About Me

Eh, I don't know. I'm short. I laught a lot, usually because I don't hear what someone just said, or I don't know how else to respond, or because I'm drunk. That said, I'm a good little Irish girl and like to drink...as well as partake in other "illegal" recreational activities. That sounds much worse than intended. I'm guessing most people think I'm random. I'm kinda gullible, people think I'm really nice and I don't understand why. I'm sarcastic and I hate over-rated people almost as much as I hate slow-walkers. I've gotten myself into so many embarrassing situations I'm surprised that I haven't shot myself in the face. Speaking of face, I've gotten hit in the face with a lot of balls, and not those kind of balls you pervs. I mean, volleyballs, basketballs, softballs (while sitting in the stands at a game!) tennis balls, and I guess that's it. Hmmm, I think everyone can understand the randomness now. I love Chicago and probably show way too fierce of Chicago pride. I have a master's degree, but I barely remember what I wrote my thesis on. I pretty much bullshit and half-ass everything. I used to hate myspace but it's beginning to grow on me, I guess. The end.
