About Me

Not too skinny and not too chubby, soft like silly putty. I like animals that have features that are disproportionate to their body. I like the color blue and red, and eating avacados, and cans of olives, and drinking big glasses of wine, and camping, and taking my dog(s) to the park, and eating spicy food and listening to music, and getting excited when something new and seemingly different comes out, and getting haircuts, and big breakfasts on weekends, and going on road trips, and camping, and flying on planes to places that are warmer than where I'm at, and cold beer, and my man, and fresh mango, and chips and salsa, and the sun on my face, and lilacs, and crisp mornings, and and hotdogs, and finding/listening to songs that give me goosebunbs cuz they're so gooood, and popcorn with brewers yeast and soysauce, and cozy pajamas on Sunday mornings, and morning bedhead, and popsicles, and my dogs, and a million ideas for a tattoo but only really have one, and good hair product, and COFFEE, and people that smile at you when walking down the street, and dancing, and fresh sheets, and going to the dog park,and Hawaii,and watermelon, and swimming, and mint chocolate chip ice cream, and old men with pants up to their armpits, and the ocean, and running further than you think you can.

My Interests

Music, music, music, dancing, dancing, dancing. Snowboarding. Food, coffee, drinking and everything in between. I can crochet a mean scarf too. I adore my dogs, and really, any dog in general, I think all my non-dog owning friends get annoyed because me and my dog owning friends can talk about every little habit of our dogs for hours, it's kind of unsettling that I'm like that, because I hate listening to other people talk about their kids a lot.
