I am cute, quirky, and book-smart.
My Self-Summary
I'm a typical down-to-earth girl from a semi-small town in Florida;
there was never a whole lot to do back home so I'm usually pretty
content to stay at home or go to a friend's house to chill, watch
tv or a movie, or play some guitar hero/Rock Band! I've got the
whole set, and have been known to rock the guitar AND sing when
bored. :)
I also enjoy going out, but generally speaking in more relaxed type
settings, like going to a bar with a live band or just drinking
some beers with the work buddies wherever they happen to decide to
go. I'm more or less over the club scene, though you might see me
there with a giant group of friends, celebrating a birthday...to
the extreme. :) I'm still new enough to what Tampa has to offer and
am curious to find some more interesting chill things to do.
Also, please feel free to take my MatchMe test! :)

What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently going back to school to become an interpreter for the
Deaf. I already have my bachelor's from USF where I majored in
psychology, which has worked out really well in the job market, as
is sarcastically obvious in the following sentence. I work at a
retail store to pay the bills, where I've already been waaay too
long.... and with the economy the way it is, I guess I'm stuck
until I finish school. :P I've also flirted with the idea of
eventually becoming a counselor for Deaf clients, but we'll see
where life takes me at this point. :)
Other than that? I think I'm just enjoying the journey that is
Life. :)
I’m really good at
School. lol I've always excelled at school without trying too hard.
And in general, I can excel at most things I try just because I
have the kind of stick-to-itiveness that seems to be increasingly
hard to find these days. I wish I was better at some things, like
playing music or singing... And someday when I have some time to
devote to lessons I'll probably attempt to become "really good" at
that too!
The first things people usually notice about me
I think people usually first notice my smile, since I have the
tendency to do that often. :) (If the incessant text smilies and
"lol"s weren't a give away lol). If we're talking about
personality, it's probably my tendency to be very welcome and
accepting of everyone. I've also heard I'm charismatic? lol
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Let's see... I love 300, Transformers, The Notebook, Moulin Rouge,
Knocked Up, Fight Club. Those are some top favorite movies. I read
this mini series by Garth Nix: "Sabriel", "Lirael" and "Abhorsen".
It's a fantasy type novel that had an interesting take about old
world magic and present day technology. In general, I like Koontz
and King and I'll read pretty much anything that someone can
suggest to me. My newest favorite!! Orson Scott Card! I just read
the Ender and Bean series(es) and there were both AMAZING. Since
then I keep trying to find other books of his. I enjoyed Invasive
Procedures... You should check it out. :)
And if anyone has any suggestions, I would absolutely love to hear
them!
My favorite band is Angels & Airwaves, for now anyway. lol I go
through cycles often, so we'll have to see what catches my interest
next. I also really like John Mayer, Maroon 5, Fall Out Boy,
Backstreet Boys (Yes, I can admit it. :)), Soundtracks
(Transformers is a GREAT soundtrack; Pirates of the Caribbean is
pretty good too. Oh! And the Lord of the Rings soundtracks are good
too.)Hoobastank, Green Day, Jason Mraz, Michael Buble, Linkin Park,
Panic! At the Disco, Death Cab for Cutie, Dashboard Confessional...
The list could go on forever.
Food types would be italian and mexican. Honestly though? My
favorite thing is just a home cooked meal, no matter what it is. So
long as it's edible. lol
The six things I could never do without
I couldn't do without my friends, my family, music, my cell phone,
my computer and books. This is of course excluding the shelter,
food & water necessities. lol
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I think a lot about life in general. What it's about, why we're
here and why does it seem to take sooo long to learn things while
you're learning them?
Otherwise I seem to be spending an increasing amount of time
thinking about sign language. I walk around and hear someone say
some kind of idiom and wonder how I could sign it. I have no qualms
about walking around work and signing to myself. :)
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably at home hanging out with my roommates, or taking a nap.
lol I work Mon-Fri super early in the morning (and I'm naturally a
night owl), so by Friday I'm tired from not getting enough sleep.
lol Other times, I'll be calling people up to see if they want to
hang out somewhere or even at my house.
Or lately, I've been spending a lot of my free time trying to
attend deaf events to hone my skillz. lol
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Y'know, I'm pretty open on an individual basis, but not so much on
a billboard basis. lol
You should message me if
You like what you've read so far! :) If you read something that
made you smirk, even just mentally, that's a good indication that
you should get ahold of me! :)
