About Me


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

Well, hey there, I'm Eliza. It's impossible to capture oneself in a paragraph, but heres an attempt: I'm fairly simple yet also deeply complex. It doesn't take much to make me happy: just good friends, some good music, and some good food. I truly love life... sure sometimes it can get pretty sucky, but there's so much brilliance, so much color, so much to taste and touch and feel and see. There are so many people to meet, talk to, and listen to. It really saddens me that one day this is all going to be over. Jesus christ is my lord and savior-- being a christian has some negative connotations to it, that it's close minded, etc. but if anything the main thing i have gotten from christianity is to love everyone with your whole heart-- not discriminate. I also really love science. I'm not amazing it, but I love knowing how things work and what's behind them. I don't see any problem with both being religious and logical. I believe in being who you truly are, not taking anything too seriously, and living each day as your last. I have really juvinielle humour, i tend to giggle at really stupid boyish things, quote anchorman too much, and say "thats what she said" every second. I love the outdoors; hiking, rock climbing, etc. but also i love big cities. I'm a vegetarian and have been one for around three years, its one of the best desicions I've ever made. I speak some chinese and french. I play guitar (and I want to learn to play the ukelele, the banjo, and the violin at some point). I worry too much. I love theatre and the arts. I take ballet and modern dance and have been in a ton of plays and musical theatre productions. However my favorite thing is most definetly improv. I love traveling; I want to go everywhere. This summer I'm going to live in china for 6 weeks and work for the Obama campaign. I have no idea what I want to do with my life (I'm still high school... i have time...) but overall I think I want to do something thats helps people or involves music. I'm a walking set of opposites. I have a mild caffeine addiction because I tend to stay up way too late for no reason. My favorite foods are tomato soup, macaroni, ben and jerry's, strawberries, and pizza. I want to try and do (almost) everything. I'm a huge dork-- you have no idea. Im awkward, enjoy scifi, comic books, and the science channel (i could go on...). Knowledge and love are the most important things. I don't know. I'm all types of things. I like almost every type of music. I have all different types of friends. I like all different types of clothes, and shows, and foods. I'm a walking set of opposites. I guess I'm still finding out who I am. Finally, I plan on changing the world.
how about we get to know one another?
im not on myspace as much as i used to be, there are much more important things.
