About Me

I am currently sick with the stomach flu, so my swaps may be a day or so late getting out to you all. I'm dealing with school starting and being sick, and it's zapping all of my energy. Thank you for your patience and understanding and I do apologize for the inconvenience. :)

I am a 25-year-old Special Ed. Teacher in Missouri. I love the simple things in life and I'm very easily amused. I watch way too much reality tv and buy way too many cd's, dvd's, and craft supplies. I love writing out to-do lists. I make one every day.

I live in a tri-level townhouse with my fabulous roommate and best friend of eight years. We have two cats that are our little babies. I also have a dog, but he lives with my parents.

My family and friends are the most important people in my life. My brother and sister (21 and 10) are two of my best friends. I could spend all day doing absolutely nothing with the two of them. My brother is in the Marine Corps and currently deployed in Okinawa, Japan. My sister is preparing to enter the fifth grade. She is busy with baton and poms, and we are frequently out of town for her competitions.

I have a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. I love trying new things and I love setting and accomplishing new goals. One of my main goals is to join the Peace Corps. I am hoping this is something I can do in the next few years.

I love photography. I can find beauty in just about anything. I love collecting things. I love organizing everything. I consider myself to be incredibly random, but who isn't? I talk a lot and laugh all the time. I have a slight addiction to buying calendars and Sharpies. I adore Hello Kitty (especially Chococat), Kelly Clarkson, Peter Gallagher, John Mayer, stickers, stationary, office supplies, postcards, patterns (especially polka dots and stripes), different fabrics, candles, Build-a-Bear, books, LUSH bath products, nail polish, and just about anything. I have heard wonderful things about Swap-bot, and I am super excited to get started.

My Career

I have been working with children for six years. I started out working as a preschool teacher and somehow found myself working with children with disabilities. I am currently working at a high school. I am very passionate about my job, and about Autism research. I plan on studying Communication Disorders in graduate school, and would ultimately like to work as a Speech and Language Pathologist.

Creativity

I have an obsession with art. I love getting lost in the SLAM (St. Louis Art Museum). I am obsessed with photography and Kurt Halsey paintings. I love to scrapbook, make cards, and paint pottery. I annoy my friends and family with my incessant picture taking. I love old photographs, and am always on the lookout at garage sales and flea markets. I adore art and photos (or anything) from other countries.

Favorite Music

I basically love all music. I love everything from Flogging Molly to Kelly Clarkson to Ludo (local band) to Miles Davis to Journey. My all-time favorites include Journey, The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Kelly Clarkson, Jem, Jimmy Eat World, Ryan Adams, and Billy Joel. I also LOVE musical theater. I have seen RENT, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, among many others. I am seeing The Lion King next week, and Les Miserables in August.

Favorite Books

I will read anything and everything. I am currently reading "Lucky" by Alice Sebold. I recently finished "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold and "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. My library card is used ten times more than my credit card. I also have library cards from two different counties and the city of St. Louis.

Favorite Movies

"Freedom Writers", "The Family Stone", "Pretty In Pink", "The Secret Garden", "RENT", Any Hitchcock film

Favorite Television

I LOVE reality television. I am currently watching Top Chef and Big Brother. I love Project Runway, Ace of Cakes, and The Amazing Race.

Other favorites are Weeds(!!), Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, Army Wives, and Big Love. I am also a big fan of Gilmore Girls, Everwood, and LOST.

My favorite networks are Showtime, HGTV and Bravo. I could sit and watch HGTV all day. I especially love House Hunters and Designer's Challenge.

Favorite Colors

I love green. My eyes are green. My favorite drinking glasses have green polka dots. My iPod cover is green. I think you all get the picture. :)

I also love bright colors. I love sage green. I love almost all shade of blue. I like pink and purple in moderation. I love pale yellow and neutral colors.

Sweet Treats

I love milk chocolate. I do not care for white or dark chocolate. I love KitKats and chocolate covered pretzels. I love sour candy, particularly Twizzler Sourz and any kind of sour gummy worms. I prefer pie to cake, but still love the icing off the cake. I love peanut butter cookies.

Comment: I've never received a streaming thoughts journal from you. The swap mail date was Oct. 15. If it arrives, I'll change the rating.

Comment: You never replied back to my email and I never received a package from you. You page says you were sick and haven't logged in since September yet you logged into your My Space page last on 10/17. So I guess you just decided to ignore my email and have no plans on sending the Think Pink swap items. I would be happy to exchange this for a good rating if I received my swap items.

Comment: I, too, never received anything. If there was a problem let me know, I'd rather not give you a bad rating if I don't have to! I see that you were ill, but that was a month ago. I hope it didn't turn into something serious!
