Isn't it weird how chairs exist even when you're not sitting on them?

About Me


Create yours at BlingyBlob.com!
This fall, I'll be a senior at Hastings College: an English major, emphasis in writing, with a minor in Graphic Design and Visual Media. That's a mouthful. I'm originally from Omaha, but my parents live in Tucson, so my official residence is in Tucson. However, I will probably never reside there. I go back and forth between my two oldest sisters. You could say that they have joint custody. People say that I'm funny. I like to think that I'm witty. I can sometimes say really mean and sarcastic things that hurt people's feelings, not on purpose though. I'm very independent and I'm not really down with clingy or codependent people. I procrastinate when it comes to everything, but if I force myself to do something, I can work forever. I like to think that I'm creative. According to the Myers-Briggs Temperament Test, I am mildly extroverted, an abstract thinker, a feeler, and a perceiver (spontaneous). If you don't know what any of this means, and are interested in sociology, then you should definitely look it up. I like almost everyone and I try not to be around people with whom I don't mesh well. I guess I'm your typical college student, only slightly on the crazy side. I should spend more time studying, but...no. I spend more time in my much-loved extracurricular groups. I'm not really sure where I'll end up after college. I don't want to pin myself down. Everybody says this, but I'd really like to travel after college. I'll stay in Omaha for maybe six months to a year and then I'm off. I'd love to end up in Minneapolis or San Diego. Quite different climate-wise, I know, but I just really like those places. One thing is for sure concerning my whereabouts. It will not be in the Buttfuckegyptland, known to some as western Nebraska. That's pretty much all I got, I'm not one of those "plan ahead" people.
This is at my school. The best Day of Silence ever. This unnamed "Christian" man was silenced after asking his "question." How's that for irony... width="425" height="350" ....

My Interests

Writing, (love to write, I don't ever do it unless it's for a class, though), I write opinion columns for the HC Collegian and I like to write funny short fiction pieces, I also enjoy: Dancing, Music, Any Kind of Art, Tattoos, Movies, Friends, Animals, like Winnie Poo and my "baby bords" and believe it or not, I like school sometimes (one day I will stop procrastinating and start paying attention in classes/learning). One of my new found hobbies is campaigning for change on my campus, especially if it involves Public Safety! I'm part of BACCHUS, an alcohol education group on my campus, but we are not anti-alcohol! I'm also a very active member of Alliance. We promote safety, dignity and respect for all GLBTIQA people and please spare me your opinions on homosexuality. I've freakin' heard them all. I'm also on Team Against Bias and the diversity planning committee.
I like watching movies and reciting lines from them whether they fit what I'm talking about or not. I really like cooking. I like fashion and I wish I had more money to shop. I spend most of my time sitting in a stationary position thinking about philosophical things, like where my life is going, when I should be doing something else. Oh yeah, and I really enjoy prank calling people, probably more than any "adult" should. I think it's like the funniest damn thing in the world.

I'd like to meet:

Open-minded people who are different from me. Also, I'd love to meet Damien Rice, David Gray, Leslie Feinberg, Margaret Cho and Loren Cameron, who I'm going to meet on October 11...National Coming Out Day, whoo.

Music:

I like everything! Although, I'm not the hugest country fan and I don't enjoy much punk rock. My tastes are very eclectic. My favorites are Keane, Beck, Jet, The Shins, Radiohead, Audioslave, The Flaming Lips, James, Snow Patrol, Deftones, Disturbed, Regina Specter, Three Days Grace, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Matchbook Romance, My Morning Jacket, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Damien Rice, David Gray, Better Than Ezra, Maxwell, Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, Our Lady Peace, Incubus, Live, Collective Soul, Aqualung, Sublime, Howie Day, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, 10 Years, Coldplay, Korn, Death Cab for Cutie, Blue October, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Smashing Pumpkins, Dishwalla, System of a Down, plus many more. I like some oldies. I dig the Forrest Gump soundtrack and the soundtracks to Garden State and Love Actually. I also like lots of classic rock like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. I could never choose a favorite band or song of all time, but I would have to say that Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia" and The Stones "Paint it Black" would be in the running. Plus, I am not ashamed to admit that I love hip hop, but solely for it's dance value.

Movies:

Full Metal Jacket, The Last Kiss, Grindhouse, Catch and Release, Prime, Anchorman, The Ref, Good Luck Chuck, Running Scared, Wedding Crashers, Blow, Over the Hedge, The Truth about Cats & Dogs, Boondock Saints, In the Army Now, Pirates of the Caribbean I & especially II, Swingers, Fools Rush In, Heathers, Stripes, The Hot Chick, The Brothers, Cold Mountain, Jarhead, Mr. Wrong, Saving Silverman, Capote, Edward Scissorhands, Crash, Garden State, The Sweetest Thing, Big Fish, The Producers, Shawshank Redemption, Uncle Buck, As Good As It Gets, The Object of My Affection, The Breakfast Club, The Terminal, Cruel Intentions, Ghost Busters, Blind Date, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Son in Law, Fight Club, A Perfect Murder, Pretty Woman, Dead Man on Campus, Life As a House, Hush, A Beautiful Mind, Silence of the Lambs, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, She's the One, Out Cold, Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2, Dead Man Walking, The Exorcist, On Golden Pond, Picture Perfect, Drop Dead Fred, Dirty Dancing, The Mothman Prophecies, Spanglish, Monster, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Little Miss Sunshine, Red Dragon, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, You, Me & Dupree, Sleepers, The Great Outdoors, Love Actually; I'm a total movie buff. I have so many favorites! I can probably recite them for you beginning to end also!

Television:

Family Guy and CSI (the real one, not Miami or NY), I could watch the Food Network all day long and I'm not proud to say that I have. I love anything on FuelTV, I'm kind of a wannabe. I like America's Next Top Model and What Not to Wear. Lately, I'm way into trashy reality shows like The Bad Girls Club and I Love New York. That's entertainment! I also love love love So You Think You Can Dance. I used to dance and it's probably my most favorite thing to do in the world.

Books:

Everybody Poops, The Canterbury Tales, (especially the Summoner's Tale), He's Just Not That Into You, The Great Gatsby, Behaving Like Adults, A Tale of Two Cities, The Funny Thing Is..., Dante's Inferno, No Exit (hmm, an interesting mix of literary classics and relationship self-help books). Oh yeah, and Don't Jump: Life's Really Worth It. (It isn't mine...but I glanced at it). I'm currently reading Leslie Feinberg's "Transgender Warriors...fascinating stuff.

Heroes:

My Uncle Willy, Aunt Nancy (ALWAYS trying to help people), Mr. Burt, Mrs. Adams and Sr. Jensen (Mercy High teachers who taught me that success is not defined by how much money you make), Loren Cameron, Leslie Feinberg and Robin Ochs.

If this bed was on fire, I still don't think I would be able to get up!

It was so good, I just came all over it.

Ah, my life. So uninteresting right now. Or maybe it isn't...I don't know. I am super moody this week. Most people could probably figure out why, or at least most women could sympathize. If you don't ...

It's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball

I would like to apoplogize, in advance, for anything rude that I might say or do to anyone in the next couple of days. I am so fucking annoyed right now, I could go ape shit at anytime for any reason....
