I just spent another amazing summer working as a camp counselor for children with emotional and behavioral difficulties and special needs! :)

Graduated in May from Columbia College, SC with a B.S. degree in Psychology!

I'm a pretty fun person to be around. I love to make others laugh and I'm usually being goofy or cutting up in some way shape or form. I try to keep myself out of trouble the best I can, but alot of my friends just won't let me.
I'm pretty social and I love being around other people, although I know enough to take some time out for myself. I'm ok with going out, or staying in. (Pretty balanced in that way.)
I know when I should be serious, and I take education that way. I kept myself busy in college by being involved on campus. I did student body government all four years of college and had the privaledge of working with some amazing women leaders. I dig that kind of stuff.

I'm currently in a masters program for general psychology and will be starting a job at a behavioral treatment center for children in december.

making others feel comfortable. Being silly. listening.
I love to sing and just do random-off-the-wall-things with friends. I'm really good with children too. I always was terrified of the thought of working with children-- they seem so tough and fragile at the same time-- but I recently discovered that I have a knack for it. I'm willing to act completely silly and off the wall for a child's benefit. I get them. Maybe it's because I still remember what it's like to be a kid... at least the hard parts. But, I like them. I love knowing that what I'm doing is really doing something to help out someone else. You can see progress in a child, and you know that you really are making an impression. You don't always get that with adults-- they are so guarded and already have too many layers.

I have realllllllllllllllllllly curly hair, but I normally always wear it up because it's a pain in the rear to deal with. :)
They usually notice that I snort when I laugh (most of the time), or that my eyes change colors...

As far as books go, I like SO many different genres and authors. Among the many: I love Hugh Prather "I Touch the Earth, The Earth Touches Me", Anne Rice novels (and those under her pseudoname), Viktor Frankl "A Man's Search for Meaning", Twilight novels, Narnia Chronicles, Harry Potter (A girl needs some mind-numbing stuff too!), Alburt Camus "The Stranger", Herman Hesse "Demian" and "Siddhartha" (MY FAVES).

Movies: Anything horror or comedy. I also love Shirley Temple movies (left over from my childhood), lil orphan Annie (not the disney version either!), Chicago, Se7en, Donnie darko (among my faves), Remember the Titans, Glory Road, The Strangers, Saw, Moulin Rouge, etc

Food: Italian, Chinese, Persian. All-American stuff (hot dogs, burgers). Really I just like what I like. Except I'm lactose Intolerant which really dampers things :(

Music: pretty eclectic. I like alot. Country isn't my favorite, although I LOVE JOSH TURNER-- for no real reason actually.
I love John legend, jimi hendrix, frank sinatra, ella fitzgerald, Billie holliday, lena horne, etc

random stuff. I think about things that other people normally don't think about on a daily basis.

And... then there are times when I think nothing at all, I like to relax and veg out when I'm not doing the whole school thing-- mostly because if I start thinking about something my mind tends to wander and then I'm trying to cure cancer or solve the whole "world peace" problem...

I am normally with friends... reading, relaxing... I would say doing homework or avoiding homework....

I probably will be at a basketball game of my nephews.

eh, I don't really have many private things at this point in my life.. I'm too old for any of my secrets to matter, and too young to have any secrets that do.

I'll be your best friend if you buy me any sets of the followings : Anne Rice novels, Any Season of HOUSE, BONES, ANGEL, or BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

you appreciate a funny, intelligent and fiesty woman. If you are not someone who is dishonest or untrustworthy.
