I'm a student at the University of Colorado Boulder studying English and Philosophy, hoping to get my teaching licensure in secondary english education.

I have eclectic tastes in art and pop culture ranging from musicals and poetry to Led Zeppelin and politics.

I love writing, particularly poetry, and reading. I am a pretty independent person, but I always enjoy having a nice conversation with someone over coffee (or actually tea...I don't like coffee), as well as normal activities like watching movies, hiking, partying, etc.

I work as a Lifeguard Instructor at the YMCA and a lifeguard manager for the City of Boulder. I don't make a lot, but I have no other real job skills and I like it well enough.

I am very picky about things in my life (especially food) and boys are no exception, which has led to a lot of frustration for me. I am most attracted to short, pasty-white, skater-type boys with some sense of humor and some ability to be intellectual. A lack of one or more of these qualities is not a deal-breaker for me, but they'll help you out. :)

I'm getting my bachelor's degree and teaching certificate at CU. After that, who knows?

writing (particularly poetry), swimming, arguing without using logical fallacies, origami, other random things I can't think of (I must be good at something, right?)...
