I am here for Friends

About Me

i am finishing up my first degree at ku and work as a cardiology/radiology/phlebotomy/lab tech at a doctor's office here in town. i'm working on figuring out exactly what i want to be when i grow up, but mostly i just want to be a kid again (i miss those days)... i desperately want to join the peace corp and go to nepal. i come from a big family (the youngest of five), and hate the question "where are you from?"... why, you ask? because i am not from ANYWHERE. i grew up a military kid and have no claims to home. i was born in new york and grew up mostly in germany, with plenty of places in between, so you choose. i am an artist and want to grow up to be a hippie. i like to be healthy and in shape. i am a vegan (off and on...) and hate when people ask me why. i deeply care about people and sometimes feel like i was given more than my fair share of emotions. i thrive: my hair, my room, my location, NOTHING stays the same way too long. i get antsy when they do. i clean when i'm upset or stressed and drool when i'm happy. i can't dance, but wish i could. i can't sing, but try anyway. and i'm always making "to do" lists and life plans. always. the most important thing to know about me? i'm a laugher. i love to find the humor in just about every situation, and i almost always have a smile on my face. don't get me wrong, i can be serious, too (i'm actually quite anal and a definite perfectionist), but why not enjoy life if you can? want to be my favorite person? just make me laugh.

My Interests

i like chai tea, text messaging, a good pair of jeans, art (i'm an oil painter and a sculptor), poker, films with subtitles, road trips, volunteering (i miss HQ!), yoga, singing very loudly in my car, sushi, dark beers (especially guinness and oatmeal stout from freestate), hippies, more specifically being a hippie, fall, traveling, meeting genuine people, getting my hair cut, having someone tickle my back, organizing, trees, spending time with family, sudoku, guitar hero (i rock!), netflix, my new church, typing in all lower-case letters, not having to work on weekends, the rain, nature in general, fresh pineapple, cleaning, buttercream yankee candles, going home to mom and dad, afternoons at the dog park, bread! planning out my life, learning things about myself i didn't know, growing up...

Music:

i listen to most kinds of music and like anything that moves me, but my absolute favorite band is the counting crows... i'm borderline obsessed.

Movies:

i love watching movies and i couldn't pick a favorite, but some i love are: gladiator, last of the mohicans, french kiss, dear frankie, saving grace, braveheart, elf... i have netflix and now have a new favorite every other day or so...

Television:

grey's anatomy, lost, the office, project runway... i honestly don't watch much tv, if any, but these are definitely my favorites.

Books:

some of my favorites: the alchemist, the giver, ishmael, a child called it, the davinci code, angels and demons, yoga for dummies, the perks of being a wallflower, my ishmael, the story of b, the harry potter books (slightly ashamed to say that) blue like jazz, purpose driven life, eat pray love... the list goes on. i also really enjoy reading non-fiction books, like how-to books. i usually end up loving whatever book i am reading... current book: catch-22

Heroes:

i like to be my own hero... people let you down so frequently that you have to be able to stand on your own two feet and not rely on others for strength.

My Blog

my favorite poem...

  i carry your heart with mei carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) ...
