About Me

I work, I come home. I play with my cat and bake cookies with my friends. I spend an indecent amount of time in National Parks, especially Sequoia. I want to learn Spanish and I speak large amounts of grammatically incorrect French. I like people who make me laugh and I love people who make me laugh at myself. I read a lot, but not as much as I'd like. I draw a lot, but not as well as I'd like. And I need a new orange peeler. Like, a good one. With a GPS so it doesn't get lost. UPDATE: I got a new orange peeler for Christmas! It's just as amazing as my last one! Thank you Erin! :D

My Interests

I LOVE skiing! And reading, writing (although I should do more of that...), biking, swimming, drawing. But mostly drawing.

I'd like to meet:

Santa Claus and Oprah. At the same time. They could duke it out with each other to see who's more "giving." I'll bring the popcorn and sell tickets on the side.

Movies:

Juno, The Darjeeling Limited, Ratatouille, Pride and Prejudice, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Iron Giant, Lemony Snicket, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Lilo and Stitch, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, About Shmidt, I Heart Huckabees, Paradise Now, Holes, Mulan

Television:

I don't watch too much TV, but I love Scrubs, Loony Tunes, and The Simpsons. Cartoons rock, especially the old ones. You people remember Duck Tales? Dark Wing Duck? (What's with all the shows about ducks?) But there was also Batman and Robin, Animaniacs...ahh. The good stuff :)

Books:

The Agony and the Esctacy, Series of Unfortunate Events, The Red Tent, Illusion of Life, Harry Potter, Catcher in the Rye, Me Talk Pretty One Day (and any David Sedaris book), Song of Solomon, Slaughterhouse Five, Once and Future King, Pride and Prejudice (and anything Jane Austen), The Doubtful Guest (Edward Gorey)

My Blog

outward bound...in five weeks

I got my passport in the mail today! It's a bit bizarre though, because it doesn't expire until 2016. That's a hell of a long way away! But what's even stranger is that I'm leaving for my Europe trip ...

Death of a Bumblebee

I watched a bee die today and it was really sureal. I noticed it because it was on my shirt and I flicked it off, expecting it to fly away, but it just fell to the ground. I'd seen bees craw...

New mobility of the vehicular kind

I finally got a car! As in, I bought one, got the licence plates, and put the little sticker things on them. I also managed to cut myself with the screwdriver while putting the plates on (damn flathea...
