I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am sometimes outgoing, sometimes shy: depends on the situation, and whom I'm with. Generally, I am more outgoing around my friends, and people I know, and shyer around people I don't know so well, or have just met.Living in Sacramento, attending Sacramento State University where I am studying for my Masters in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).I love to read (mostly nonfiction). As for TV, I like the comedies: "Frasier," "The Big Bang Theory," "Two and a Half Men," "Rosanne," "BlackAdder," and "Fawlty Towers." It is obvious from the TV comedies I watch, that I have a great appreciation for sardonic humor. I also watch crime shows; right now my fave is "Criminal Minds."I love animals, am a huge animal rights advocate, and detest animal abusers! (See my virtual pets 'Callie' and 'Paco' below.)
