Liz!

Hi! since i have not done it yet, here is my introduction. first off, somehow technology left me behind in the last 7 years and i have no idea how to work this blog page , but i think i am kind of figuring it out. it seems like this class hasnt really started yet for some reason. we go to 2 classes, then have 2 weeks off, it just feels odd like its really not part of my schedule yet. but i am sure that will change in the next couple weeks. I did read Ishmael and it wasnt the spiritual uplifting experience that everyone seems to see it as. Maybe i am spiritually stunted or something. My mind just doesnt think like that, or perhaps it does and i just dont stop to take the time to realize it. So this semester is going to be interesting to say the least.

Anyway. my introduction. My name is Elizabeth Mackey, i go by Liz as you all have probably figured out. Its funny when sitting writing about myself i have to stop and think, people actual read this?! Josh Homme from Queens of The Stone Age said once that people who are "bloggers" like on myspace or livejournal are dillusional in thinking that people actually read their "blogs" and care. that always made sense to me because in reality, do you ever read anyone's blogs on myspace or livejournal? Which is a interesting turn because people usually write very well and elaborate on ideas about themselves rather extensively in "blogs", just sucks that they dont get read...
I am 25 years old, ill be 26 in March. I have the life experiences of a 150 year old, but my lifestyle and mindset is that of a 18 year old. I am blissfully unemployed and go to school full time. I am a Women's and Gender Studies major with a minor in Women's Health and i have no intentions of doing social work when i am done with my schooling. Madeline Albright said "there is a special place in hell for women who dont help other women", and that is entirely true, but social work is not what i see myself doing, but i do intend to surround myself women in my career field.
I am a single mother of a little boy. His name is Avery Vengeance Mackey, named after the RAD guitarist of Avenged Sevenfold (that is a story in itself that i shall spare you.). he turned 2 on january 12th and i am very thankful that i chose to have children, well A child, in my young adult years because i dont think that in 10 years my body would have the energy that it takes to keep up with a 2 year old. Me and Avery's life is one giant learning experience for the both of us.
i am obsessed with music and everything about music. its what i live my life in and what i live for. and i think the best place in the world to be is at a live show. (thats where the only spirituality really exists in my life) standing there at a live show closing your eyes and feeling the music is the best high anyone could ever ask for.
i live in Novato CA. i love Novato, its my town and my people. i have moved around a whole lot all over the country, but always end up back in novato.
anything else, just ask, i dont hold anything back and tell the truth, so shoot!
love liz
