About Me

Hello there stranger/friend. I just don't know what to write here. Most of you know about me already, right? I mean, you tell me - what would you write here? I definitely want to write something cool. If it's leaning toward uncool then I'd rather die. You know?I miss my homies: John, Randy. Joel, Nico, Ryan, and Henry. Ray & Josh & Danny! I miss my girlies: Sammi, Ashley, Emmy, Lizabeth, Kristin; Mar. Sara and Sara :) JMR. I LOVE MY MOTHER AND MY SISTER AND THEIR SUPPORT. Mess with them, and you'll find that my foot didn't fit through your head as much as you thought it would. I hope your day is going well and that you find something a little inspiring in a commonplace. :)
