About Me

i'm very important. i have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
i am in australia until further notice! i've learned that traveling is a big priority for me and want to see a lot more. i also want to hit up europe and then road trip across the US and canada, but i gotta take it one at a time. so far what i've seen is that people are truly remarkable. complete strangers will do their best to help you. it's the neatest feeling in the world.
my two dogs, arleigh and schatzie, are the greatest gifts of joy ever. they make waking up easier and coming home all the better! and arleigh stalks me until we go on a walk around the neighborhood. and i wouldn't have it any other way!
i really like this quote from zorba the greek: "you've got everything except one thing: madness! a man needs a little madness or else he never dares cut the rope and be free."
i'm known to quiz people on trivia that no one needs to know. and don't be surprised if i say "well, that reminds me of a simpsons/office/seinfeld episode..." just nod your head and smile. these things will soon crack me up and you'll be free to go. :)
i have a freakishly good memory. so i don't mean to freak you out when i recognize you behind a counter somewhere and we never actually had a class together in high school, but i remember seeing you in the halls or something random like that. i can recall the most minute details at times, whether i like it or not!
if i were a cat, this is how i would be:
