About Me

I'm a senior at PSU, in a year I'll have a BS in Organismal Biology. Right now school takes most of my time.

My sarcasm is so thick sometimes even I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.

Most of my best friends have four legs.

It's been said that I'm on the small side of diminutive.

I have a passion for ballet and a bum ankle. They do not mix well.

I can't spell.

"You're very in touch with and articulate about the things you don't like and why you don't like them." I think this was Frank's gentle way of telling me I'm cranky.

I'm a big fan of a warm blanket and a good book.

My Interests

reading. coloring. cardigan sweaters. kitty cats. hot chocolate. public transit surfing. zombie movies. cartoons. science. bettas. swing sets. dogs. driving alone. rats. making checklists. cooking/baking. singing when no one's listening. sunshine. other things.

I'd like to meet:

Who don't I want to meet?

Music:

Good old fashioned pop punk!

It’s winter

I'm really craving a snow covered city and sledding. Someone buy me a plane ticket.   No, seriously, you should.
