I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I finally succumbed to MySpace, which proves I will do anything to avoid being productive. I recently graduated from Western Washington University in Bellingham with degrees in psychology and sociology, and I am currently job hunting for anything that doesn't involve food or retail until I figure out the grad school situation. I'm super laid back, but I also like spontaneous adventures and the occasional night of mayhem. I love my friends, going to shows, school, movies, and reading. Music is my life, and it is usually playing in some form wherever I am at any time. I'm liberal, but politics are too frustrating to keep my attention much of the time. I believe in truth, respect, responsibility, personal autonomy and love. Beyond that, I have no fucking clue what's going on ;) And that's the way I like it, because life is about discovering who you are and what the world has to offer. My biggest fears are spiders, roller coasters, and ghosts. I tend to laugh at everything, even after it has stopped being funny. Wow, I just said 'I' a lot. Wanna know anything else, ask. ..

My Interests

Chick flicks, chillaxing, cleaning, CNN, coffee shops, college, cooking, cruising at night, dancing, daydreaming, going to shows, horror movies, learning new stuff, liberals, lighthouses, literature, mixed CD's, meeting new people, M-U-S-I-C!!!!, my friends, naps, reading, Seattle/B-ham/Vancouver BC music scene, the ocean, Tim Burton movies, philosophy, poker, psychology, purple, Scrabble, smoothies, sociology, staying up too late, sunrises, sunsets, wine, WWU, the usual.

I'm 21....

Friday was amazing. I really didn't need 12 drinks, but oh well. You only turn 21 once. I love all my friends for putting up with me all night. You are all precious.

Hot Hot Hot!

One day of summer is enough for me. I sweated more walking home from the bus stop than I did during my workout. That's just not right. How long until fall? ugh. I'm just not a heat person.

Home to the 'couve

I'm going home to Vancouver this weekend. I'll be back sometime Tuesday. Miss me. Why does it have to be so fucking cold in both of my cities?

"I am half dead from all these love songs...."

Today is Valentine's day, and I think this is the least I have ever cared. I'm not at all depressed about being single, because really my life is full of other great stuff right now to distr...

Spinning on that dizzy edge....

I'm in a wonderful mood. I can't acredit a causal connection to any particular moderator of this positive affective state, but it's probably a combination of the contributions...

Homesick at home?????

So I'm in Vancouver where I have lived since I was 4 years old, yet I am feeling homesick for Bellingham. I guess I am reaching that point where my Bellingham life is beginning to overwhelm the Vancou...

Who feels accomplished?????

I do. Because I just finished Atlas Shrugged after literally two years of on and off reading. In my defense, the book is just shy of 1,100 pages, and revolves around alot of  extreme ob...
