I am really good at understanding people early on in meeting them. I have fun getting to know people on a level deeper than you would typically find. I learn a person’s way, and then I figure out how to make the most of it.

Very few things bother me. It takes a lot to upset me because most things amuse me. I take life seriously, but I don’t dramatize things. Instead, I see the humor in them.

What you've just read was written by my friend and co-worker.

I appreciate patience, compassion, confidence, quirkiness, a love for animals, a fondness for the absurd, an open mind, humility, a quick wit, a sense of humor similar to my own, and a pretty face....and I like to think that all of these qualities apply to me as well.

Anxiously awaiting the start of vet school. Thankfully I am able to stay local and go to Penn. I work as a veterinary nurse at a large shelter. Otherwise, doing my best to appreciate all the goodness and beauty in the world and hopefully playing a small in mitigating all of its ugliness.

paying attention to what you're saying, understanding where you're coming from, making you feel good or at least better, perceiving the world clearly and accurately (just kidding, that's a ridiculous thing to say) crossword puzzles, sleeping, handling dogs, being honest, my job, trivia games

I dunno, different people notice different things.

The Red Tent, Flesh and Blood, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Flowers in the Attic, Goonies, Being John Malkovich, Royal Tenenbaums, House of Yes, Transamerica, American Beauty, Requiem for a Dream, David Bowie, Aimee Mann, MGMT, Foster the People, Velvet Underground, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Wilco, Beatles, The XX. This is just a random picking of lots and lots. I think you get the idea though.

My future, how much I love my dog, how I am ever going to pay for vet school, how I don't know what I'll do if Obama loses the election (although the truth is I'll probably do nothing). God, I hate Republicans.

Recovering from a hard day's work.

When I was about 3-4 years old, I desperately wanted to be a dog...I wouldn't respond to any name but Spike.
