About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn everything.

ABOUT ME

i love laughing and meeting new people, exploring and just experiencing as many things as possible

I am pretty much up for anything and I love spontaneous adventures and dancing, especially impromptu dances or flash mobs in the middle of the street

but i also really enjoy a quiet night in watching a movie or tv with friends or playing board/card games

PHILOSOPHY

Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you
-o. wilde

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To surrender dreams - -this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all - -to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Music, Movies, and Books

music-from lady gaga to metallica, i pretty much dig everything

movies-pulp fiction, dead poets society, the princess bride, good will hunting, she's the man (i know its not the best movie but i love amanda bynes a little too much) i love you man (again, not the best movie, but it kinda describes my life, yeah, i know its deep, im pretty profound) the shining (of course the original with jack nicholson) diehard and james bond-two action series with just enough special effects and fighting to not make them too cheesey, any con job film - catch me if you can, oh i like titanic too

books/plays-a dolls house is amazing, can never go wrong with death of a salesman or shakespeare, 'cat's cradle' is amazing, 'the unbearable lightness of being' is blowing my mind - i wish i had more time to read!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: Gone swimming off the South East Irish coast in April in 8 degree weather (amazing and so much fun!!) met bill clinton, met martina hingis

i'm sure there is more, at least i hope so.......

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a pretty broad knowledge base of social theorists (Marx, Weber, Durkheim), gender studies (especially sexism in the workplace and in educaion), and I could basically teach a course on lgbt representation in uk television-but i really dont know how that would really help anyone unless they had a paper on it, which is highly unlikely. but if they do, id be glad to help them out!!

i want to learn more about video editing...and everything!!!
