Down in the Park with Friends of Mine

We are not lovers, we are not romantics, we are here to serve

Bio


Who is 42?
A fairly typical college grad student with a blog, 42 lives and goes to school in Chicago Phoenix during the majority of the year. She has a BS in Psychology and is working toward a MA in Criminal Justice. Yay, social sciences. She is a liberal and an atheist, both contributed to her flight from more rural areas. Her LJ serves as an outlet for fandom squeeing and real life frustrations, either of which would otherwise cause her to spontaneously combust.

Random Loves.
Sour neon gummi worms, Barack Obama, veggie burritos from Chipotle, basil, Eeyore, Flamin' Hot Cheetos, INTJs, sunglasses, baseball on warm summer nights, geeking out with roommates and friends, Oak Street Beach (seen above), Northsiders, knitting, cooking, Blue Moon, listening to baseball on WGN, sarcasm, sleeping on a rainy day.
And, of course: The Windy City.

Television.
I officially have two great tv loves: The X-Files and Battlestar Galactica.
I also watch The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Arrested Development, South Park, and Reno 911. My tv viewership has seriously dropped off, but I've also been a fan of Heroes, Grey's Anatomy,andHouse.
'Ships? I'll keep it short and sweet: Mulder & Scully. Adama & Roslin. (I used to ship Christina & Burke, as well as Callie & Hahn on Grey's, but that show loves to kill my ships.)

Movies.
The Silence of the Lambs. Mothman Prophecies. Dogma. Saved. Contact. Chicago. The Break Up. Red Dragon. In Bruges. The X-Files: Fight the Future.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Music.
Fleetwood Mac. The Beatles. Snow Patrol. The Eagles. Rilo Kiley. Dixie Chicks. Jack Johnson. Damien Rice. Genesis. A little bit of everything awesome.

Sports.
Chicago Cubs baseball. Indianapolis Colts football. University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. Loyola University Ramblers basketball.

"She had been bored all afternoon by Percy Gryce -
the mere thought seemed to waken an echo of his
droning voice - but she could not ignore him on the morrow,
she must follow up her success, must submit to more
boredom, must be ready with fresh compliances and
adaptabilities, and all on the bare chance that he might
ultimately decide to do her the honour of boring her
for life."
-The House of Mirth

"The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell
you that you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be
correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job;
ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally
when they say 'no' - they may not be smart enough to say 'yes'."
-Keith Olbermann

Life here began out there.
This is not all that we are.
This has all happened before, and it will happen again.
