A work in progress...

Dreams, ideas, and plans not only are an escape, they give me a purpose, a reason to hang on. - Steven Callahan

Up to 1200 characters? They're kidding right? That's not nearly enough to explain the maddness that is me. I'm a 26 year old lesbian living in Texas and going to college. Wow, that didn't take as long as I thought... well that's just great now there's gonna be this big empty space and you're going to think that I'm boring before you even read the rest - oh wait only my friends read this thing... that's okay 'cause you guys already know I'm boring!

Gotta Get Goals

Okay, Kristyn tagged me for this thing so this is all her fault.

My goals:

1. Graduate College. This is first because I want to not only have the magic piece of paper that can get me better jobs but also the knowledge that comes with it. I love to learn but once I graduate I can focus more on those subjects that really interest me.

2. Have no money worries. I want to be able to own a comfortable home and not have to worry about everyday expenses. I'd like to have investments that will see me through retirement without having to worry about whether or not I will outlast the money.

3. Contribute. I want the freedom (both in time and finances) to give to causes I believe in. Examples would include literacy programs like http://www.reachoutandread.org/ and human rights causes like http://www.hrc.org/

4. Lose weight. I don't want to be skinny (I really don't) I just want to be healthy.

5. Help people. As a Psychology major I want to help people. I want to help those with family troubles or with depression. I also want to be listed in the gay yellow pages as a therapist. This will help me reach out to and help people in the coming out process as well as their families. I would like to set up groups for gay people to talk about their issues with one another. I would also like to start a chapter of PFLAG http://www.pflag.org/ for parents and friends of gay people to talk to one another about what they are going through.

Well, those are my main goals in life.
