'I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am.' -Jean Giraudoux

I am proudly half Swedish and a true Boston girl at heart, but I have lived all over the country and world including Texas, Sweden, the UK, California  Alaska, New York, and Maine.  I am a lover of learning, music, art, and the sciences; I am majoring in Biology with the ultimate goal of going to medical school and becoming a trauma surgeon.  On the surface, I am a true old fashioned woman; no guest of mine has ever been able to say that they left my home hungry or with a frown on their face.  I proudly still have the same core values that I was born and raised with.

I tend to be too honest and straight forward at times, and I constantly working on my verbal "filter." I love to travel and try new things.  I prefer my television's power button to be on the off position and my bookshelves to be filled.  There is nothing like the feel of an actual book in my hands, and the anticipation of turning its pages and discovering the excitement of the knowledge and stories written on them.   I am terrified of being stuck with a predictable life, and I do not find solace and comfort in the routine country life; I am a true city girl. I want to venture down as many roads less traveled as possible.  I am fierce lover of animals, especially horses and dogs.  I own two rescue pit bulls, and I spend a lot of my time and money fighting breed specific laws bringing positive awareness to the breed and rescuing pit-bulls from kill shelters, fighters, and breeders.  Life without dogs, children, or music to me is just plain unfair.  I have played the alto-saxophone since I was 10, and I am huge lover of all music.  My playlist has been known to go from Pachebel, The Rolling Stones, and on back around to Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash in a matter of minutes.  I have been a ballerina and gymnast my whole life along with a competitive distance runner since high school.  I now spend my time doing yoga, training for fitness bikini competitions, running, reading about the sciences and World War II history, and working full time as a Phlebotomist.


I have no tolerance for bullies, and even though I come from a pretty conservative background, I believe that everybody's voice should be heard and understood regardless if I agree with the message or not.  People who push me to think outside the box excite me, and I love to surround myself with these kinds of individuals.  I have to see Fiji before I die, and I would love to one day live in Paris for a few years.  Ultimately, I want to live and learn.  If I won the lottery, I would go to school for the rest of my life and travel the world.  Meeting new people, exchanging ideas, experiencing new things, and hanging around animals are what I am all about.  So sit down, help yourself to some red velvet cake and Swedish vodka and enjoy my crazy but fun world!

  1. Fallon,

    Excellent first post! Your writing talent is amazing, and I look forward to reading your future posts. You have a natural writing style that is easy to follow, well-organized, and very articulate. Great skill.

    Your blog is great, but the text is a bit hard to read. Is there a way that you can correct this next time? It looks like you pasted from another doc, and that the background color came with it. Try to type write into blogger to avoid this.

    Great pictures and quotes.

    I would also suggest that you place your pictures throughout your post, as opposed to just the bottom. Put a picture right at the top, to capture your reader and draw them in.

    Other than that, you blog is great. You seem to have many interests and talents that make you a dynamic person. I look forward to reading more and getting to know you more.

    Great work!
