*aaaaand she's back :)

i just moved to California from Atlanta to go to school-- packed up my tiny car with everything i own and two friends and did the drive in fourish days. i have a BA in political science and international studies. my mom was born in the philippines, my dad indiana.

here, have some random descriptors:
i like to sing along to songs even when i do not know the lyrics, and i usually do not know the lyrics. i talk to myself. i like to make up new words and speak in accents. i like to do crafts and decorate. i love reading and watching movies and television and listening to music and a whole load of other things that keep me from working. i have apparently decided to nix commas and capitalization here.

i will always prefer y'all over other third person plural options. my spirit animal is a cat. i can solve a rubiks cube.

would that i knew. I'm in law school, so that. that being "maybe IP, maybe employment and labor law, maybe, maybe, maybe" and hopefully something public interest oriented, if only on the side.

Working at a nonprofit in Berkeley this summer. Helping people get their lives on track--should be fun.

in addition to that whole becoming a lawyer thing i'm just enjoying berkeley, missing atlanta, and loving life :)

not: talking about myself like this, filling out online profiles, social media in general.

am good at: lists, avoiding questions... ha, jokes. sorry. Hm.. I recently made a snow princess. Also, I can knit and sew. I can calculate tips in my head fairly quickly.

i don't like these things.

im not sure.

i love british things in an absolutely cliche way. so, pride and prejudice, great expectations, the beatles, mumford, downton abbey, v for vendetta etc. always had a leg up in my book. ooh also bbc's poirot and coupling. finally watched sherlock and started watching the doctor.. have made my point. still quite the cliche.

i listen to and enjoy all types of music, but i usually resort to pandora. i like indie dance, mumford, flo, and sometimes the singer/songwriter stations there.
Current favorite songs, now on repeat: little talks, ho hey, breezeblocks, this head I hold, winter winds, the first single, stubborn love.

i have a thing for detectives. my favorites are sherlock, hercule poirot, and nick and nora charles. i'll settle for today's whodunits. i do catch castle, law and order, and criminal minds if i ever channel surf.

shows i watchish now: once upon a time, new girl, south park, modern family, grey's anatomy, glee - go ahead judge away.
former loves: avatar, friends, boy meets world, house, psych, community, big bang theory, hey arnold, jimmy neutron, downton abbey.

some of my other favorite books: ender's game, the book thief, the giver, kite runner, huck finn, diary, catcher in the rye, the help, davinci code, crime and punishment, memoirs of a geisha, one hundred years of solitude... the list goes on. i like the hunger games and harry potter in a guilty-pleasure/scratch-that-nostalgia-itch sort of way. before school started i was reading a song of ice and fire. i'll pick it back up one day i hope. in the meantime, game of thrones is really well done.

movies: shawshank redemption, gone with the wind, good will hunting, pretty woman, breakfast club, breakfast at tiffany's, overboard, pay it forward, the prestige, le matrix, donnie darko, mean girls, how to train your dragon, kickass, easy a, the englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain, ever after, and almost every movie i watched as a kid.

i love chocolate and cheese and carbs and milk.

there's plenty more i'm sure.

1. friends and family
2. laughter
3. sunny days
4. chocolate
5. books
6. covers when i sleep

the matrix, which is probably just a glitch. god i'm sorry.
plans- for the day, weekend, or life. i like to make to do lists and bucket lists.
what other people are thinking about.
the origin of my train of thought.

with friends out doing the bar thing or in watching movies and having pillow fights and such.

i've spent more time answering these questions than my answers would suggest or i would like to admit.

i read and enjoyed fifty shades of grey. i have the mylittlepony iPhone game.. no shame.

that would suit your fancy :)
