Intro for Rhetoric (450)

My blog has been rather temperamental lately, so I apologize that this is so late. Also, from now on my blog posts for this post will be followed by (450) so that you know what of this mess you actually have to look at :)

I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food. I am into champagne. 

I'm a Junior studying Writing, and whenever somebody asks me what I plan on being later in life with a degree in English I generally respond with "homeless", "the President of the United States", or "trophy wife". I actually want to be Johnny Depp in Secret Window before John Turturro shows up. Or, in other words, I want to live in a kick-ass cabin in the woods and write short stories in my bathrobe.

Before I was an English major my dream was to study psychology and work with violent sexual offenders with the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI. Although I didn't go that route, I can still tell you almost anything you want to know about most serial killers, which I have found makes a lot of people uncomfortable and is not a good conversation starter at parties. 

I was raised in Alaska, and rocked the stereotype by being a competitive sprint dog musher for most of my younger years. Nowadays, I like reading, writing, playing mandolin, and spending time with people I love. I also like Pilates. I don't actually do it. I just think it's a good idea.
