About Me

I'm Originally from Belfast, Ireland. My family moved to New York when I was 12. I moved to Seattle to go to U. of Washington when I was 18. At that time my parents moved back to Ireland. I went to graduate school in California (USC) at 21 and now I'm back in New York. I have 2 sisters - Kaitlyn and Anne. I also have 3 brothers - Aedan, Cillian, and Malachai. I'm the eldest of the girls and number 2 of the 6. I have 2 yorkshire terriers (teacup) - Mona and Thadeus. I'm a crazy, sometimes introverted girl who learns new things everyday, whether I like it or not. I'm funny, spontaneous at times, and I enjoy cracking up at inside jokes in front of total strangers even when I'm not around anyone I know (it makes them think I'm crazy). I really enjoy observing the human condition and seeing what makes people do the things they do. I consider myself attractive. I'm quite intelligent, but I slack and procrastinate with the best of them. I'm a good old-fashioned liberal tree-hugger: I don't believe war solves anything, I think a woman has the right to choose, and I absolutely detest the Bush administration. This moron (Bush) is fucking up the country and people are laughing at how dumb he is." I love history, philosophy, music, writing, singing and I love laughing. All in all, I think I'm a likeable girl who has a different shade of personality for almost every occasion. If you'd like to message me, but feel a little reluctant, don't worry about it. The whole reason I got on here was to meet new people. So feel free.a href="

My Interests


Your EQ is 133
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.img src="http://www.modmyprofile.com/worlds/16778284.bmp" alt="You have been marked on my profile map! Click to make your own visitor map." border

Possibly because I'm "alone" in N.Y.

I should be happy. I should be overjoyed. No work for 4 days in a row. But I am not ecstatic. I'm not even remotely amused. I'm quietly slipping into the inexplicable and inevitable depression that ac...

Is a smile still worthwhile?

Losing oneself in emotion is hell. It always ends up biting you in the ass. I realize that starting off with a bang is a cardinal rule of good writing, and on my first blog it seems no less important....
