I am passionate, intelligent, and quirky.
My Self-Summary
I moved to Lexington from the
Pittsburgharea in June. I am going to
UK to get my masters in Library Science. I really don't know much
about Lexington, so I would love to meet someone who could show me
around. I am really new to city life. I went to a smallish, rural
school to get my bachelor's degree and I grew up in the country. I
moved to the city because I wanted a change of pace and more things
to do on the weekend other than just go to a bar, though I am
unopposed to going to a bar.
I am a
Macuser. I love
it and have no intentions of purchasing a pc ever again. I like to
read and play some video games, when I have time.
I have a cat; his name is Timothee. I really like
camping.I went camping a lot as
a child and worked at a few summer camps in my teens and early
twenties.
My undergraduate degree was in
HistoryEducation and
Literature.I really like
history and English but after student teaching, I am not sure how I
feel about actually teaching as a career. I am looking for options
right now. I am hoping I enjoy the library field more. I may just
need a break from education, as I do really like to work with kids
and young adults.
PostSecretis my
favorite part of Sunday morning. I also check Stuff White People
Like pretty often. I saw the
Spice Girlsin concert when I was
eleven; I still own and sometimes wear the t-shirt.
I really dislike the show Family Guy and most shows like it.
I also negatively judge people who don't list any favorite books,
or they list books they read in high school. I love books. I feel I
am allowed to judge on this basis.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm going to grad school at UK. I also work at a library on campus.
I volunteer at the Lexington Humane Society as well. I like it; I
get to play with animals. It's a good way to de-stress.
I’m really good at
building fires, alphabetizing things, cooking, correcting spelling
and grammar
I also know how to used the Library of Congress cataloging system.
If you are in need of a book and they use Library of Congress, or
even Dewey maybe, I can find it for you.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
I'm kind of random.
I also just worry, a lot.
On a typical Friday night I am
I don't really know anyone in town, aside from my room mate.
Whatever I am doing she is probably involved in. We may go out to a
club or see a movie. I have been known to just stay home and
drink...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
When I was six I wanted to be a pony when I grew up. My mother told
me it was possible and I believed her. Also, I am absolutely
terrified of birds.
