Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I AM GEEK!! HEAR ME ROAR!!

I am a liberal - This Should Be Known! I am imperfect.

I am a recent college graduate. I want to teach. Its all I've ever wanted to do. I am a mountain girl and always will be. I love horses and camping and fishing and don't get out to do any of that as often as I would like. I'm an avid reader and often reread books over and over and over again; if a book is really good you can find new things in it no matter how many times you read it.

Additionally I have a fetish for good music. This includes country music. I like country music a great deal; I also like opera, musicals, reggeton, some R&B, some classical, oldies - pretty much everything. I tend to be honestly put off by specific songs rather than entire genres. I think people disregard all of one kind of music out of hand because they: 1. don't want to be associated with the stigma or 2. had a bad experience with ONE song. There is a whole world of music out there just waiting to be listened to.

I also have this nasty habit of cutting my hair. I get a hair cut, get myself all psyched to grow it out again and then, 9 or 10 months later I get bored of it and chop it all off.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I was just accepted into a Masters program so now I'm working on getting my teaching license to complement my BA. Tried to get a job teaching without it but I couldn't get any takers. My license will be in elementary ed if you know anyone who is looking for a teacher. Still very green and eons more school to go.

I work as a student worker which mostly entails folding, proofing and filing. Its thrilling rest assured.

Other than school and work I spend virtually every free minute either on the phone with my little sister (who is a freshman living in a dorm near-ish to us) or with my niece (who is technically the daughter of a friend, not a sister.)

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Writing, conversation, I think I'm a good friend. I'm a particularly talented cook, not so much a baker. I have had really good luck with coming up with new flavor combinations without any recipes or anything like that. I'd really like to be all "wonder flavor (wo)-man" like Bobby Flay but I'm not quite there yet. I'm also really gifted at destroying technology - seriously - if it plugs in and I touch it...BOOM!

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My rack, my walk, my odd sense of style. I have this thing where I like to take really classic fashion and make it just a little different. I miss gloves, not that I was alive for gloves, but they were so wonderful. Gloves and big brimmed hats. I still wear them when I can do it without looking completely silly. I also have a fetish for renaissance attire and hippie-wear; corsets, bodices, broom stick skirts, bell sleeved fluffy light cotton shirts, layers and layers and layers. Also, my Bronco's sweat shirt is quite the eye catcher but that has more to do with it being bright orange.

I have a great affection for saying things that at first glance make no sense. I am captain non sequitur! For example...

Borrowed from Max - I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. - Nicolas Sparks

These Christian Family groups are so anti-Christian. They're without compassion, charity and kindness. I want Jesus to come back and say, "That's not what I meant."

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Love, My family, my cell phone, my friends, good food, good literature.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Philosophy, Faith, Politics....Lists are not all that interesting. Right now, I'm spending a lot of time thinking about the future. I was planning to get my teaching cert as a post graduate but pretty much everyone (mom, husband...adviser...) seem to think that I should do it as an undergrad. I wanted to do it as a graduate because it makes it take less time to get your Masters. Lets face it, I'm a white woman, I'm not as hire-able as I would like. So what I'm thinking about right now is the big, life, what ifs. And I'm really not sure what to do.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Doing homework. However, on an ideal Friday night I'd go out to dinner with some friends and then either a movie or a trip to the theater. I am a Shakespeare junky and I'd see practically every new movie if I had the time and money.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

If I could wake up tomorrow and be anything else I'd be English. If I couldn't do that then I think I should very much like to wake up Ingrid Bergman. That is, if I could be her without being...ya know...dead. That doesn't sound like that much fun to be perfectly honest.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You're looking for someone to hang out with, get to know, eat really good food, drive aimlessly in circles and into the mountains, wine tasting, camping...I'd really like to spend more time out doors than I do, if only someone would drag me...hint hint hint. I'm not tiny but I'm in pretty good shape and I like the outdoors.
