About Me

i'm quite complicated. i'm too nice. i'm very compromising. i try to see the good in people. i haven't found a happy medium. i have issues, and i'm not afraid to admit that (everyone does. some are just better at hiding them). this section to be continued...

Take the quiz:
Which Planet are you

Saturn
You are smart and cunning and you have a beautiful, awesome personality. If people knew about it, you would have many friends. Unfortunately, they don't. You are Saturn.

My Interests

communication, travel, observing life, survival (mental, emotional, and physical)

I'd like to meet:

someone who knows how to send a message and strike up a conversation before sending a friend request.

people who realize there is no "normal".

the person who sets the timing on traffic lights.

anyone buried in a pyramid... how did they get such a large team of people to continue contstruction after they were dead?

someone willing to be my live-in math tutor

Music:

i *heart* 80s alternative. i try to avoid: rap, hip hop, some techno, most country. want to know what i listen to? read my blog! you can see what's in the cd player at the moment...

Movies:

princess bride, royal tenenbaums, love actually, whispers in the dark (i'm a sucker for a crazy whodunit), dark crystal, usual suspects, harry potter (the books are better), crouching tiger hidden dragon (a tear-jerker must). i'm a movie addict. even spent two years working at blockbuster during my early college years.

Television:

24, prison break, deadliest catch, shark week. i love discovery, tlc, and hgtv, and i try to collect culinary training tips from the food network.

Books:

i've only had time to read textbooks lately.

My Blog

strangulation vs. asphyxiation

another week of life's little lessons... i realized while driving around nearly all day that i'm better as a go-between meet/greet missing link connection to better one's life than i am a potential si...

it's a beautiful day for prank calling

i wonder if anyone ever responds to prank callers with a "oh baby, yeh yeh, that's just the way i like it," or maybe a "when can you come over?" i keep thinking it's a friend playing a joke on m...

weekly lessons (and it's only tuesday)

i have a breaking point. sunscreen doesn't last all day without reapplication. i can trust that i won't be tossed overboard despite the wave size. sometimes when you let something go, it works out. i'...

cancelling vacations

i suppose it comes down to the fact that i really wanted to go despite the latest situation. i probably should've gone anyway, but it just didn't seem right. it's so odd to me how if somet...

roses, insomnia, finals week, and swing dancing

my week so far: a dozen roses can't help but make my day, even if they were thanks for a favor. it's best to force oneself to sleep even when there are more important things to do. sleep depriva...

reflections in the mirror

i honestly didn't realize how much i've changed over the past year until i arrived at work 15 minutes ago. it's so odd to me that people don't recognize me. when i see myself in the mirror...

the physics of life

it's nearly 4am, and i can't sleep. i suppose it's partially by choice. i feel slightly guilty for not spending enough time preparing for my tests later today. so just a quick note b...
