My name is Lisa. I'm 22. I just graduated from Washington State University with a rather completely non-useful Bachelor's degree in Humanities. My emphasis (does emphasis have a plural form?) was in English, foreign languages & cultures, and music. I'm not too very well-read, I don't speak any foreign languages more fluently than a native 3-year old, and I play a few instruments. Yup, definitely useful degree. Oh yeah, I minored in film studies. When I tell people this, they tend to assume that I've seen every movie ever made. In reality, I've seen every movie ever made that they don't know about and would think is totally shitty. In retrospect, I am completely unable to focus in the field of academia.

I do like to write. Sometimes I can write entertaining things; mostly, I just talk about the minute events of my own life. I have the gift of ramble, which isn't necessarily a gift, I suppose. It seemed to disappear anytime I had to write any sort of paper. How worthless.

I'm currently trying to find a job that I'm at least sort of sure I won't hate. Which is proving to be very difficult because: a.) I'm lazy (the morning commute 40-hour work week life makes me wanna puke but ya gotta do what ya gotta do), b.) I don't like being at the service of the general public, and c.) I think I'm more inclined to just become some sort of drug addict. Oh and d.) I'm picky. But alas, I dream of someday working in a library. I learned in my last job that 75% of old people are fucking nasty and scary and not the sweet angels that society paints them to be.

I'm way more bitter, sardonic, sarcastic, and misanthropic than I should be, and probably way more than I generally let on, unless you really get to know me. Or unless I decide that you're safe and I can make all my stupid sarcastic comments that I think are witty but actually aren't without me feeling like I'm gonna offend you. I'm very introspective and I like to spend time by myself just as much as I enjoy spending time with other people. I suppose this is a good thing; as Sarte once said, "if you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company." I guess this means I'm pretty awesome company, harharharhar.

And on the flip side, I can also be bubbly and social and inspired and awed and in love with the many small things that fill this world. I love love, and I love the beauty of culture. And I revel in making snarky comments about everyday absurdities. As much as I complain about the idiotic things that take up space in this world, I would be a little less happy having nothing to bitch about :)
