I guess hello...we meet again. I moved to California from Minnesota. So far, in the land of LA, we have had lots of heat and few seasons--but it is interesting. I am in grad school for Clinical Psychology. Ending my fourth year now and excited to be moving closer to graduation. I love movies, particularly Wit, sappy movies, and anything with Kevin Spacey in it. Dramas and terrible movies are also things I collect (terrible movies like Plan 9 from Outer Space). I adore All about Eve.

I am a fan of Tori Amos--she gets her own line--period.

I love to read. I love series like Harry Potter, Tales of the City, and the Ender's Game series. I just finished the Twilight series and was incredibly surprised. I guess I have worked with teenagers too much as I understood the whole concept of her angst...lol. I try to read books that are interesting, as some text books ARE boring. I also love perusing educational books on random topics. Maps are cool (so is traveling).

I am going to be a Clinical Psychologist. I like to research sexuality, linguistics, DBT, Borderline Personality Disorder, coming out, and the HTP (you can ask if you want). I love to teachhaving TA'd many times and wanting to teach my own class someday.

I am a sucker for food. Again, it gets its own line.

My favorite poem is a Holy Sonnet by John Donne, Death Be Not Proud:

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, 5
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, 10
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

I really do love that one (tear).

I am always interested in meeting new people...so, let's hunker down with some Earl Grey and let's get to know each other.
