I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a bookworm and an academic addict. I completed my Master's in Evolutionary Psychology at FAU in May of 2006. I've just started a Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University in August of 2006, and in a few months time I will be applying to PhD positions nation wide. Yes, I'm nuts, but I enjoy it emensely. Besides, my lack of social time makes me appreciate the time I do have with friends that much more. And it helps to prune out those who don't really understand what my life is really all about. As you see, right now, life is school. It had better be for the amount of debt I'm getting into!!! GRIN I do have other interests besides school. I'm all about trying to stay healthy and never get back to the 200 pounds I used to weigh. I eat as healthy as possible and love to lift weights. I'm also very big on reading - I read a LOT of sci-fi/fantasy, as well as a ton of scientific psychology journals and books. Bit of a nerd, what can I say. Anything else worth knowing, feel free to ask. Ciao

My Interests

Evolutionary Psychology, anything out of the ordinary and unusual, Weight lifting & Fitness, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Anything Pagan & Supernatural, Ancient Time Periods & Civilizations, etc...

I'd like to meet:

FRIENDS! I need more friends! I'd like to meet people who are as open and honest as I try to be. I am into some slightly abnormal shit, so you need to have an OPEN mind, and be a little out there - the friends I do still have are all a little nuts, but I wouldn't change them for the world. Think you'd fit in? Join me

Music:

Hard Rock, Metal, some Punk. PLEASE don't make me listen to Britney FUCKING Spears. I WILL hurt you :)

Movies:

I am about a million years behind on movies. Just ask me if I've seen - well anything, and more than likely I have not. My favorites are very out-dated - I love Fifth Element and Interview with the Vampire. OH and I'm a sucker for cartoons - The Emperor's New Groove and Ice Age rank top with me. Titan AE, and Treasure Planet also. Cartoons Kick Ass :)

Television:

Almost anything on Cartoon Network, TLC, HGTV, Discovery, Bravo and PBS - YES I said PBS, damnit. Oh and can't forget MTV - but the MUSIC, not the shows. I love me some music videos.

Books:

Anything by Laurel Hamilton, Melanie Rawn, Orson Scott Card, Anne McCaffrey, Robert Heinlen, Jean Auel, - Really anything that falls into scf-fi/fantasy. I won't bother listing text books and journals, I know no one cares :)

Heroes:

My mommy? She kicks ass, and puts up with WAY too much shit. She rocks. Most of my friends - I try to keep people around who are inspiring and that contain qualities I hope to find in myself.

My Blog

Control?

So why is it that everytime you think you have things under control, some one in upper management has to have a bright idea and fuck your shit up? I had been having talks with my manager about my leve...

Tell me what you think

So. I've decided to pursue yet another degree. No real surprise there, I suppose. But I think I've decided to go with another Masters degree, instead of moving onto the PhD. WHY would I do something a...
