I'm going home and claiming what I want to be

About Me

new friend, andrea. andrea, new friend. nice to meet you. ^^
so much in life is precious, so soak it all in. your true friends will stick by you though everything. i love my family, even though they tend to drive me crazy at times. my friends, all of them, rock my socks off! Especially my best friends!! they are the most awesome people around! many of you already know that because, its you!! I play softball on Sunday nights. I'm really improving, and, you know, i'm just the best. hahaha. jk. i love to read, its enlightening. i love to just relax and enjoy life. i hope to be graduating from ASU here fairly soon, within the next year, and going on to do bigger and better things with my life.
As many of you know, I was studying to be a forensic scientist, but my course has changed. People joke that i'm great to argue with.They say I should be a lawyer. So--- law school it is! I've been busy researching, and preparing and saving for school. I'm really excited, and have no idea where I'm going to end up, for the first time in my whole life. :)
Some really awesome opportunites -- several concerts with my friends (go Click 60!), trip to San Francisco/Napa Valley, Writing Mentorship Program in SJSI, invitation to Sigma Alpha Lambda (honor fraternity), and some really amazing new/old friendships!
one thing that brings me great joy in life is to help people, and bring happiness to them. this is a skill i'm still improving on, but i feel that if i can make one person happy, what a world of opportunity lay before me! i love Disneyland and it is for sure, the happiest place on earth! Vegas is always a blast, I guess I just like to travel!
My biggest accomplishment in life is having learned to smile.

My Interests

"Quotes" "Come on, everyone has an inner most secret. - I'm a republican"

"oh, and Justice Scalia is an idiot. - why don't we just execute him? oh, thats right. we're voting NOT to execute the mentally retarded"

" 'He tells that he doesn't like it when you eat burritos. You order one anyway. Why didn't you order the goddamn taco?! Its pretty much the same thing! 'Um, Andi, what's with you and burritos?' ' I'm not sure. I guess I've used that before! Damn I gotta get some new material!' "

"I love you in a really really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you have the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortuante way that makes me hate you love you. So pick me. Choose me, love me."

"Thats like saying, Let's make a milkshake! Oh, but I have apples. And ice. No blender."

"i believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive"

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"It was so great that I ran into the wall twice. The same wall twice."

"So, you believe that God wants you to be an adulter? God got a virigin pregnant by magic. God is not playing by the rules."

"Never Lie, Steal, Cheat, or Drink. But If you must lie, lay in the arms of the one you love. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must steal, steal out of bad company and if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away"

"The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it."

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat."- Teddy Roosevelt

"I'm too poor to vote Republican"

"God was my co-pilot, but we crashed into a mountain and I was forced to eat him"

"UNIT OF EEEEEVVVVIIIILLL"

"Smashed with a crowbar, shot by a crossbow, poisioned by shrimp and now bitten by a snake?"

"i drive a bus. and apparently i have snoring ducks on my bus."

"--Maybe you just haven't met a man willing to change. --No, no. I looked it up in Wikipedia and its a fictional character."

"You know, 300 years ago, London burned to the ground. And the guy who confessed to it wasn't even in London the night of the fire. But they didn't realize that until 2 days after they hanged him. Sometimes people say things to get noticed because being ignored is worse than being blamed."

"Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin."

"Belts are a great way to express an opinion"

"Oh, none for me thanks. It will go straight to my vagina. Thats what girls worry about right? Having a big vagina?"

"I love you every minute. I love you more than band music and cookie making."
