Not for all the love in the world...

About Me

I am a very open and honest person. I like to use sarcasm in everyday conversation and find humor in most awkward moments. I would do anything for those I consider to be my true friends. I have a habit of unintentionally memorizing useless information (I can sing the theme song to practically any late-80s' to mid-90s' sitcom). Reality dating shows and marshmallows are probably some of my guiltiest pleasures. I see nothurg wrong w/ wearing sandals at all times...even in the rain. I love arguing about politics, whether or not I actually agree w/ what I am saying. I also think it can be fun to dress up like a porn star or dance like a stripper occasionally... but DEFINITELY not at the same time (jk, i'm really just a nice girl i swear). My biggest fear is being stuck in a bad situation completely out of my control. I regret passing up on opportunities simply because of being scared of the unknown. My biggest wish is that I could one day look back at my life now and have no regrets...Deep huh? Yeah, I didn't think so either. 8o)
