About Me


I…
Believe positive energy goes a long way
Think I’d try anything at least once
Have gotten in the habit of never leaving the house without a book
Love the cool color scheme
Am always three years behind or ahead of any trend
Hate wire hangers
Would take watching a sunrise/set over an extravagant party any day of the week
Believe everything happens for a reason
Am fascinated with angels and dragons
Collect snow globes
Love when my friends kidnap me
Am a constant contradiction
Believe we’re all actors in God’s soap opera
Like intellectual stimulation
Think my power animal is a polar bear
Accept that I don’t KNOW anything
Like saying words that end in the long e sound
Have just begun to appreciate caffeine
Am always up for an adventure
Have a thing for pirates
Listen to Christmas music sporadically throughout the year
Appreciate my friends
Believe in honesty, even if it hurts
Never really cared for Disney movies
Am contemplating the advantages of having a car
Can’t stand when I have to go shopping for jeans or shoes
Sleep best when it’s raining
Name my teddy bears
Like presents that have thought and love put in them
Have a thing for Aussie bands
Celebrate dia de los muertos more than any other holiday
Don’t eat red meat
Always take pictures of the first snow of the season
Can’t get enough good hugs
Think dollar stores are amazing
Am a nature girl
Love flowers, especially colored roses
Don’t think I’ve seen enough movies
Believe in the power of energy
Am a hopeless romantic and a realist with dreams
Think most drama can be avoided by saying what you mean and meaning what you say
Don’t like society’s dependence on technology
Am addicted to gum
Believe there’s always an exception to any rule
"The only rules that matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do." -Captain Jack Sparrow
