| Bio: | Edu stuff: IB from back in the day, BA in psych and women's studies, MA in cultural psychology and program evaluation
Job stuff: coordinator of a non profit in downtown Los Angeles - I do research on health care disparities with community clinics across the state. I travel a lot for work to speak at conferences on what we do. Helping people + research nerding out = yay!
For fun stuff: traveling - I lived and studied in London for a while, studied in Belfast and do lots of travel for work. Shopping, swimming, reading, the beach, exploring LA, hanging out with the boy, friends and my pug.

Happy the Man – Horace translated by John Dryden
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He, who can call today his own
He, who secure within, can say
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair, or foul, or rain, or shine,
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate are mine.
Not heaven itself upon the past has power
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
     
Tiny Dancer
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny Dancer in my hand.
Jesus freaks, out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes a stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tunes she hums
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her

And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny Dancer in my hand.
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today.
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today.

i wish you all the joy that you can wish
I love love love my 4 yr old pug, Olive. She is a rescue from a puppy mill where she was one of the breeder/moms. She spent all of her life in a cage before we got her so now she's totally spoiled and in love with me and the boyfriend.
and SATC is love.
