I guess for starters, I'm a sometimes quiet person, yet once I feel
I can have a good conversation with someone I tend to talk
incessantly. Though, I DO have things to say. I'm a vegetarian,
have been for a little over two years, but I'm not the
self-righteous, PETA touting kind. I'm somewhat of a nerd, in
various ways. I have 5 tattoos and plan to get plenty more, but I
can't stand "tribals" or other kinds that have no true meaning to
them. I like to cook and try to get better at it each time I cook
something. I enjoy writing stuff, mainly short stories and spoken
word-style poems, which are really small stories in themselves. I
try to go the gym on a regular basis, I'm not a gym rat nor a
health freak, but I just like being in something close to "good"
shape. I don't really do the club thing, it's just not me. Give me
a small quiet bar any day of the week. I love cartoons, nerdy stuff
like the Discovery, National Geographic, History, and Science
channels as well as the
Food Network, and I can never get
enough of Current TV (seriously if you don't know what it is, find
out or go to current.com) The rest of what makes me up, is just
better left to conversation, I'd hate to write a whole book here.
I'm a senior at UTEP, hoping to wind up a teacher. I work part
time, I usually spend spare time being with friends, goofing
around, playing music (sometimes), and watching movies. I work but
it's nothing too serious or time-consuming.
Putting a smile on peoples faces, though I use my oddball sense of
humor to do so. I'm also quite the talker/listener, naming random
facts about musicians/bands, hmm...sleeping, I'm pretty awesome at
that..having those conversations that most people either stay away
from or secretly have alot to say about except they're afraid
(religions, politics, history, and social problems). Karaoke...true
story, I enjoy it and on a good day I'll tear it up. Singing "More
than a feeling" on rockband, recommending bands, and being all
around rad, it's what I'm best at.
I can also say that although I don't eat it, I'm really good
grilling. Oh and making omelets....ok I guess
cooking in general is something I
do pretty well.
My hair....it's kinda long. Oh, and my voice (I've been told)
because I look all....something, yet when I talk it's like my voice
doesn't exactly match my look. I just think it's cuz I don't say
"like" every other word, have an accent, or cuz I use big,
unnecessary words at times....uhh my ever changing facial hair, and
the horrible condition of my shoes
Ok I wasn't going to do this but seeing as how I've got a bit of
time on my hands, I'll make some lists.

carrots, and turnips.
Why don't we ask what I DON'T think about......
for the most part, trying to remember when I work, music, random
odd scenarios, nachos, getting a haircut, and calculating money I
spend instead of just looking at my statements.
It's always a surprise.
wouldn't be very private if I admitted it...BUT I will admit that I
absolutely love the
Wizard of Oz
