About Me:

I'm just your typical (former) university student who happens to be afflicted with a case of global romanticism.​ I think it may be quite serious. Now, to search the world over for a cure!

To be a bit more specific, I just finished up my undergraduat​e work in Psychology with a minor in Scandinavian​, and am now, um, wandering aimlessly through life. I am a compendium of random, useless pop culture information and I also daydream at an unhealthily high level. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...

I'm currently at that special age where I'm forced to transition from carefree youth to what-am-I-go​ing-to-do-wi​th-my-life??​!! adulthood. Honestly, I'm not really sure, but I hope somewhere in the world, wherever it may be, that there's a place for me.

Requests:

Don't be shy!, because I am, so unless you say something first, I probably won't. I disabled my Wall to non-friends,​ but please feel free to shoot a message.

Favorite Quotes:

"This is the worst kind of discriminati​on. The kind against me."- Bender of "Futurama"​

"I have not forgotten a thing. To forget means to die. I do not want to die."- Hannah, Amos Oz's "My Michael"​

"When the spring cloud clears after heavy rain, it seems to me as if it were weeping so hard that, at the end it simply dies (from excess of grief)."​- Ghalib's "The happiness of the drop is to die in the river"

"There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt. There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys, or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work. This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so; for the chair may have been left by a laughing child or the last notes of the piano may have been raucous and gay. Whatever the mood or the circumstance​, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows. It is a soundless echo." - Beryl Markham "West with the Night"

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."​- Jelaluddin Rumi

"'I love three things,' I say then. 'I love a dream of love I once had, I love you, and I love this patch of earth.'

'And which do you love best?'

'The dream.'"​- Glahn, Knut Hamsun's "Pan"​
