Baby you know if you're not beautiful, just cover it up

About Me

Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, they're from Georgia. But us Virginia girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it.
So, let's reveal a little here: For someone so simple-minded, I'm a pretty complicated person. I have a love/hate relationship with vet school. I've turned into a baking fanatic. I like to make other people smile. I love feeling appreciated. I have a false sense of romance that stems from too many sappy movies and emo lyrics. I am really happy when my friends show interest in things that I love, but I can get cranky about other people that I don't know that like the same things that I like. I like to brag about my brothers. Newport in the summer is pretty much the closest thing to heaven. I'd do anything for my friends. I like to be the center of attention, but I am also extremely insecure. I worry about people a lot. The little things in life are important to me. I spent a month in New Zealand and I still love to tell stories about it. It drives me crazy that I'm not the horseback rider that I used to be. I think I'm a little OCD at times. Although my mom and dad drive me crazy at times, I feel like I am taking on more and more of their characteristics daily. Education is important to me. I've seen Less Than Jake play more times than I can count. I'm a redneck at heart---I like tractors and guns, oh, and cheap beer. My dog is pretty fantastic. I am an awful dancer and an even worse singer. Veterinarian does not equal vegetarian. I take a lot of pictures. If I like you, I'll buy you things. I like things that match. I think the only way to live my life is to be in over my head at all times. I miss Northern Virginia. You're better off not asking me about things that I like because I will get excited and go off on long, random tangents. I'm a rare person that loves their job. I am in a permanent state of dehydration. I have a hard time holding grudges. I'm way more girly than I'd like to ever admit: I rarely dress up, but I like clothes, shoes, and accessories. I love meeting new people. I tell lots of boring stories. Sometimes I'm happiest when I can just hang back and watch events unfold. One of my biggest pet peeves is a weak handshake. I appreciate the price of milk.
I could write so many things here and you still wouldn't know much about me.

My Interests

Laughing at dumb jokes, being an idiot, blabbering about cows and horses, publically making out with Justin Timberlake, firing back with "your mom" to any and all comments, missing my hardcore crew and Fairfax kids, trying to impress people to no avail, pretending to have things under control, rocking out to bands nobody else has ever heard of, dancing like the whitest of white people, drinking like a true heavyweight, being THAT girl at the bar, stalking hot guys, attempting to train my black labs (Dakota and Indie), relating everything in life to Seinfeld and Saved By The Bell, being lame in general.

I'd like to meet:

Your mom. Because your dad just isn't as funny.

Justin Timberlake, so that I can touch his hair. Maybe some other stuff of his too.

Music:

Less than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, Taking Back Sunday, Zebrahead, Panic! At the Disco, Suicide Machines, Fall Out Boy, Sublime, New Found Glory, Goldfinger, Rancid, Spring Heeled Jack, Catch 22, Reel Big Fish, Brand New, Arrogant Sons of Bitches, MXPX, RX Bandits, basically anything Ska/Punk/Emo. Also Country. Plus Cheezy 80s music.

Movies:

The Karate Kid, Forrest Gump, The Goonies, Life as a House, Indianna Jones, Star Wars, Pretty in Pink, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, Garden State, kiddie horse flicks (The Black Stallion, etc), anything 80s just about, corny Disney movies...wait, basically just all movies pretty much. I'll watch anything, and I'll watch it about 10 million times.

Television:

Classic Seinfeld and Saved By The Bell Episodes. Miami Ink. Biggest Loser. Dr. 90210. Celebrity Fit Club. Project Runway. Law & Order SVU. I Love the 80s. Nick at Night all the way baby. Like a true fat kid, I'm also known to zone out to the Food Network (mmm, cupcakes!)

Books:

I don't know how to read.

Heroes:

Your mom.

Show me "sand the floor"

Ugh, I feel terrible and have no motivation right now...so I'm resorting to writing (more) stupid shit and watching the Karate Kid.  Go me. This week has been a disaster for me, I feel.  Fir...

Fudgie the Whale

My three day weekend has been going pretty well so far.  I mean, not in the productivity front (in terms of school at least), but I've been doing a lot of sleeping and somewhat relaxing. Friday I...

Gimme dem ovaries! Oh, and I’ll take your uterus, too.

I am absolutely exhausted. It's been quite the week.  Last Saturday was the Heifer Hoedown.  I ended up volunteering to sit at the door for a half hour because last year, Blair and I had bee...

Biopsy & refer

Hey, remember that time I used to write entries somewhat routinely??  I guess all that's shot. I've been trucking along at a pretty good pace.  Last weekend was a fun one, given that we didn...

I just want to reassure you...

...of the fact that I still want to marry Justin Timberlake.  In my patheticness, I skipped the two hours of reptile medicine for Zoo Med today so that I could come home and watch Oprah since he ...

How fragile we are, we just don’t show it

Over the past couple of weeks, I've had little oddities pop into my head or funny scenarios play out and actually thought of writing them down.  However, it's the same old song...I get wrapped up...

Discover writing perfection

...but not here.  That's just a line from the back of my G2 pen pack.  Which, by the way, is the greatest pen ever made. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead.  I've just been insane...
