I am here for Friends

About Me

I have a whole lot to say, but I don't say too much at first. I grew up around loud, attention-grabbing performers and drama queens, so I learned pretty quickly to be a listener. I love music; I think if you can't be moved by music, you can't be moved by much. Same goes for great writing. I'm the kind of girl who buries herself in books and looks like she's not paying attention (but is really watching everything and dreaming up the best words to describe it). I am easygoing. I can sleep anywhere. I love traveling and new experiences. I am passionate about teaching, especially to those who think they don't want to be taught -- I love changing minds and surprising people. I am honest, but diplomatic. I don't hold grudges, but I have a great memory. I have an amazing boyfriend who brings out the best in me, even from 1000 miles away. I am endlessly thankful for the incredible people in my life. My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Abe Lincoln.

Birth Control should be covered by insurance

This seems to be a controversial topic, but I'm here to say there is no reason for it to be one. People say insurance shouldn't cover birth control since it's a choice, it's not medicinal, and of cou...
