About Me

I define random. Look up "Europhile" in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of me. I will always be infected with a severe case of wanderlust, and I'm convinced I'm going to change the world one day. Idealistic? Perhaps. It's part of what makes me so charming.Oh, and I'm basically obsessed with Obama.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

As far as the atypical, not everyday type of person goes, it would have to be Mary Magdalene, Jesus, Charles Darwin, Muhammad, Bill Clinton, Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandella...and to indulge my shallow (formerly) blonde side, Ioan Gruffudd, Nicole Kidman and Monica Bellucci.Oh yes, and Barack Obama. Naturally. =)

Remembering what's important

Law school is a bitch, no matter how you look at it.  But recently I was reminded to take time out to smell the proverbial roses occasionally.  Here's the story about that. A little bit of b...

Who cares about the news feed?

Something is very wrong with our country...or at least with the college-age youth.  About a week ago, Facebook did a complete overhaul of the website, and added a new feature called the "news fee...

Fairy tale

This is definitely the fairy tale we should have been told as little girls. I rather like it. =) Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upo...

The mysteries of Paris

Yes Stacy, you're right, my Myspace and Xanga blogs are nearly identical.  I don't have the patience to write two of them. When I first joined Myspace, I got all of these random messages from ran...
