And so it begins (again)

Though it may seem like I am setting up a blog for the sole purpose of reviewing Taking Leave (a noble cause to be sure and a review is forthcoming), in all actuality, I'm setting this up because I feel like I have changed too much to be able to use my old blog. Not to mention my old blog is hosted on xanga and I have always disliked the setup of that site and no one uses it anymore. That blog existed for working through some of the various neurosis involved in growing up and getting Celiac and other medical maladies that made me not really who I was. It was kind of like that episode of the X-Files when the guy repeats over and over "We are not who we are." Just like that (except for the prehistoric parasites and killings, of course). So, to people who have followed me over here from there, hello again and to anyone who happens to stumble upon this now, hello hello.

So briefly about me to catch you up:

• I am a tv nerdfighter.

• I know an abundance of completely useless trivia. (7up originally contained lithium, and first became popular during the Great Depression because of it)

• I'm studying to be an occupational therapist. (4 more semesters after this one and I will have my masters)
  

• I am hoping to eventually get a job as an OT in a VA hospital. I want to be able to serve my country, as corny as it sounds.
  

• When I was little, I wanted to be a FBI agent just like Scully on The X-Files, and then I realized that I am horrible in running in heels. I think working in a hospital solving a different kind of mystery is more up my alley.

• I love music, especially if it is intelligently written. Which is a snobby thing to say, I realize, but I like stories and poetry more than mindless repetition.

• I'm currently living in Arkansas. It's a beautiful state, but a Nerdfighter mecca it is not.

Also, I probably want to be your friend.
