How 'bout a revolution?

About Me

My name is Maggie. I have 5 names, but 2 don’t really count. It’s just because I’m Catholic. I just graduated from Glenwood High School where I was voted most outspoken and biggest procrastinator. That’s pretty true I guess. My best friend lives 150 miles away from me. I'm a swimmer and although I am terrible I am nonetheless proud. I am easily amused, especially by Chuck Norris jokes. When I go to concerts I like to stand on the handrails with my head thrown back, close my eyes, and sing at the top of my lungs. I live by my grandfather's words "forgive but don't forget". He was a smart man. I want to make a difference in the world. I give the best hugs. I think they're healing. I have an insatiable craving for quesadillas after 3 am. La Bamba usually helps me out there. I’m thinking about going to college, but the circus is looking a little more appealing to me at this point. Robby keeps me happy.Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™urban renewal.
