Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I've been in Corvallis for a year now, I've just been working and going to school most of the time. I'm a pretty nice person, though I can be a bit shy starting out. Anyway, I like outdoor activities; working out is a great way to pass time. I like to test myself. I'm a fan of jogging wherever I feel like going, I ride my bike around, I like skiing and would like to try snowboarding sometime, or just backpacking in the snow. I like water; swimming, scuba diving, or kayaking in it is great fun, I want to learn to surf too. I usually work out in a gym at least a couple times a week, but I prefer exerting myself outdoors. Treadmills are evil. I've also been wanting to explore Alsea falls sometime. And my name is Laurie.

Oh yeah - I have nothing to do with Kansas, that's just my insurance that this one particular crazy person can't stalk me. But that's a different story :)

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with myself for the rest of my life, but I am working on college. I started going to OSU, but wound up taking LBCC classes primarily, and right now I'm going down to Lane one day a week. I keep myself pretty busy between school classes, a job, and volunteering. I'm considering going to paramedic school, but I want to be sure that's what I want to do before I start. Someday I'll get a bachelor's degree, but I want it to be in something I'll use, so I'm not really working avidly on it right now. I'm thinking about being a chiropractor, as it would compliment my other job interests well. Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to continue firefighting as a career or if I should move on to greener pastures. So many decisions, so little time...

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Hmmm... I'm creative, so wherever that comes in handy I usually do pretty well. I like helping people, whether it's at 60mph or just sitting down helping a friend through a rough time. In high school I was something of a science nerd, did a bunch of research projects and traveled around going to science fairs and did pretty well. It was fun, I was in band too, and played bassoon, flute, and trombone. But, all that's behind me now. Now I just listen to music, I don't make any of my own. Although someday I may get back into research of some sort, I kinda miss that.

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

I smile a lot, laugh frequently, and blush easily. Physically, I don't know, you tell me. I like my eyes, personally, and my hair. I'm not narcissistic, but I'm typically content with the mirror.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I haven't read as much fiction as I'd like since I started college, just not enough time in the day. But I really love adventure novels, like Clive Cussler's books. And Lord of the Rings.

Same as books, I like action/adventure movies. Don't make me watch scary ones, they give me nightmares. Hollywood has officially ruined any enjoyment I could possibly have while by myself outside at night. Ahem, I like most of the popular series movies like Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond, Narnia, the Golden Compass, others to the same nature.

I like most rock, alternative rock, occasionally some metal, a little bit of country, whatever random songs I take a liking to.

Food. Food is such a big part of my life. I like cooking, and I like eating what I cook. I like many different kinds of food and I'm trying to outgrow all the food discrimination I had as a child. I like Indian food, curries, sushi, Italian, Mexican, country style American, seafood... I prefer not to eat too many things I find unhealthy, like fast foods and overly preserved or sugary things, but sometimes I will. Bottom line is, I like eating good food.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

What I'm going to do with myself, there's so many options, it's hard to know what I'll be most happy doing and not get worn out with after 5 or 10 years.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Varies. Could be studying, could be bored, could be sleeping, could be unhappily going on a long transport to Portland for the next 5 hours.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You're around Corvallis and want a good friend. I'd really like to just meet some new people. Dating would be nice, too, but I think it's best when you're talking to someone not to have expectations that you will date. If you send me a message, I will respond back, even if it's to say I'm not interested. I hope for the same in return, it's really a courtesy thing.
