I consider myself a modern nomad: twenty moves and five states [but
forever a Californian]. At seventeen, I attended the University of
Nebraska - pre-architecture until I failed calculus [technically I
withdrew] and switched to a BA in English with an emphasis in
Creative Writing.
During my stint of mid-west living, I played four years of
lacrosse, coached several seasons of youth lacrosse, and lost my
virginity. You always lose something when you move.
At twenty-one, I headed to graduate school. Got my MFA in Creative
Writing from Florida State circa May 2009. And now I'm back in
California undergoing a series of medical exams, dental
appointments, and paperwork to hopefully ensure a future via the
Peace Corps. When left with closed doors the only option is to
revise, revise, revise and possibly later revisit [aka I plan to
eventually get my PhD unless something utterly amazing snags me
along the way - record deals, lottery winnings, last survivor of
nuclear fall out].
The only bone I've broken - my nose - I've managed to break twice.
I prefer Red Vines to Twizzlers. I miss cuddling during
thunderstorms but have subdued this feeling by becoming the proud
mother hen of a blue heeler named Coltrane, who remains the biggest
cuddleslut I've ever met.
I consider myself a Jane of all trades. I've always been
athletically inclined, yet a klutz. I've played violin, piano, and
currently play guitar and tend to call myself a singer/songwriter
[if you really want to hear my music - I'll send you a link to my
myspace].
I'm stubborn and tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm
willing to try most things once be it water-skiing, painting, or
ventriloquism. Oh, and rumor has it I'm kind of a
pessimistic/cynical/adorable person if you stick around long
enough.
I am quirky, eccentric, and creative
