In A Little While

About Me

I'm a pretty easy going girl and a generally happy person. Apparently the best word that describes me, or at least the most common, is cute. I have two degrees in art history and theater. I stage managed mostly in college, but I also did virtually everything behind the scenes at one time or another, directed, and acted. I love to draw, paint, and sculpt. I have secret desires to be a photographer, actor, singer, interior designer, artist, writer and Renaissance woman, but in reality I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. Honestly, if it combines the arts and helping people, especially kids, then I'm on board. I am currently leaving my retail job as a store manager of a Things Remembered to go back to school. I was recently accepted into the Teacher Intern Program at Wilson College and start classes this semester. So, hopefully, in 2 years I will be a high school English teacher! Until then, I need to find another job to pay the bills. I studied in Italy for a semester and it was one of the best times of my life! I've studied Spanish, German, and Italian. Right now I live pretty far away from all of my friends, but I'm still traveling and having a good time. Viva La Dolce Vita!

My Interests

Music, Movies, Art, Museums, Zoos and Aquariums, Theater, Video Games (especially Atari, Sega, and Playstation 2), WoW, Volleyball and Football, Camping, Cooking, Dancing, Going to bars and clubs, Traveling (particularly to Europe) and road trips, Sheep, my dog, collecting Hard Rock pins, Joey, my awesome and amazing Friends, making people's days a little brighter, Sushi, Reading, Renaissance Faires, Alice in Wonderland, Pop-up books, Mini-golf, Billiards, Picnics, Cherries, Stickers, Presents, Opals, Letters (real ones with handwriting and stamps and things), the Fall and things that come with it like Apple Cider, pumpkins, changing leaves, and Halloween, Chai tea, Seafood, Bookmarks, Candles, Masks, Wine and wine-tasting, and crossword puzzles with Cory

I like a pretty wide range of movies too. I love animated movies, 80's teen flicks, romantic comedies, dramas, thrillers, and sci fi/fantasy stuff.
