about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children." --Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina Teen 2007

Stupidus Asinus

October 26, 2005

In my job search, I’ve recently come across a career opportunity in, of all things, CLAY. And it’s a real job, with like, a real company. Not that a job at a pottery studio wouldn’t be a real job, but this job is with a very well known international company who isn’t exactly famous for its work in clay.

I had pretty much resigned myself to marketing myself as if I had earned a liberal arts degree, so I never expected to find a job in clay. I even called the representative to confirm that I was qualified for this job. She told me they were looking for people with experience in sculpture, fine arts, and/or clay. Um… check, check, and check! So I’m trying to reconfigure my resume to reflect my clay sculpture experience, since I intentionally left off most of that sort of thing in my “just-as-good-as-a-liberal-arts-degree” resume.

While reviewing my transcript, I noticed two things that have been updated since I put together my previous resume. First, my GPA has somehow gone up from at 3.65 to a 3.75. This makes no sense to me, since I haven’t had any new grades tabulated in the last three weeks. The second thing I noticed is that there is now a section called institutional honors and under that heading, I’m listed as Cum Laude. And, as much as I wish it wasn’t important to me, I love having that distinction attached to my transcript. (Though, now that I’ve checked the guidelines for academic distinction, something isn’t right. Cum Laude is listed as 3.50-3.69, and Magna Cum Laude is listed as 3.70-3.89. So either my GPA is listed wrong, or the honors section isn’t updated. Whatever. I got Latin words besides stupidus asinus attached to my transcript, so I’m happy.)

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
