Ahhhh, life is good!! :)

About Me

I am originally from Illinois--DeKalb to be exact, right in the middle of CORN COUNTRY!! I'm no longer a mid-westerner though because I moved to Arizona about three years ago and I LOVE IT HERE! I moved out here to pursue the whole Spanish thing, and I just might be here for good. I love the desert, the mountains, and the fact that if I want to, I can go see snow in Flagstaff for a day, and then come back to the glorious Valley of the Sun and leave the cold behind!~~I started Arizona State University's masters program in the fall of '04, which was a mistake. I started ASU again this fall to get my Translation certificate which will be much more useful to me than a Linguistics degree. So far, my classes are going well. I definitely made the right choice.~~I love to run! I have done several small races, three half marathons, and have another one planned for January. Who knew running for miles and miles would be how I 'relax'?!?~~I like to hike and try to fit in a trip up Camelback Mountain every week. It's very convenient to be able to go experience nature in the middle of a metropolitan area. On a clear day, the view is actually really pretty. I love to be at the top when the sun is setting and the valley starts lighting up. If only I was a good photographer and could capture the sights as well as I want to.~~As many of my friends already know, I can be quite goofy, and even if I'm the only one who laughs, that's ok because at least I am entertained! ... I think secretly my friends laugh too, but they will never admit it to me for fear of encouraging me!!~~Also, as many of my friends know, I can be a very opinionated, and I am not afraid to let pretty-much everyone know how I feel about something. Along with my opinions comes my heated (sometimes) overreactions to things when I think someone is being TOTALLY STUPID! So, if you're stupid, then I don't really have the patience for you!

Music:

Here is a short list of what I listen to:The Fray, 30 Seconds to Mars, John Mayer, Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz, U2, Jimmy Eat World, Sublime, Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson

Television:

Two shows I try not to miss: CSI Las Vegas - the New York and Miami shows are a sad attempt to be as cool as the original!!Grey's Anatomy.... can this show be any better?!?!...I DID like Alias until ABC went nuts and wrote Jennifer Garner's pregnancy in the show and killed Michael Vartan's character off. I mean, what were they THINKING?!?!? I guess they weren't, so now Alias is dead to me.

Books:

The Davinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception Point...anyone see a Dan Brown theme here???*Favorite book of all time: A Wrinkle in Time.*Recent Reads: Wicked; the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Devil in the White City -- this was really good. It is about a serial killer during the World's Fair in Chicago-really interesting historical fiction, and interesting if you're into Chicago.*Currently Reading: Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. I hope this is as incredible as his book Ender's Game! I'm only a few pages in, so I've got time to find out....

Heroes:

Nana. Hands down. My grandma was the wisest person I have ever met, and I can only hope that when she checks in on my from time-to-time from wherever she is above, that I am making her proud.
