i'm hard working, i think anything good in this life comes through hard work. to balance that out, though, i love biking and being outside in general. it doesn't take much for me to have a good time. i enjoy other people's company more than the activity.
and here's a list of some other facts about me:
-i play guitar
-i'm originally from charleston, sc- where i lived until i was 11. that's where all of my family is from too. i visit about once a year...
-i lived in israel from '03-'05- i visit israel about once/yr as well.
-i love the smell of honeysuckles
-i love my family... i'm very close to my parents and my sister and i would do anything for them. i'm very protective.
-i have 2 beautiful nieces (as you can see, sorta, from the picture)
-i want a family of my own some day. and if i don't find the person i choose to spend my life with by the time i'm 30... depending on where i'm at with school (i do plan on getting my masters), then i'm going to have a baby on my own.
-touch is so important to me, i can't be with someone who doesn't like to cuddle and be close.
-sarah silverman cracks me up.
-it takes me a little while to warm up to people, and trust people, but it's worth it in the end, because once you have my love, you'll always have it.
-routine is very important to me, i need routine to survive... but as much as i need routine and schedules... i also need breaks and vacations...

I graduate nursing school dec. '09. I'm also a volunteer EMT at my local rescue squad and i work in the nursing skills lab at school.

being there for my friends; staying organized; i don't know, this is a hard question... i think i'm good at anything i put my mind to.. i guess other specifics can include:
school and work
listening- people open up to me quite a bit and they say i'm easy to talk to... probably because i know how to shut up and listen because i care.
being sarcastic and a smart ass
making a bed really comfy
saying things in very few words.
teaching students in the lab and making sure they walk away understanding what i've taught.
being proactive in certain situations when really all i'm feeling is a crap load of anxiety that makes me want to run away and curl into a ball... this is something i'm becoming really good at.

My friend just told me that that when she first met me, i struck her as someone who saw through other people.
i recently wondered what people notice about me when they see me... whether it's my smile... my eyes... my very short hair, my body... but then i realized that pretty much everyone looks past a lot of these physical aspects because i think i'm a very kind person and it's evident almost immediately.

i just don't know how to answer this question... probably family, music, friends, a job, a means for transportation- bike or car, and food. pretty much things that are low on maslow's hierarchy of needs...

time and reality. and making right choices. also my career and my future in it. i think a lot... about a lot of things... and i think i think too much actually.

at a friend's with good wine and good conversation.

hmm... i'm scared. i don't have specific phobias. just scared... of life. and i think this is a feeling that a lot of people share.
