About Me

Home | Mail | Blog | Forum | Groups | Videos | Music | Comedy
I am:
A social work major
A Veteran
A Michigander
Accident prone
Sometimes spontaneous
Foolish
A little unchaste
Owner of a heart filled sleeve
Hopeless romantic, but mainly just hopeless
Not good at being mean
Indecisive
Forgetful
Sensitive
Repetitive
Repetitive
Lacking train of thought
Slightly perverted
Lover of laughter
Naive
Over-thinker
Indifferent
Human

Also:
I make lots of mistakes
I don't use segues
I iron my jeans
My favorite movie is All About Eve
I have a permanent cut in my left eyebrow
From walking into the corner of a wall
As a toddler
I have a chicken pox scar
On the left side of my nose
And I love it
I totaled three cars
two in a six month period
I listen to the same song over and over
Until I hate it
Same thing with food
I heard it falls in some category of obsession
I don't split poles
Nor buy the front item on the rack or shelf
Too many people touched it
I talk to myself
I laugh at my own jokes
Finishing my BSW
Then obtain a Master of Social Work
Open my own non-profit
in suicide prevention
called Roger's Grace
Fall madly in love lust
Fall madly in lust love
Buy a cairn terrier and name him Charlie
And:
Some friends call me Kristina
Other friends call me Kris
She calls me her sister
and I call Him my brother
My cousin is beyond wonderful
He knows how to party
She is the party
And the other is dreamy
The way to my heart is with a box of Zebra cakes
I love hugs, tattoos and my Mom (oh so much)!
Those are the basics.
"You call it paranoia, I call it keeping overly aware of your surroundings." ~Me
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. ~Franois Duc de La Rochefoucauld
"It is... axiomatic that we should all think of ourselves as being more sensitive than other people because, when we are insensitive in our dealings with others, we cannot be aware of it at the time: conscious insensitivity is a self-contradiction." ~W. H. Auden
"You tiresome man!" cried Indolentio's wife, "You've grown indifferent to all in life." "Indifferent?" he drawled with a slow smile; "I would be, dear, but it is not worth while." ~Apuleius M. Gokul
Associate with those who seek the truth; avoid those who have found it ~Author Unknown

I never knew I was such a person and all it took was a seminar

I have learned a new pet peeve of mine: People on the El or Subway who stand up a full stop before they have to get off. Especially when it is the Cecil B. Moore/Temple University stop. It takes an ex...

Happiness and Pepper Spray

Some reason, I can run in stilettos, but can't manage to walk a straight line in any type of flats. Today, for the millionth time, I tripped. I blame the crappy sidewalks in Old City, but we all know ...

On a lighter note

I know that my blogs have become immensely emo lately and I am going through a lot emotionally, but the only reason they are so emo is so I won't be an 'tickle me emo' in real life. If you don't know ...

And then there was one

I have finished crying for the most part and have no idea why. I still have that 'verge of tears' feeling and think it is from just being overwhelmed. Emotionally I have been in an uproar. I don't kno...

Something short, something awkward

I have been slightly sleep deprived, waking up for school each morning, headed to work and just not being able to sleep. I sleep with the TV on every night since the noise and flashing lights seem to ...

Fears of sighing

I wrote a blog out about work and its difficulties, school and its difficulties and the classes in which I try not to fall asleep in, but I think I need to let it known that I am scared. Scared that I...
