Bio:Time for a new bio... hmmm... let's see... ahhh... yeah... um... Oh!



  • I speak Linguist-ese when I'm drunk.


  • I take care of *everybody*.


  • The Vampire Chronicles, by Anne Rice, are my favorite books.


  • I'm failing out of school...


  • I used to be very good at school.

    (That's an understatement, actually....)


  • Actually... I am now temporarily dropped-out of school...


  • I'm a walking contradiction.


    1. I always lie.
    2. The previous statement is true.
    3. ?


    • I had an LD bf for nearly two years.


    • He fucked up.


  • I'm class II Bipolar.


  • If its impossible, I want to do it.


  • I'm more loyal than Fido--be glad if you're a friend, afraid if you fuck one of my friends over.


  • I'm ADHD. (I don't fidget so much, anymore, though, I just don't sleep very regularly.)


  • Words are awesome--I use them a lot, sometimes too much.


  • I know all-too-well what "F.U.B.A.R." means.


    1. Live Fast
    2. Die Young
    3. Leave A Good-Looking Corpse


  • I'm not going to be around too long, comparatively.


  • I am now comfortable enough w/myself to cry at sappy movies.


  • Christmas: Bah humbug!


  • Organized religion vexes me.


  • I vex me.

  • I was once a girlscout.


  • I was once a cowgirl.


  • I can start a campfire in the open in wind and rain.


  • I fucked my knees up when I was nine and ten years old running (and winning) marathons and competing in track&field events.


  • I used to fence, and to fence again is the only reason I consider pursuing a solution to my knees.


  • When I was younger, I did karate, gymnastics, tap, jazz, ballet...


  • I am a monster.


  • I want to get an M.D.Ph.D. in Neuroscience.


  • I want to attend a masters program of study in Linguistics (maybe even go for doctorate).


  • I've taught at every level of education. No, really.

  • Ignorance is not an option.


  • I don't watch TV, anymore--but, when I did, I loved 3rd Rock From The Sun.


  • I love movies.


  • I read Catcher In The Rye and hated it.


  • Vampires are the coolest--I've written at least ten papers on their various aspects--and gotten As on all of them.


  • My mother and I have a turbulent relationship.


  • My father was not a good man--in the third grade, I would tell ppl he died when his car ran into a phone pole because I was sick of explaining everything.


  • I rewrote Christmas carols about how much I hated him.


  • I'm over that, now.


  • I had a brother, Kristopher, who was kidnapped from the schoolyard. I was there and tried to get him back, but I was too little to stop it.


  • My brother taught me how to ride a bike.


  • I have a little sister, Amanda, who is gorgeous, smart, and has always known what she wanted to do w/her life.


  • I have always wanted to do everything.


  • I was a fiercely independant daddy's girl--I still am.


  • In HS, I counselled upperclassmen in what they wanted to do after graduation--if they chose it, I would help get them into their schools of choice and help them get the funds they needed.


  • I have waited in food lines on an empty stomach in the cold.


  • I have dined more richly than royalty.


  • I found 1984 to be hopeful--heh, it could just be propoganda, y'know...


  • My mother is dying.


  • I want to go install the Internet in Afghanistan and Nigeria.


  • I used to want to be the first woman President; but then I realized there are more powerful positions--like schoolmasters; then I wanted (and still want) to build a school for kids like me.


  • I have been awarded a BA in Elementary Education. Now all I have to do is pay for it...


  • My middle name is fourth generation; I am decended from a lot of really cool ppl (Robert The Bruce's wife, M.Frases (guy who invented Strawberry Short Cake), my mother).


  • I am the sum of eternity before me; the culmination of infinite moments.


  • So are you.


  • My tongue is pierced.


  • For my seventh birthday, as a family-tradition rite of passage, my ears were pierced.


  • I winced when the piercing gun fired on the last ear and the hole was crooked until I was sixteen.

  • At every summer camp I have ever attended, I have been the best marksman in rifle and bow.


  • My vision is superior to the norm.


  • I was partially deafened by severe ear infections my Sophomore year of uni.


  • I have always wanted to be taught how to read music and play the violin and piano.


  • My sister got violin lessons, I've been jealous ever since.


  • I've read feminist authors... and liked it.


  • I was in "HS" for a year and a half. Half of Freshman year I went to a Jr.HS in another state. I skipped my Junior year. I spent my Senior year at college.


  • My mother would never let me skip grades--she said it was important for me to "be with my peers," even though my peers were always at least two years older than me.


  • My counselors wanted me to test out of school when I was fifteen--I stayed so I would be old enough to get into the uni I'm at, now, the only uni I applied to.


  • I've won lots of awards for academics and sports.


  • I've destroyed all of them.


  • I have studied, to varying degrees of mastery, more than a dozen languages.


  • Incubus is fucking awesome.


  • Music is fucking awesome.


  • Life is worthless and it annoys me when ppl pretend it is worth everything in the universe; what is of value is what you do with your life--life is a converstion factor.


  • Anything is possible.


  • I believe that ppl are generally good, but no one is entirely altruistic--it all comes down to the individual. (I know that's an American/Western perspective; Oriental philosophies generaly focus on the group.)


  • Anne Frank was selfish and naive--spoiled, even.


  • I want to see The World and The Seven Seas.


  • I used to do theatre--makeup and set design.


  • I have been a politician.


  • I have enacted change and made "the masses" that I served more participatory (voter turnout of the sector I was active in more than tripled during my term). My office (although I forget my title) served as a liason btwn students and administration at my college.


  • I'm studying to convert to Orthodox Judaism.


  • I used to donate blood components three times a week until I got the Hepatitis A vaccine (that I had previously been told I could still donate w/) and was forever after ineligible.


  • Computers are very cool and the Internet makes me drool.


  • Purple is my favorite color.


  • I remember when the [Berlin] Wall fell. It was one of the best days of my young life.


  • My hair has been purple, on purpose.


  • There have been times, that I have known more about a subject than my instructors to such a degree that they have asked me to give the lecture.


  • I can understand anything.


  • I once had a seizure because my blood-sugar was so low.


  • I'm joining the Peace Corps.


  • I have suffered nearly constant headaches since I was eight years old; even after inked MRI, there has been no determined cause other than "stress."


  • I'm not that stressed of a person--even though I've always had a lot of stressors.


  • I disowned my grandparents, but now maintain a correspondence with them.


  • I have lived in seven metropoli--but never lived outside the United States.


  • I prefer international notation, but use American notation for some things because Americans wouldn't understand them, otherwise--and I do live in America.


  • I think ppl who live in America should be able and willing to conduct business/government/education in English, and that English should be the only official language.


  • I think everyone should be conversational in at least two languages.


  • Learning never ends.


  • Death is just the beginning.


  • One day, I was in the college cafeteria after some classes (during a semeter that I was taking three foreign languages and two English courses) talking with some friends and the girl in front of me turned around and asked what country I was from because I had the most interesting accent. I was thoroughly entertained!


  • I remember a breeze that carried on it the most fascinatingly lonely and inspiring sensation.


  • Life is difficult and demanding (at least life well-lived), if ppl decide they're really not up for it, they go w/my every sympathy, and the emphatic hope that next time will be better for them.**


  • I missed my pets more than my family when I left for uni.


  • I want a tattoo of a supernova (w/a Star of David as the Main Star) in purple and gold on my back btw my shoulderblades.


  • I want to donate all my oragans.


  • If it were permissable by Jewish Halakha, I would be cremated....




You'll just have to read my journal for more. ;-)
