Now that you've waded through all the useless information about me, let's get down to the relevant stuff that will help you in your everyday life.

I'm just over 21 years old at this point, and I am currently enrolled at Mesa Community College taking one class. ONE CLASS! I normally attend Southwestern College, a small Christian school where I am working towards a Bachelors in Biblical Studies. I am planning on transferring to Biola in a year or two, where I can hopefully study the Bible by day, and Improv by night at Second City. And once I am proficient in both, I will combine the two into a blasphemous, sacrelicious career Improving the Bible each weeknight at a small theater in downtown PHX. Twice on Saturday. I will call it The Bible as Best I Can Remember It.

Just kidding.

I am very serious about my faith, though, and one of the few things I would like to be intelligent about is the who's, why's and when's of Christ. I am fascinated by apologetics and Theology and would like to one day teach college level classes on the subject. I'm aiming for a doctorate, if only for the sure confusion it would cause in people once they got to know me ("...She's a DOCTOR?... Are they letting idiots get PHD's now?").

My other love in life is improv. I can remember watching Whose Line in the seventh grade and just being amazed. It wasn't until I joined a performance group called Medium Rare that I realized just how awesome and entertaining it could be, not just for the audience, but for the people on stage as well. It's hard, demanding work that keeps you on your toes all the time, lest you be unable to keep up. I've been forced to hone my acting and storytelling skills and it's done me a lot of good. Not to mention I made probably the best friends in the world through the group.

Improv is also a great matchmaker, as I can atest to. Through Medium Rare I met Jeff Breuer, who took away my title of The Dateless Wonder in March of 2003. :) As I write this, it has been a glorious 13 months and I couldn't have asked for a better guy. I was single for almost 5 years when we met, and he's put up with a lot from me. He's adorable, sweet, smart, funny, talented and passionate about his life and where God wants him to be. I got him by pure luck, and I have no one to thank but God.

And just in case you were looking at this and thinking to yourself "wow, she seems incredibly humble and insanely amazing. The world would be a better place if more people were like her" (don't pretend like you weren't), lemme just add that I am a closet fangirl. I may not be the anime addict that I was 3 years ago, but in me still beats the heart of a bishounen-lusting, shoujo-watching, fanfic-writing cheeseball. It started with Sailor Moon and has moved on to Utena, Escaflowne, Ranma, Saber Marionnette, Haunted Junction, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Hana Yori Dango... I could go on. I do write fanfiction and am known for my angst. I've been to 3 conventions. I enjoy the artwork, the music, the plotlines... the list goes on.

Um, can't think of much else... brain tired. Turning off.
