I don’t understand how I can love things so much when I generally hate everything.　

restarks:

let’s face it we’re all in lesbians with jennifer lawrence

Me trying to make a quick ‘about me’ video for care.com and immediately screwing up.

Me 

• Hi, I’m Beth, you can call me Beth, unless you come up with a cool nickname for me, I’m always in the market for a cool nickname.
• I am a girl, though I don’t always act like it.
• I’m 22, I hope to graduate Winter 2012 with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I want to teach preschool or kindergarten.
• I am the 6th of 7 kids, I have 2 nieces and 4 nephews, I love my family, even though we have a bunch of issues (especially lately), who doesn’t?
• I live in St. Louis, grew up here, probably going to die here, but I hope to see some of the world first.
• Though lately I don’t see much outside of my bedroom. Hermit with social anxiety blahblahblah.
• I live with my younger sister, our cat (he prefers her), 5 fish (they are hers), my hamster, and my bunny rabbit (I got him because my cat didn’t love me anymore and I was lonely, and I love him).
• I love tv, and movies, and books, and I find myself just fangirlling pretty much all the time, but that’s nothing new.
• I’m straight, not that I’ve ever had any boyfriends to back up this fact, and looking at my blog one might assume I’m a lesbian based on how much I obsess over actresses, I can’t really explain it, I guess I have gay tenancies but who the hell doesn’t?
• I’m an atheist, I have been since I was kid and started thinking for myself, even though I didn’t even know the word for it then. My moral compass points towards good, not God.
• I don’t really know what else to tell you, my ask is always open, anon or not, whether you have questions or just want to talk, come on in.
• That’s my nephew and me in my title gif, there’s also a link to the stupid webcam pictures I tend to take of myself when bored, but here’s a regular picture of me that I sort of like, wearing a batman tee in a super fancy restaurant:

reblog so people know who you are? 

Name: Beth
Tumblr Name: oywithepoodle
Nickname(s): Beth is short for Laura Elizabeth

Birthday: September 2nd

Relationship Status: Single 

Random fact about you: Dr. Pepper will be the death of me.

Hobbies/Interests: Movies, tv, books, the basic escapes from real life.

Do you smoke/drink: I drink occasionally, hardly ever.

Why Tumblr?: I discovered it when looking for stuff about Psych when that obsession started almost a year ago, then the season ended and I quickly found other fandoms to fill my time, particularly Chuck. It’s just another way to escape, I guess.

Welcome, this is me: 

My name is Laura Elizabeth, but I mother decided to make my life difficult and have me go by Beth, I will hold it against her forever.  By the time I got to college I realized it’s not even worth it to inform my professors of the fact, sure I go to a school with small classes where they will likely learn my name and face, but it’s not worth the confusion and the risk of them mixing up my grade cause of my damn name. Plus, I barely speak in class so if I do happen to talk with anyone, I just let them call me Laura because I’ll probably never talk to them outside of class.

Anyway, that’s my little rant about my name. Call me Beth, call me Oy or Poodle or whatever the hell you want. I kinda like the idea of going by Oy, though, now that I think about it ;)

Back to it, I was born and raised in St. Louis, I still haven’t gone very far away. My family is very important to me and when it came time to pick a college, I just couldn’t imagine going far away. I have 4 older brothers, 1 older sister and 1 younger sister (you might hear of her a lot, she’s my best friend <3) I’ve got 2 nieces, 3 nephews (2 of which are twins), and I sometimes feel like I have partial custody of them I spend so much time with them. When I’m not with them I’m probably babysitting some of my dozens of cousins or at the family I nanny for. Probably as a result of being around all these children, my major is Early Childhood Education, I want to teach preschool or kindergarten, hopefully not much older.

What else to tell you….I played field hockey, basketball, and soccer in high school, I was voted most athletic in my class, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that now, I only played a year of soccer in college, now I live a lazy existence. I actually haven’t gained any weight since quitting, but I just love doing nothing all the time. I don’t smoke, I rarely drink, and I’ve never done any drugs. Not that I have anything against all that, except the smoking one.  And the last thing I want to say about myself is about religion; I have none. My sister and I have been atheists since a very young age, we came into it on our own, maybe with a little influence from our oldest brother, but the rest of our family is catholic and it’s become very important to me to be open about where I stand. I have nothing against people who believe in god, a small part of me even envies those with faith, but I can’t try to pretend to have faith in religion when it is so clearly not what I believe. I’m a good person. I genuinely hate when I think I’ve hurt other people, it’s probably why I’m so quiet and keep to myself, I never want to offend anyone. People need to be decent to others because they’re people. Don’t try to convert me because I’m too far gone and I have no desire to convert anyone else. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Ok, this is much longer than I had originally intended, if you actually read this far thank you, I hope you feel like you maybe kinda sorta know the person behind all these Chuck, Psych, Disney, Smallville, Harry Potter, HIMYM, TBBT, Gilmore Girls, That 70’s Show, nerdy and random posts you keep seeing.
