past
i was born in michigan 28 years ago. after a short stint there, my family (mom, dad, brother, sister, and i) moved to maine. this move started a trend for us. we moved 9 times in the next 18 years. (in case you were curious, i have lived in: michigan, maine, connecticut, new jersey, illinois, texas, wisconsin and massachussetts.) it pretty much sucked. i went to 3 high schools. i guess i am glad that i moved so much. adversitiy makes us who we are. yadda, yadda, yadda. i have a bachelor's degree in engineering, majoring in industrial design and minoring in art. from a way cool university. my first job out of college was sucky.
present
i have been happily married to scott for 6 years. we have a cute-as-a-button house and two dogs, karma and mabel. karma is on the right and mabel is on the left. i now have a sucky job at the same university i graduated from. (i'm not saying the university is sucky - i love my alma mater - just my job is sucky.)
i compare myself to others too much which makes me feel like a lost soul sometimes. everyone else has a real career, or money to throw around, or tons of creative talent, or great hair. how is anyone suposed to live up to that? i certainly can't.
i struggle with my own personal philosophy sometimes. i am often too liberal for my own good (if that's possible). i am drawn to wiccan and pagan ideas but am too entrenched in the whole judeo-christian ideology to have the guts to do more than read about it.
i love to spew pretentious bullshit and wax philosophical.
i have a very strange sense of humor. i'll leave it at that.
