The things I have done in my life I have done because I wanted to and because it interested me. ~Mar

About Me

I would like to say that I am a really simple person who just likes to live her life quietly and doesn't like drama, but unfortunatly only part of that is true. I hate drama and always seem to be in the middle of it. I also seem to be the person that everyone needs to talk to but I rarely have anyone that I can talk to.After many years of not really knowing what I want to be when I grow up I had a chance to have a great teacher in an anthropology class who got me extremely interested in the field and I decided to go back to school and FINALLY finish my bachelor's in Biological Anthropology and Primate Behavior/Ecology. This means that I will study humans and our closest relatives the primates! And yes evolution... and please don't believe what you've heard... you can be an evolutionist and a Christian! Did you know Darwin was studying theology before he left on his famous adventure aboard the H.M.S. Beagle.Well, that's the Reader's Digest version of me!
Which season are you?
Winter
You're detached from others and you have very heavy feelings and emotions. You're the coldest of all seasons and/or people. It's difficult for you to allow others to be close to you for fear of rejection and pain. Not everyone was just born with a Winter personality. This happens when someone's been through tough times, and you seem like one of them. The Summer folks are the ones who judge and criticize you the most. They don't understand you and you don't understand them. They see you as cold and unfriendly, and you see them as..perhaps fake? They don't seem to have or have ever dealt with any of the many emotions you have. With Spring, those people tend to annoy you. They're not as unfriendly, but they'll get under your skin. Your best bet is to find yourself around Fall people. They're not as..say deep? But they can relate to how you're feeling.

My Interests


You Are Pinot Noir
Sophisticated and worldly, you probably know more about wine than most drinkers.
You have great taste, and you approach all aspects of life with a gourmet attitude.
You believe that the little things in life should be cherished and enjoyed... and of the best quality possible.
And while you may take more time to eat a meal or tour a city, it's always time well spent.

Deep down you are: A seductive charmer

Your partying style: Refined. And you would never call it "partying"

Your company is enjoyed best with: Stinky expensive cheese What Kind of Wine Are You?

I'd like to meet:

there are many people i would like to meet...but the most important thing is that whom ever i meet in my life i want them to be interesting and leave me with having been able to learn something from them.
Background Artist:
Melody Hay This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Music:

I love lots of different music. I tend to look to my friends and family for suggestions on things to listen to because I so rarely listen to the radio.

Movies:

I grew up watching Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Casablanca, Giant, Pillow Talk, the original Ocean's Eleven. I love them!

Television:

I love The Office, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Men In Trees, and many other good shows. But I also enjoy other unique shows that most people think are a little weird or boring. Such as my chemistry teacher told us about a Nova episode that was on how scientists found absolute zero and when I got home I set my DVR to record it the next time it was one. Hey... I like science!

Books:

"Time Traveller's Wife"... one of my favorite books. I always have a few books I'm reading at once. Right now I'm reading Einstein: His life and Universe, What Is Evolution, and The Dead Sea Scrolls. I also made a deal with my friend Lorisa to read two chapters a week of Stephan Jay Gould's Ever Since Darwin. On top of all the reading we both have to do for school!

Heroes:

In general my heroes are my grandparent's... They were amazing people who left a very big impression on this world. If in my life I can be half of what they were I will feel truly blessed.
