CURRENT MISSION

Finish Water for Elephants (again)

ABOUT ME

I work at a movie theater and it's taught me how to smile, smile, smile, speak clearly ("Any concessions for you today?"), and be nice, even to the people that order a hundred things for each member of their family, or criticize the amount of butter on their popcorn. I'm nerdy but I'm not one of /those/ girls, "I'm so nerdy! :3 I like Mario and Pikachu! LOL, nerd 4 life!!" I like Science Fiction (all media), and at this point of writing this I'm starting to feel like I'm using parenthesis a little too often. I like video games but never have time to play anymore, and I listen to the same music I listened to middle school, with the addition of musical soundtracks, and songs from so-indie-you've-never-heard-of-them-seriously-ever bands that my great friend emails to me. :) I dress like a weirdo, and the best compliment I've ever recieved was when a little boy told me I "talk like I watch Chowder." Heck yes.

Interests

I love sketching, napping, and eating. :] I like chill time and am very good at spending extended periods of time doing nothing. I can easily lose myself in a book but films have a hard time keeping my attention. I love hearing other people's stories, and seeing both sides of an argument. I think standardized tests are fun and in my next life I desperately want to be a cat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After fifth grade I went on an adventure to the UK with an organization called People to People. Being on a whole new continent with thirty other fifth and sixth graders was exhilarating!
And I know this isn't really cultured or super special but spending a few days in Disney World was so amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can knit, make bracelets, know proper text etiquette and semicolon rules, how to calculate the gravitational pull between any two objects, and I'm pretty great at identifying junk mail. I can teach you how not to make a straight line, as well as how to make an educated guess.
