About Me

I grew up in the great state of California, born and raised in SoCal.  I went to college in Southern California, studied abroad in Europe for my junior year and graduated a couple years ago.  I decided to take some time off before going back to school to get my graduate degree in History and during that time, I moved to the East Coast and then the Midwest where I currently make my home.  After two long years of moving, working, and realizing I don’t like the corporate world, I am finally starting my graduate education to pursue the career I have always wanted to have.

I love to read.  Love, love, love it.  My favorite book is L’Inferno and I hope to be able to read it in Italian someday.  I love the Harry Potter series, any well-written historical fiction, and pretty much any non-fiction history book I can get my hands on.  I’m also really crafty – I can sew, crochet, knit, and quilt and I primarily use that when I am sitting in front of the tv so my mind doesn’t turn into mush.  I love doing crossword puzzles, sudoku, kakuro, and various other puzzle games which also keep my brain from turning to mush.  I have to always keep my mind going, which is kind of funny because I’m really lazy.  Like, incredibly lazy.  I can’t help it, it’s just how I am.  And since it seems as though it might put a better slant on what I am writing – I am a 25-year old single woman.  I don’t think that’s necessary to know, but some of you may think it is.

So this is me.  My blog is pretty much just me.  I need a place to put down my thoughts (a tangled bunch, for sure).  If you want to comment on it, please do.  The free exchange of ideals is so important in our society today.

Author’s note: I have a personal policy to not change my blogs after they have been published.  I have tried to keep that one rule sacred for this blog, but I have realized that if I find spelling/grammar errors in what I have written, I feel compelled to correct them because it just looks bad and is actually a pet peeve of mine.  With that said, once it is published, it is my vow that I will never change the actual content or meaning of my writing.
