About Me



I upload waaaay too many pics

Hello to you! I'm Vera. Nope, thats not short for anything

if i had a nickle for everytime a hypocrite complained about hypocrisy...i'd be a rich lady. Hyporcrisy is human.

"People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned. "-James Baldwin

When I Grow Up, All I Want to be is Ginger Rogers its true

INTEGRITY IS THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT KEEPING

My Interests

having friend crushes...and picking favorites nights at the beach, museum visits, day trips to Chicago(or any other big city for that matter), going to bars with fun girls...bars that investment bankers frequent, reading and writing, people who wear glasses, boys who make me laugh, girls who make me smile, necking, flirting, smiling, cooking, being psychic, learning to control my temper, taking care of myself, being a good friend, having good friends, taking and giving advice, appreciating others, being appreciated, the male brain, learning to be more organized, feeling like i'm five, thrift stores where shirts cost cents as opposed to dollars, watching movies, finishing movies, not finishing movies, being on the same page , making smorgisboards with my best friend, giving Amanda quarters to win "friends" out of claw machines, a good pair of shoes, people who don't care about doing what everyone else thinks they're supposed to and instead do whats right for them, making rainy day mix cds, being pleasantly surprised, resisting impulse, amazing song lyrics, giving genuine compliments, laughing till it hurts, my superman watch, humility, finding happiness when its hard to find, long talks with my seven year old sister, waking up at my mom's house, knowing how someone feels without them saying a word, comfortable silence, underwear, my twin bed...most of the time

I'd like to meet:



just him thanks
