About Me

Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com

I AM a vegetarian. I do love meat, but I just feel so much cleaner and healthier being a vegetarian. Go figure.

I moved to NY from FL in 2005. I lived in FL for my entire life, I was happy to leave hell and come to the frozen tundra of NY. Kidding.

I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelors degree in Anthropology. Now, I am a graduate student at SUNY University at Albany working on my masters in Biocultural Anthropology. My goal, you ask? Well, I have a strange interest in infectious disease, specifically HIV/AIDS and southern africa. I wish to explore the cultural and biological reasons for the pandemic and the effect of violence (structural, cultural, and sexual) on increased HIV/AIDS transmission in women and children. . Sounds hard, I know....

I love to learn, but I LOVE to teach more. It doesn't matter what subject, I like to be up in front of people (not children) talking about things that interest me and educating the masses. It's always useful to know a little something about everything in life.

I have known American Sign Language since I was 9 years old. Now it's fun to teach my friends dirty words and use them in public places.

I used to run 5k everyday, but now I just stick to kayaking, hiking.... you know.... outdoorsy stuff. I love being outside. I also love to camp. I rollerblade, ride bikes, and run around with my dog on a daily basis. I have a black lab. His name is Maximus. I love him :) He is my heart and soul.

I can play 5 instruments (piano, flute, oboe, piccolo, and guitar), but promised myself that I could not move on to the cello until I am proficient on the guitar. I am now bitter toward my guitar for holding me back from the cello.

My Interests

"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box."

I LOVE Victoria's Secret.

I'd like to meet:

Steven J. Gould, George Armelagos, Paul Farmer, my ancestors, Anne Frank, Alice Sebold, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Jackie Onassass, Audrey Hepburn, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Robin Williams, Hillary Clinton, Dave Matthews, Keith Urban, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, the man-in-the-yellow-hat, and my future husband's mother.

Music:

..
adopt your own virtual pet!

Movies:

not KIDS!... I love horror films.. the scarier the better. I'm a huge fan of M.Night especially Signs and The Village. I loved the movies SAW, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Haunting, The Grudge, Thirteen Ghosts, and The Others. The more ghosts and freaky things, the better. I also love the silly romantic comedies like French Kiss, The Sweetest Thing, You've Got Mail, Runaway Bride, My Best friends wedding,Mona Lisa Smile, Pretty Woman (yes I love Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan).

Television:

Prison Break, Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace, Cold Case, HOUSE, CSI, NCIS, Sex and the City, How do I look, Isaac, Whose Wedding is it anyway?, Extreme Home Makeover, Passions, Friends, Jeopardy! (BUT I NEVER GET TO WATCH TV WHILE WORKING 2 JOBS AND GOING TO SCHOOL... SO MAX FILLS ME IN ON WHAT I MISSED)

Books:

The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Origin of Species, Civil Disobedience, Pragmatism, Sea Glass, Lovely Bones, Lucky, Do they hear you when you cry, Mr. Perfect, Letters from Botswana, Fortunes Rocks, The Demon in the Freezer, Necrotizing Fascitis, Mountains Beyond Mountains, La Doctora, Wedding in December, Pilot's Wife, and Where and When. Anita Shrieve is my favorite author... so I have about 3 more books to read of hers, and then I hope she comes up with another one to keep me busy :)

Heroes:

I am my own hero.... if I meet someone whom has endured the same or more hardship and still remains optimistic, they will then become my new hero. Until then... I am it.
