About Me

Hi. I'm Holli. I live in Boise, Idaho, which I enjoy very much. I do things at the last minute and prefer to be spontaneous, not at all a planner. I read and write a lot. If you tell me your story, it might end up in one of mine, at least in part. I'm one of those annoying people who knows everyone, at least in or around downtown Boise, day or night. Life is fun.
Which psedo-historical figure best suits me? Dante Alighieri. We both have very high moral standards... and some difficulty adhering to them.
