About Me

I suppose I best change this now because I didn't get married "last August" anymore, but Aug. of 2005. I like to say "Twenty O Five" instead of "Two thousand Five", I don't know why, what's your opinion? I almost forgot to leave in the joy of randomness...Some things never change...(also my strange love of ellipses) ................................................. I STILL really like backpacking, even when I am sure I'm about to go careening down a many thousand foot slope because the wind is throwing me down...well maybe I don't exactly like it at that moment but after I'm done almost dying and finished with hysterical crying then it's real premium times! ................................................ I'm an American Sign Language Interpreter...at least I am on the side...I really dig it but, well...I had to work a second job for the whole time I was a terp, NOW I finally finished my 3rd 2-year degree and am working on call as an Ultrasound Tech/Sonographer! Good stuff man...I collect Associate's Degrees... ............................................................ ............................................................ ..................................................... I like cute things, hey I'm a girl..
Code by MySpaceDirect.com........................................... ................I VOTE GREEN whenever possible and the Democrats all hate me for it...Oh but! I will vote for Barack Obama if he gets the nomination!................................................. ................................I also have this Czech gypsy blood that requires that I take as many trips as possible each year...it's a curse...too bad I don't have the dollars to go with it... Also, I apparently like to talk about myself, but really, who doesn't?? Ok so I didn't change everything, but, I'm a bit lazy. Ok ta ta.....

You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.
While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
You Belong in Fall
Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times...
You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings
Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you What Season Are You?THINGS THAT ANNOY/CONFUSE ME: Closemindedness (sure hope that's a real word), NASCAR, Sports cars with automatics, Hummers and other gas hogging SUV type vechicles, chronic negativity, homophobes, wastefulness, Clear Channel, Mega corporations, 4 Starbucks (or McDonalds etc) within a mile of each other, drilling for oil in precious wild land, people thinking global warming is just a trend (check the facts man! ie Inconvienent Truth), ice fishing ( I just don't get it!!), Fake people, botox, I better stop or I might start to sound negative!

My Interests

hmmm...random order...traveling, cooking/eating/restauranting/wine/chocolate/good beer(dark),
You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality? reading (fantasy, and whatever else sounds good)(oh and I'm trying to read the top 100 works of fiction by the NY Times...it's slow going), shopping (I have the gene), backpacking/camping, sleeping, watching good movies, finding new fun music (89.3 the current and MPR in general great!), artsy stuff (trying to draw and paint), Amy Brown artbiking, climbing trees, canoing, driving/cars (dream job, the professional driver on a closed course in the car ads)(or those people that get paid to be tourists Lonely Planet and such..man what a job!), my husband (he really is at the top of the list), dogs, good discussions, black cats (I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch!! This isn't my nose it's a false one!),thunderstorms, Duluth, Scotland, Ireland, etc etc...
Your Irish Name Is...
Avril O'Callaghan What's your Irish Name?
You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. What European City Do You Belong In?
You Are 67% Indie
You're a very indie person, and admit it, you look down a little on people who strive to be normal.
You'll indulge in a little mainstream pop culture every now and then. But for you, anything not indie is a guilty pleasure! How Indie Are You?
