I am here for Friends

About Me


Hi. I'm Aileen with a letter A + leen. More commonly known as Leen, Leeners, or Leenie.
If you know who I am, please feel free to add me. I'll add you back...eventually. I check this thing every once in an internet age, and if I happened to be myspace-smart enough to figure out how to disable comments, I would. It'd be better than having to check it for spam all the time. Send me letters. Directness is cool like that.
I know Jesus is the best friend I'll ever have.
I spend a lot of time laughing.
I listen to music at loud volumes.
I sing harmonies whether they're there or not.
I think loving friendships are to be taken seriously.
I enjoy sleepy, late-night phone calls.
I want to live my life helping others gain life.
I hope to soon have enough money for another tattoo.
I keep a kite in my car at all times.
I appreciate dorky craft projects.
I take pictures at the speed of light.
I believe that if you're too grown up to roll down large hills, you're not fun anymore.
I wish I could carry around my piano like people carry their guitars.
You're welcome to join me whenever you'd like. No joke.
