Heroes
My two heroines are Audrey Hepburn and Angelina Jolie for about the same reasons. Both, of course, were/are beautiful and unbelievably talented actresses, and being an actress is a dream I have in about the same way waitress tend to dream of being country singers! Yeah right. Audrey Hepburn I love for her elegance and class, and Angelina Jolie for her adventuresome personality and buddhist prayer tattoo! What I find abmirable about both of them is there dedication to the United Nations. Both were/are Good Will Ambassadors that have truly helped people in need all over the world. They were given such a priveledged plot in society and made the best of it!
New Heros!!! THE DIXIE CHICKS! Hurray for speaking you mind, freedom of speech, and brilliant artistic expression!!!

Hi, my name is Darby. I love art of all forms; dancing, singing, music, painting…..it’s been a couple of years since any poetry has found its way out of me and acting I just sadly have not had time for, but lately I’ve been working on a Political Art Portfolio (mostly paintings). Maybe one day it will make me famous. I like to do watercolors of the places I go as well.
I studied German with minors in Medieval and Renaissance Studies and English Literature. I finished my Bachelor’s degree in December 2007 and moved back to Munich (I lived here 2005-06 too)…actually, I’m in an apartment with my boyfriend Philipp in Dachau. After going through many stages of transition, loving and hating the apartment, I think I finally feel at home. Philipp has been amazingly understanding.
I am currently working three jobs, one at the newly renovated BMW Museum! I am at the information and ticket counter. It’s a fabulous job…interesting history, cars (which I love), I get to speak German 95% of the time, and I get museum experience. I also work for New Munich at New Europe Tours and give tours to English speaking tourist through the inner city of Munich, which is great because I get to show off all that I learned in college! I’m finding that Munich’s history is also addictively fascinating. And the third job is working as a medical translator, translating articles from German to English. It’s um…interesting…yes…
I applied to a Master’s program in “Historische Kunst- und Bilddiskurse” (Art and Visual Culture) and I got in! YAY! It will start in October, and I am overly excited about that (read my blogs)! If you want to know more about the program, check out the website at www.kunst-bilddiskurse.de.
Who I'd like to meet: MARK TWAIN!!!

Yes I have a degree in german. I also have a culinary degree. Right now I am getting a third degree in accounting. Not very exciting, but it will get me a steady day job. Art and electronic music are my hobbies.
"I am not a 'democrat' only because 'humility' and equality are spiritual principles corrupted by the attempt to mechanize and formalize them, with the result that we get not universal smallness and humility, but universal greatness and pride, till some Orc gets hold of a ring of power - and then we get and are getting slavery." -J.R.R. Tolkien
Hello there Miss Darbs. How are you doing? Where are you even living currently.. more appropriately, where in the world is Darby Adams? Heading back to San Diego in less than 2 months... eehhh!
So, how's life in Germany? Wish I got to see you once more before you left. Any plans for a visit to the States in the near future? Miss you. Write back soon :)
Hahaha, no that's from Galway. It happened right as Brett and I were leaving a strip club. I cut my nose my own over-grown thumb nail...quite silly actually!! A vespa sounds SWEEEEEEEET! We were looking at pictures of Rome in Theatre HIstory the other day and it made me reminisce on our vespa adventures...
Well things have been busy busy, getting ready for school to start up again. How are your days? I was annoyed a few days ago when a dozen Somersett residents decided to call ME to deal with their snow removal.
I'm sure you're busy packing for your trip and move, but I just wanted to let ya know that I will miss having class with you. I wish you all the best of luck in Deutschland and next time I get a chance to come over there, I'll let ya know. Gute reise!!
