About Me

I love everything about my life.

I'll tell you everything you'd want to hear about yourself before a car accident. You're an excellent driver and you have tremendously well-cut bangs. You have an astonishing aptitude for drinking bottles of vodka without so much as seeming to try. You're halloween costume was really great, really. You have a cool cell phone. God you dress well.

See, I'm good at this.

I hear violin solos when I walk across a room.

My Interests

my macbook, rain, a full tank of gas, espresso shots and whipped cream (con panna), dresden, chocolate soy milk, stretching, gin, my friends, flip flops, hot weather, low bills, and long skirts.

I'd like to meet:

well... nobody from online, but I don't think I'm supposed to say that.

They come and go as if they're someone else's days...

So I just did what I promised myself I would never do... I added a song to my profile.I know, I know - it's probably the most obnoxious a person could do, knowing full well that most people play music...

the good guy never wins.

I've learned it doesn't matter if you're a bitch so long as you aren't a bitch to the wrong people. I swear to God that's the only life lesson I'm picking up on here.

I guess a little honesty never killed anyone

I think the most offended I've ever been in my life was the moment a shrink said "what if I told you half of students I see have problems exactly like yours?" after I'd spilled him my fucking guts.So ...

on top of everything, this knee brace looks fucking weak.

I'm breaking fingernails off in my tea wondering why I keep building new little ant farms for myself to crawl around in if some snot nosed kid is just going to pour his kool-aide in the top every seco...

I hate women who say they hate women.

Sometimes, hugging people and holding their hand when they're sad isn't enough to make their hurting stop. I'm growing fond of empty, quiet rooms with couches and fluffy pillows. There is something...

whenever you said you were sorry...

Well that stung a bit. The kind of hurtful words that are so unexpected and so unecessary they leave you reeling as though you've just reached a point in drunkeness that you didn't believe you'd wa...

She looks like a girl who walks with her feet.

It's like she knew, but she didn't. I didn't see the black flowers on her door when I dropped her off last night. We were in Montgomery all weekend... and I could tell, she knew something was wrong...

don't be scared to say hello.

Sometimes I fear that one day I'll finally slip and say something so completely and utterly useless and vapid that everyone around will know how ridiculously ridiculous I am. Perhaps I am just unfe...
