Well, I'm currently a whopping 24 years old, though I act like I'm about 12 years old. I did finally graduate from the University of Arizona with a major in Operations Management and a minor in Classics. I did also manage to score an Associates in Liberal Arts from Pima Community College, a superior school when compared with the U, in my not-so-humble opinion. Just the basic facts can be found here at my LiveJournal bio page. I spent a lot of time on it, so don't discount it as a valuable reference! Also, I did make a Trading Card, and it's uber-cute, so check that out here.
I was born in Nebraska. This makes me a BIG college football fan. I love the Cornhuskers, even when they don't do well (I do love the BCS) and I think Nebraska is a fantastic state. It seems to me that Nebraska has nicer people, better shopping, and an overall better quality of life. Plenty to do there when you're a kid with a good imagination. :D After 8 years, I moved to...
Seven Lakes, North Carolina! It was the bomb-frickin-diggity. I rode my bike around, had some friends, swam at the pool... it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Back when we lived in it, it was a failed development by some multi-million dollar corp, I'm sure. But it RAWKED, did I mention that yet?? We lived in NC for about 4 years, with about 6 months spend in the hellhole that is... Charlotte! We lived downwind of a sewage treatment plant. Yummm, stinky twice a day! And don't ask what the brown water that flowed through the stream was. It was a nice neighborhood, it just... stunk. Plus I was bussed 40 miles away to school each day because of desegregation. *cue sarcasm* I guess the school dept. decided that those poor black kids needed to experience some white kids or something... *end sarcasm* I'm still bitter about it *to this day*, because the teacher I had hated my guts and humiliated me whenever she got the chance. And spending 80 minutes a day at least on a schoolbus was NOT my idea of fun. But then we moved back to Seven Lakes for a while.
But eventually, my dad got a job out here in Arizona. Woo. The people here immediately taunted and harassed me. Until I demonstrated that my family could afford Guess? and Esprit clothes. Then I was adopted into the trendy club, until I had a falling out with my best friend. Then, merely on the basis of me liking INXS and lying and saying I liked the Cure (hadn't heard any Cure music 'til after that ;) ), I was adopted into the goth outcasts club! Yes, you too can be a 6th grade goth! :P Stephanie was the only one who dressed like a goth tho. :P Junior High came, and 7th grade sucked because I had no friends... but 8th grade rocked because my two best friends and I were in 3 of the top positions in the Library Club! Enjoy the geekiness! We loved it though- we got to hang out in th elibrary and avoid the other nosy, rude jerks out in the cafeteria. :P Ninth grade sucked because I was mainly only friends with Jessica, and then in 10th grade, we moved. To the Foothills. Where the parents of the kids there made millions of dollars a year. I'm NOT kidding. If you hadn't been to school with these kids from the beginning, odds were, you were NEVER going to be accepted. I was spit on, accused of sexually harassing someone who was harassing me (and of course all my evidence was impounded and no action taken against this girl and her boyfriend), and was sexually harassed for about 20 minutes by two girls in a class while the rest of the class and the TEACHER WATCHED. I had some friends in the popular crowd, and the longer I went there, the less people harassed me, but I HATE Catalina Foothills High School. May you ROT in a PIT OF SLIME! But eventually, I graduated, and by default, began going to the University of Arizona. The rest, as they say, is history. :P
If you're interested in knowing about me and what I'm thinking at this exact moment, go to my LiveJournal. LJ rocks! They aren't taking any more new people, I think, but you can always spend $5 and get a paid account for 2 months. It's a good thing to do to try out the full functionality of the site. Enough pimping for now, eh? :P
