I am 24, a college graduate with my Bachelor's in English. I am just starting my first term of graduate school in Library and Information Science. Can't WAIT to be a librarian!! =]

I LOVE to read. I spend a lot of my time reading new things. I fully believe in life long learning, and strive to learn something new everyday.

I can be incredibly stubborn, but I've found that this lessens with age =]

I like lemonade in the winter and hot chocolate in the summer :o)

I'm an Oregonian born and raised, and I've grown to love this state more and more every year. I was raised camping every weekend during the summer and hiking with my dad, so the outdoors are a big part of my life =]

And I love to travel, alot. I've been to Italy, England, Germany, France and Portugal.

Oh and also, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan, so if you're rooting for the yankees you should probably pass me by... =] It would never work haha

Work, school, gym, spending time with friends. That is pretty much my life right now.

I work as a CNA at a care facility in Northeast Portland. While I kind of hate the work I do, I do love the people I've met there. Working with and meeting people of the older generations has enriched my life in ways I never imagined. I am mostly sick of the politics of my job, but looking back I would not change a thing. This job has made me a better person.

I'm pretty good at being nice. And thinking before I say things =] With the risk of sounding full of myself, I pride myself in being a good friend. I have many good, close friends and I can honestly say I would do anything for them.

I also am pretty witty and funny. I pride myself on being able to make people comfortable with my humor =]

I'm also pretty good at correcting bad grammar. Yeah, I'm kind of a nerd about that.

I'm also awesome at guitar hero. I could probably kick your ass ;o)

I'm pretty easy going and not a fan of conflict or drama. I like to make people laugh and be comfortable.

Oh and I have awesome nerd/emo glasses =]

Books: On the Road (probably my favorite book ever), The Catcher in the Rye (second fav), The Year of Magical Thinking, Twilight series (okay so these are the only lame, teenage girlish books I like haha), A Wolf at the Table, Dry, I'm Not Scared, The Curious Incident of the Dog and the Nighttime, Middlesex, I Know This Much is True, and five million more :o)

the future mostly. I often think about the dreams and career I want to achieve.

Yes....I'll admit it....I smoke. But please don't let it be a deal breaker! If I met an awesome guy who absolutely hated it, I would quit right then and there. My relationships are more important than the cigs =]
