About Me

Well I suppose I should edit this once again.. Hmm lets see. Currently attempting to live every day to the fullest. Getting to know my neighbors, friends and family. Discerning between those that are true/real people and those that are fakers. I like to laugh a lot and take every opportunity to do so, even if it means I am being terribly inappropriate. Things that make me happy: Driving in my car in the middle of winter with all of the windows down, the heat blasting, belting one of many fave tunes within my vocal range. Kusmi tea from Russia. Playing soccer (well defense, recently got "promoted" to mid field, not happy about this.) Dancing around my apartment to Kanye. Receiving mail of any kind but specifically post cards. Making just about anything.. making out included. Canning just about anything, giving gifts, helping friends, helping anyone, walking, hiking, biking, running around the lake, sushi, Home of good BBQ, the taco bus, bubble tea, sushi bars, netflix, learningtoloveyoumore.com, Knitting, Sewing, Yogurt making, Writing, Reading, figuring out the good things that are hidden in the bad, meeting strangers and interesting people, my Mary lamp, playing accordion, traveling anywhere, the airport, my cats, making mixed CD's, being the only one in the movie theatre, k I am done writing this, that's all for now.
