About Me

I'm a paradox, and I'm comfortable with that. I'm not the easiest person to understand and I'm ok with that. I don't have the most friends on the planet but the ones I do have will do whatever it takes to keep me safe, and I will do the same for them.I have just over a semester left at the University of Illinois, and then it's back to the real world... well until the Physicist convinces me that I need an MBA.I love people, am usually extremely friendly and love being the center of attention. I have some great stories (well they're great the first time you hear them), and I will go to obscene lengths to make you laugh.I also have a low threshold for bullshit and if you're a drama King or Queen, leave me the hell alone.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Lance Armstrong-I'm not big on hero worship but I'd love to meet Lance. If I could go back in time- Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Saladin, and a host of others.

The Job Fair, the Shoes, and Just How Tired I Am

So the job fair is over and you can chalk up the shoes to the "frivolous purchase" category for the rest of time. I like them, and they are nice, but the leather is far to soft and far to prone to sc...
