About Me

A bit eccentric.
I love laughing & being a complete doofus. When I was a kid, my mom would always tell me to stop goofing off. "It's unladylike and nobody will ever want you". :( Wrong. Everyone loves a clown. Well. Not circus clowns.. or IT.. Ok, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned clowns. Moving on. I grew up immersing myself in books and music. I was a true book worm. I sat at the front of the bus with my head buried in books. Folklore, mythologies, fairy tales–all this reading about magic and such.. I like to believe there's a little bit of magic in the world. It's not all science and equations. I hope not at least. Yes, it's naive. It's the piscean in me. I'm very much grounded, but every once in a while, I like to get lost in the clouds. Currently, I'm a graphic design major @ UH. I spend most of my days and nights dwelling within the pastey white walls of the graphics studio. As consuming and demanding as it is, I can honestly say, I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. In my spare time–which is never, I paint. It is my means of escape. Brush strokes and color is therapy. I love making things. I'm a problem solver. I have all these ideas waiting to be fulfilled.
Just you wait and see...
