I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a good kid who sometimes does bad things. However, I think I'm pretty rockin. I'm done dealing with stupid boys...but definitely not done dealing with boys in general. Soooo...I'm finishing up my undergrad in music ed. I want to go to grad school in ethnomusicology. I want to form a badass girl group full of sexy and amazing. I want to stop sneezing today. That covers my bases pretty much =)

My Interests

Usually just staring off into space, but I like other stuff, too. Like hot baths. And dogs. And reading...how about sleeping? Yeah, that's a good activity. Oh, and I go out dancing a lot. Especially if a hot redhead accompanies me and we heat up the dance floor. Woot! Hahahaha...

I'd like to meet:

Your mother.

Last night. Weird stuff in Moscow

So yeah. We were going to try to play a game of rambo, aka "ninja tag," when we heard police were running around with rifles. Being the smart kids we are, we decided to check out what was going on. Th...

Months later...

I admittedly have an odd thought process. Reading Capote's In Cold Blood, my mind wandered to the whole mortality thing. And then it occurred to me: only several months before, I sat in some hospital ...

Some drunk frat guys and Jack.

Post party reflections. Warning...may be crappy.

The humor in Hitler

We are all aware that Hitler's Mein Kampf is not exactly light reading or happy or anything. The guy was pretty screwed up in the head in my opinion....however, his book has brought me several moments...

My thoughts on people...volume 1

I intend to write about my experiences at work tonight. I had to work in books with a girl for whom I am not always fond. She tends to be lazy, yet still talks very highly of herself, a combination wh...

The dark side of friendship
