I’m a journalist, so at my core, I seek information, and I first and foremost need knowledge. I require it- it’s my oxygen. I live a life where not knowing is the worst thing that could happen. I only have the questions, and I’m searching for the answers. I wholeheartedly believe love is an investment- information is insurance.

On a more serious note, I am a double major of journalism and political science at a random, crappy Midwestern university. I prefer big cities, but I’m stuck in a random, crappy Midwestern college town. I have big ambitions, but the my strong procrastination skills drive me off track, which is why I’m at a random, crappy Midwestern university in a random, crappy Midwestern college town. I work for my random, crappy Midwestern university’s college newspaper, which is actually pretty fantastic and even award winning.

I am spunky, stubborn, snarky, silly, and sweet. I employ useless alliteration. I overuse commas and ellipses. I am fiercely independent, and watch way too much television. To make up for it, I try to be super-smart and care about politics.

I am totally ripping this from The Almost Royal‘s “About” page, but, I will almost certainly write something that will completely make me seem as though I have some form of bias and will regret later. If I upset or offend you, let me know- I deserve any shit you can send my way. Oh, that’s another thing: I like love to swear.

I’m a little self-righteous, a little self-conscious, and kind of self-centered. I provide a good listening ear, and apparently I like to shut people out, especially if you’re a close, personal friend. Most days, I fancy myself Superwoman (is that a comic book character/superhero? If not, insert kick-ass superhero here) and that’s why.

Sometimes I make my post titles song lyrics or derive posts from topics recently seen on Grey’s Anatomy or recently heard on my iTunes or iPod. I am an Apple geek, even though I unfortunately have a piece of shit Compaq. I instantly geek/apeshit for anything Apple or Blackberry, because I covet but don’t have.

I write about my life, the struggles, the emotional politics and roller coasters, my friends and basically, my experiences. The blog is a part of my life, but it doesn’t consume it.

If you are that curious about who I am, here is the ever-ubiquitous “100 things about me” post. I kind of went overkill, and I update whenever I feel like it, so it’s way more than 100 things.

So read my writing, if you must. I am actually glad you’re here. Thanks for stopping by. I hope I’m not terribly boring. My many neuroses make me quite the character, so maybe you’ll enjoy it. I take awhile to get used to and like, so please come back. I’m like a fungus: I grow on you.
