About Me

i frequently find myself suspended between an ideal and the way things really are. and it hurts sometimes. but, then again, "who hopes for what one already has? if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. in the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. and he who searches our heart knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him." aw. now that's comforting.

My Interests

i like reading. i'm taking up flying. i know way too much about. i don't know nearly enough about God. i like people. i like making people happy. i like people who spell things correctly/don't mind when i compulsively correct them.
