I am brainy, untamed, and lovely.
My Self-Summary
I am a native Coloradoan, currently working on my bachelor's in
Virginia. I just left Cleveland, I was staying there over the
summer researching in the
pharmacology department at Case
Western. Now I'm back in the grand state of CO, at least for a
couple more weeks, until I head to VA to start my junior
year.
I enjoy simplicity in all its forms, I am a proponent of living for
today. I would like to find someone with whom I can share my love,
my joy and my life. I am cautious, yet my trust is strong once
gained.
I am an avid blogger/blog reader and I love watching vlogs. I could
seriously entertain myself all day with my computer and the
internet. I am particularly addicted to lesbian bloggers, and that
realm of the blogosphere (for obvious reasons). I think that
Grace the
Spot is an amazing blog and
Autostraddle and
SheWired.com are some of my
favorites. Of course I follow
AfterEllen.com and I also
occasionally love to read
the Advocate. I must not forget
to mention my absolute favorite set of vloggers in the world:
the Beaver
Bunch (you can find them on YouTube), I think that they are a
wonderful asset to the community. I also happen to have a special
place in my heart for
Jess
[cautiousplay].
My favorite quote is
"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us,
with nothing to show for our progress except the memory of the
smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes
watered."
- Guildenstern
"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"
Yes, I am an existentialist.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm studying chemistry undergrad in the hopes of someday getting a
PhD in pharmacology or something relating to drug design.
After I finish my undergrad, I plan to continue directly to grad
school. I am constantly considering places where I would want to
study. I have considered staying in Virginia and going to the
University of Virginia,
but I believe I would also like to explore other parts of the
country. I'm looking at the
University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, but I really think I would like
to explore California. I've heard that the
UC San Francisco has a good
pharmacology program, and we all know the great thing about San
Francisco. ;) You should let me know if you have other good schools
to suggest.
At some point, I would love to live in either France or Canada (I'm
leaning more towards Canada, maybe Montréal or somewhere else in
Québec) and improve my French skills. I would just love to get a
view of the world outside of our little American bubble.
I keep pulling for California to get it's act together and
repeal
Prop. 8 so that I might live there someday and be afforded all
the rights of the average person. Yes, I am very political and
politically active, I like to work for what I believe in.
I have always been somewhat of a country girl, I grew up in a small
town in the foothills of the
Rockies and have since moved to
Lynchburg, VA for school, which could hardly be considered a city.
I would like to live in a city for a while when I get out of
undergrad, just to experience something different. I love to
explore new places and environments. I also enjoy a fresh start,
hence my moving to a new place or state for every additional
schooling opportunity.
I’m really good at
chemistry and school in general.
I also happen to believe that I am a good dancer, and if you would
be interested in testing out my skills, just message me!
The first things people usually notice about me
I would argue that the thing people notice about me is generally my
eyes, which are hazel, and somewhere between green and brown. I've
been told at times that they look yellow, almost golden in the sun
and that they change color based on what I'm wearing.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I absolutely love dark fantasy! Give me
Laurell K Hamilton or Kim
Harrison any day (although I can't understand why Ivy and Rachel
don't just get together, seriously...). I identify with
existentialism and love Sartre and Camus, especially Camus. I'm
also a sucker for anything French.
My favorite movies include, but are not limited to: Underworld,
Imagine Me & You, I Heart Huckabees, V for Vendetta, Matrix,
Atonement, Boys Don't Cry, Dangerous Beauty, Donnie Darko, Gattaca,
Interview with a Vampire and Queen of the Damned.
I really must include my favorite tv shows, even thought it's not a
category, because I absolutely love my shows and they deserve
mention here. They include, but are not limited to:
True Blood, Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles,
The L Word,
Lie to Me, Dollhouse,
Hex, Wildfire, Robin Hood,
4400, The Black Donnellys, Psych, Law & Order SVU, and
Secret Diary of a Call
Girl.
I love most metal, especially European melodic death and northern
European symphonic metal. I'm kind of addicted to pop. I can't get
away from the classic
NSYNC. Plus, I love
Lady Gaga, and always have the desire
to
Just
Dance!
I'm a veg, yes, I know it's cliché, but I do truly believe that
it's better for myself and the world.
The six things I could never do without
Love, family, friends, pets, chemistry, books
I spend a lot of time thinking about
gender, orientation, sex and sexuality
On a typical Friday night I am
At Barnes and Noble, checking out the babes, lol, and car racing to
the sex store... ;) You know what I'm talking about
GreenEyedSwede1!
However, Saturday nights are my night, and if I'm not down at
the Park (you
know, the gay club in Roanoke), then I'm sure to be enjoying a
night out with my friends.
Addendum: Now that I'm in Cleveland, I would like to edit my
typical Friday and Saturday night activities. On Friday night, it
seems that I am generally out clubbing or in drinking, or combining
both. And Saturdays I also appear to be engaged at the club
(
Go Go
Girls Show), gotta love
Bounce. Regardless of where I am, you
will probably find me with
chendrix, and possibly some other cool
REU people.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have a secret (although not incredibly difficult to find) blog
that I try to write in frequently. If you find it, I will be quite
impressed and just may have something special in mind for you. ;P
You should message me if
you think that we would get along.
P.S. I get along with just about everyone. ;)
