About Me

We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens... The diversity of the phenomena of Nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment. - Johannes Kepler, Mysterium Cosmographicum
I am opinionated, strong-willed and enthusiastic. I blame the stubborness on the Irish side of my family. I grew up in a small town where everyone literally knows everyone. I think I am pretty down to earth and I'm definitely easy to get along with. Anyone who can't get along with me is trying too hard. I like having fun and living life to its fullest. I'm one of those people that just goes and if you want to come along, hop right on in, but I'm going whether you want to or not! I love being free to do whatever I want and I hate monotony. I tend to be blunt and sarcastic at times, so if you don't like it, piss off! :) I have many different interests, but they primarily include geology, music, movies, and animals.
I'm a geology major at Chico State and I just graduated from Butte College with a couple of degrees in University Studies and Social and Behavioral Sciences. I plan on majoring in Geology with an emphasis in Volcanology (not the study of Vulcans... geez guys, look at the spelling! Not to mention I much prefer Star Wars.) When I was a little girl, I was fascinated by volcanoes, but terrified that Mt. Shasta was going to erupt and kill me, little did I know that lava doesn't travel uphill. (Go ahead and laugh, it's silly, I know.) I genuinely love rocks and I'm fascinated by the processes that have created and shaped our planet. Ultimately, I would like to teach Geology at the college level. I have to say that my current Geology Instructor, Colin Ferguson has been the inspiration for that decision. He is an amazing teacher and I would love to be as talented as him.
My second love is music. Mostly just listening to it, but I did play Alto Saxophone for 7 years (haven't played it since high school) and I play my electric guitar every once in a while. I am constantly listening to music or singing, I guess you could say that music is my "drug" of choice. I love to turn up my music and dance around the house singing at the top of my lungs. You might even catch me singing in public, but don't count on it.
I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I also like playing video games.
Also, I adore animals. Ever since I was a little girl I've loved dogs. I've had dogs my entire life and my favorite would have to be Nelleigh. Nelleigh just recently passed away and honestly, it has left a big hole in my heart. She was my baby and I miss the hell out of her. She's the best dog that could possibly have ever existed. I like cats, but not nearly as much as dogs. As far as other animals (non-pet types) go, I love Giant Pandas, Polar Bears and Cheetahs. I'm sort of an animal rights activist, but not crazy like some people get. I was a vegan for a while (had to stop due to health concerns) but I am still very passionate about treating animals well.
That's probably all you need to know, should you require more information, you know how to contact me. Amy --

I never thought moving out could be so stressful.  This will be the fourth time I've moved and it's definitely the worst.  It couldn't have come at a worse time, but I suppose the past weeks...

So I started running again...

I ran two miles the other night just to get myself started on running again and I must say, I felt fantastic afterwards.  I didn't realize how much I missed it 'til I got on the track last night....
