclopedias with some of the pages missing. Therefore, I probably know SOMETHING about what people are talking about, just not always that much... If you want to know anything else, I guess you can just message me or something--I'm basically an open book because I've always theorized that if people already know plenty about you, they can't really speculate.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Opera, writing, politics, history, reading, dancing (extremely badly)

I'd like to meet:

Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Lucia Micarelli, Katie MacAlister, Gail Carson Levine, Jamie Bamber, Meg Ryan, Allison Croggon, Sharon Den Adel, Eric Bana, Christian Bale, Delta Goodrem***Delta Goodrem: Bare Hands

Music:

I'll just do genres here, because the list goes on and on: opera, popera, electronica, some pop, metal, alternative

Movies:

Hmm... this list also goes on and on, so I like romantic comedies, stupid teen movies (on occasion), historical films, basically anything with Meg Ryan in it, and action movies... actually, I'm not really all that picky when it comes down to it, so drag me along to anything!

Television:

My absolute favorite show is 'Coupling' on the BBC, but other than that,I'm not much for TV, but I like 'House', 'What I Like About You', 'Robin Hood', 'Ugly Betty', 'How I Met Your Mother', 'Life is Wild', 'Cashmere Mafia', 'New Amsterdam', and 'Horatio Hornblower' though admittedly the last is more of an excuse to watch hot guys in uniform actually function for a change. Basically, you'll have me hooked if it's historical or has an ironic/ intelligent sense of humor.

Books:

Another list that never ends: historical romances, supernatural romances, teen romances... you get the ideaMy top five, however, are: The Gift by Allison Croggon The Turn of the Screw by Henry James The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot Pope Joan Antonio's Wife by Jacqueline DeJohn*update* Everyone (by which I mean girls) should read Maria V. Snyder's "Study" books!Then, however, I love comedy, so I'm totally hooked on Christopher Moore's books right now, especially 'Lamb'

Heroes:

My mom (sappy, I know), my oma, and my grandpa!

So at work on Friday...

This guy came in wearing all black, which was already suspicious, but then he went up to the second floor. There, he picked up a book, walked out to the balcony, stood on the ledge, and flipped off. ...

New Profile

Well, it's not so much a new profile as a revamp. I really wanted to have a graphic work of my own in the background, and as pretty as my page was, I was starting to find it boring anyway. So I then...
