About Me

I was born Charla Burgdorf in '78 in Canyon, TX. Graduated high school there in '96. Married Jeremy Lemoine in '97. Gave birth to Lucy in '00. Moved to Seattle in '02. Got a degree in architecture at UW in '07, and now I'm working on my masters there. So, that's what I do now; I'm a wife and mom who goes to architecture school, plays video games, rocks out, theoreticizes, makes bad jokes, reads, loves to cackle like an old witch, watches movies, quilts, knits, embroiders, wishes she spoke better German, and mostly be's happy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

.... I'm deleting the mean, friend repelling message I had here... I don't know who I'd like to meet. If you think I'd like to meet you, ask me and i'll tell you. :D is that nicer? I'd also like to meet Mike Mccready... Gandhi... or that Ben Kingsley guy who played him in the movie, since the real Gandhi is dead... dangit. I'd kind of like to not meet Peter Zumthor... or any famous architects really. especially Frank Gehry. i'd like to not meet him. I'd like to meet Calatrava, I guess, but he's from spain, and i never really like people from spain when i get to know them. I'd like to meet more people who like to hear me talk. beacuse, although i know a lot of those people, i don't know quite enough of them to permit me to talk every waking minute of the day, which means that every day i have to be disappointed for a little while. but myspace helps, because i think it rigs the numbers of how many people read your blog to make you think more people do so you'll write more. if you made it this far, i'd like to meet you.

My Blog

Pretend winter didn't happen

I guess I went a while without writing a blog... I've been very busy. The most important/kick ass thing is that I got accepted to graduate school here at UW. So, I get my bachelors in June, then start...
