About Me

Mhm, I go to Red Cross Nordic United World College. Yes, that is in Norway and yes, I am an American, and a happy one at that. I tend to be a lot to handle and there are few people in my life that I've found that either neutralize or match my extremeness. I adore those people more than anything. I love my family and miss them every day. I think grace and dignity are undervalued and that those two things can get you pretty far in life. I'm happy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it...but some people, as far as your senses are concerned, just feel like home."-High Fidelity

Music:

Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Sufjan Stevens, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., The Libertines, The Beatles, Oasis, The Fray, The Killers, Pearl Jam, Mana`. Good shit, the end.

Books:

Things that are worthwhile, well-written, and well-thought out. Nothing shitty. Jared Diamond's stuff. Beyond the Earth and Sky. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Heroes:

John Keats, Chris Martin, Tom Abercrombie (of National Geographic), Masuru Emoto, my mommy and daddy (honestly), and anyone else who works to create beauty or change in the world.

change

No one ever really expects change. One day though, you realize that your ship is sinking, that there is nothing you can do to stop your life as you know it from slipping out from underneath you. We al...
