LiveJournal Trading Cards Paid Account Edition raspberrypie User Number: 330732 Date Created:2004-02-16 Number of Posts: 1,593 Andrea is a passionate lover of animals, art, and literature. She'll kick your ass if you don't like her dog. She won't tolerate crap, or bad music, from anyone. & She's very bluntly honest. Unfortunately. Strengths: loving all of my friends, loyal, stubborn, artistic, creative, full of useless knowledge, can sleep through anything Weaknesses: forgetful, needs attention (like a widdle flower), sleeps a lot, doesn't like chores, is too romantic Special Skills: i can leap 100 miles in a single bound, i'm very picky, i can knit a scarf in a few hours, and i can identify most paintings by painter/time period. and i know kung-fu. *whoa* Weapons: my fat cat-pet (i throw her), the teeth of my vicious kitten, caltrops, paintbrushes, and the occasional axe-kick for extra damage. or i can stab you with a palette knife. F[r]iends: matt the monkey, mary the mongoose, maggie the monkfish, chris the cockatiel, scott the seahorse, and so on... Make your own LiveJournal Trading Card! Brought to you by crossfire this is my life in a very condensed form. and not entirely readable. if you want to, though, go for it. i'm rambly, however. so beware. my journal title comes from Claude Monet, who said, "Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment." Live a life in which you cram yourself with all kinds of metaphors, all kinds of activities, and all kinds of love. Ray Bradbury Anna Sewell said, "There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham." about me: i am twenty-six, going on two thousand... i live in the Baltimore area. i've worked in retail, which makes me very cynical. [though i am anyway.] i enjoy being around animals and learning new things. i am a sappy romantic, which is kinda lame but i don't care. i love to travel, and the best place i've ever been was iceland. i am overly cuddly with people i like. i enjoy sitting on park benches with iced tea and watching the world go by. i might design jewelry one day, if i can find a good program to learn it. or maybe i'll try out glassblowing. i'm going to have to figure out what i want to do with my life. right now, i'm working at a pharmacy, and another place [of mystery], and going to school several nights a week. barely leaves time for a social life, for my husband, for my cats... but it's something i want to accomplish. so, meanwhile i take photos and try to update, but sometimes i don't make it on LJ or anywhere else. c'est la vie. i've been married since 2008, to a wonderful man who i love very much. jared and i live in the 'burbs together, and want to buy a house to fill with cats and dogs. right now we have two kitties, elora and annabel lee, which are known as "fluffy" and "annabean" or "pook and beans" or whatever else we feel like calling them. i have been in school [again *cough*] for a year almost, and am hoping to be a nurse before i turn 30. then i want to work in public health, volunteer, and travel all over the world. we'll see how it goes. i like bad movies and i tend to talk during all of them. i want to learn how to play the mandolin. my friends are amazing & i love making new ones. you can't have too many people to socialize with, really. i crochet, knit, sew things (not very well), enjoy drinking hard cider and wine occasionally, hanging out and playing settlers of catan, writing odd notes to people, posting LOLcats at work to make people laugh... i really like making things for people, and wandering around with a camera and a notebook. i'm sarcastic, rude, straightforward, and generally frustrating to deal with. but if you can deal with me, i'm cool. it works. i'm living in baltimore & hoping to add 3 billion animals to the place. i'm addicted to the discovery channel and forensics shows, along with adult swim. except i don't watch TV now. so i just listen to music and read SO much. i also have a dark sense of humor. favorite books: Sophie's World, The Mists of Avalon, The Family Tree, The Hundred Secret Senses, 6 Moon Dance, A Series of Unfortunate Events series, The Phantom Tollbooth, Fahrenheit 451, 1984, A Handmaid's Tale, Corpse, The Bell Jar, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, the Sandman series, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy, The Inferno, anything by Shakespeare, especially "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "Romeo & Juliet," "Macbeth," "As You Like It," "A Winter's Tale," and so on, American Fuji, The Sun, The Moon, & The Stars, Sabriel & Lirael, Chronicles of Narnia, Blankets, Iceland, The Life of an Amorous Woman, American Gods, Neverwhere, authors: Terry Goodkind Michael Crichton David Eddings the Dalai Lama Sheri S.

"There's a penis behind everything on the internet." (from http://www.suburbanbliss.net/) "Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus" [Learn as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.] i read a lot. i have so many more things in my head but i'm too tired to mess about with them. but... read my journal, you just might like it. from http://www.wondermark.com True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy; Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger’d, puffs away from thence, Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. ~Shakespeare It wasn't in the words that kept sticking in their throats It wasn't with the angels in their quilted coats These battered wings still kick up dust Seduced by the noise and the bright things that glisten I knew all the time I should shut up and listen And I'm finding my way home from the great escape The further on I go, oh the less I know I can find only us breathing Only us sleeping Only us dreaming Only us Peter Gabriel where there is question there is no love, where there is love there is no question some of my icons are courtesy of lasso_themoon. that's about it. it's also thanks to the community emopea. woot! "Klonopin is a definite yes. That is some good shit, take it early and often, bro." from http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/how_to/the_nonexpert_broken_hearts.php [Choire Sicha] "When you fly through a cloud, it becomes just white, glaring light. And if you started falling right then, you would never know it, because you feel like you're falling anyway, not floating, just falling through the air, like a wish." ---erika krouse "Cross a man and you struggle, one of you wins, you adjust and go on - or you lie there dead. Cross a woman and the universe is changed, once again, for cold anger requires an eternal vigilance in all matters of slight and offense." ---from wicked ... oh god it's wonderful to get out of bed and drink too much coffee and smoke too many cigarettes and love you so much -Frank O'Hara
