About Me

For the most part I'm really nice. Just...except for when I'm not. So many variables...I can't really describe myself. I could describe myself or my behavior under any given set of circumstances, but not just in GENERAL. Someone else would have to do that. I can say one thing: I don't feel like myself with short hair. To add to that…I can at times have a rotten nasty temper and a bad attitude, but in fact it is more of a general impatience with things that I find to be counterproductive. ~ I trust my instincts a lot. ~ I am deliciously cynical, but devastatingly optimistic. ~ I would rather be alone doing what I want to be doing than with a group doing something I don't care to be doing. ~ I try to operate with the mindset that absolutely anything, no matter how outrageous, is possible, but also greet all ideas and claims with an appropriate amount of skepticism. ~ I LOVE to eat. I am always on the hunt for the next new and delicious entree. ~ I LOVE to dance. ~ I am on an endless quest, but for what exactly I don’t know. ~ I remind myself often of an idea lifted from George Plimpton’s father: Forget about the pursuit of happiness. That way lies grief. Concentrate on the happiness of pursuit. ~ I plan to begin the application process for the Peace Corps soon, and hope to be accepted and join after I graduate. ~ I RARELY lie, to anyone, about anything. ~ The more I learn, the less I know. ~ I am thoroughly enthralled and in love with Anthony Bourdain. ~ I have a horrible time staying focused. ~ I thoroughly enjoy arguing and even fighting. ~ I am at times rather paranoid. ~ I LOVE to ride horses. And travel and submerge myself in things totally foreign. And then reel at how human and how similar we all really are. And camp. And make jewelry. And sew. And study languages and buy books I may or may not read and decorate almost anything and eat and drink wine and argue and love.~
Rest in peace, Steve Irwin. I'll love you forever.

You Are a Prophet Soul
.. You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone.
Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people.
Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run.
No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way.

You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle.
Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings.
A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning.
You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer.

Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Sometimes I don't like talking to strangers...for as loud and silly as I can be, I'm also really shy and quiet. But I'm not shy(well, yes I am)...just anti-social at times I guess...awkward. To be honest I never think about making NEW friends...but I love it when it happens! I would say, "I'm cool, don't worry!" But actually I can be pretty uptight. I don't mean to, and I don't like it - but that's how it is.***UPDATE*** - I've been thinking, and you know who I'd like to meet, really? Other International Studies majors with a focus in the Middle East and Africa. And anthropology majors/minors. People who speak Arabic or are also in the process of learning it. Other people who dream of seeing the whole world. Other people who fantasize like I do about being something other than narcissistic and self-serving, at least for some time. People who get the hell off their couches and computers and onto a bike or a horse or a bungee cord on the weekends. People who don't mind raising Hell for things that are worthwhile and more than anything, people who never, never want to stop learning or traveling. That is how I would like to be, and that is who I would like to meet. *Yes, I know, everyone who reads this will scream in unison for me to leave San Marcos.

Music Video Codes
Dancehall, Rock, Blues, Classic Rock, Reggae, Ska, Reggaeton, and...whatever you call Patty Griffin, Norah Jones, and Sarah McLachlan...and quite a lot of music from different parts of the world.

Television:

Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, and the History Channel mostly, but...WILL AND GRACE!!! LOVESPRING INTERNATIONAL, Seinfeld, King of the Hill...AND I HATE THE STUPID FAMILY GUY AND I WISH THAT SHOW WOULD DIE AND NEVER COME BACK! *spit* UGH SO THERE
