I am curious, loyal, and adventurous.

My Self-Summary

It is always interesting to try to self summarize yourself in a few words, but basically I am an x-ray tech who recently finished up getting my bachelors in Radiologic Science.

I originally went to school for theater, and was always called on to be the backup - not because I wasn't good on stage, but because I could read someones lines once and instantly know the part I was filling in for. I have played more roles in more plays than most people even knew existed. Since these are usually last minute fill-ins, I have earned more than one person a good review. Once for two different people on the same night...

My friends are very important to me, they are not the family I was born with but the family I chose and a few of them I have known for close to half my life...

What I’m doing with my life

I am learning how to drive - I JUST got my learners permit, and am going to be taking my drivers test later this month.

An update on that: Now I have my drivers license-w00t!! :) Now I am obsessed with the thought of renting a car and driving anywhere and everywhere...

I am trying to figure out what to do next with this life

I’m really good at

Navigating Chicago's public transportation system, my job, being there for my friends, not getting caught sending text messages while at work, and seeing the best in others.

Talking on the phone, seriously I can have a conversation with someone about nothing in particular for hours

I am good at figuring out creative dishes that I can make and actually am able to eat :)

The first things people usually notice about me

Usually they notice my hands because they are very small and my hair because it is so thick.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books- I really dig the Piers Anthony series "Incarnations of Immortality", Most Stephen King novel, anything by Robin Cook.

Movies-I have very eclectic movie tastes. Some of my favorites are Fight Club, The Namesake, Flash Gordon (the 1980 version), Labyrinth, The Man who Fell to Earth, Transformers, The Opposite of Sex, James Bond movies and The Watchmen just to name a few.

Music-I like most genres of music, lean more towards rock and enjoy seeing bands live. Some of my favorite artists are David Bowie, U2, and Depeche Mode

Food- I am a vegetarian, and also allergic to wheat. When I can find things that I can stomach, I prefer to eat Indian, Spanish tapas, sushi, fries and a shake, French, Italian, Mexican, Latin American. Again, pretty eclectic tastes but I am good finding something to eat almost wherever I go.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Lately I've been thinking about traveling. I've been to Ecuador, France, and England. The world is a huge place, and I want to see as much of it as I can.

With this whole having a license thing I wanna drive around and see more of the continental US as well.

Albeit cliche I wanna go on a road trip on Route 66 just because...

Would it be very difficult to learn to ride a motorcycle...

Trying to take over the world...and if we give peas a chance, won't the lima beans feel left out?

On a typical Friday night I am

In the summertime I am outside at a good restaurant. It's also fun to go to the movies, catch a local band, or hit a street festival. Basically as long as the company's good I am up for anything.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

As stated before I can chat away or listen to someone chat away about nothing in particular and stay interested the whole time

I can be a bit compulsive

I am 50% percent Pinky and 50% The Brain, well mebbe more like 60-40 :)
