There's water at the bottom of the ocean.

About Me

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: GUILTY PLEASURES: Taco Bell, Star Trek, Myspace, Facebook HOBBIES: dancing like a silly for no reason at all, singing songs that nobody else knows, being outdoors, reacting dramatically to hockey games as I watch them, drinking several ice cold lagers FAMILY: 1 brother, 1 niece, 2 nephews, 9 step siblings, and 2 sets o'parents. CURRENT LIFE PHASE: I'm a college graduate who lives in her brother's basement. I know what I wanna be when I grow up, but I don't know how to make that happen and honestly I don't really wanna grow up. I've been described as just one of the guys who it's okay to cuddle with, a leftover hippie and more recently as cute and misunderstood.

The latest
