About Me


I am an awesome person, no matter what other people say. Things in life are beautiful and I enjoy every second of it.

I want to end up as a counselor for parents of deaf children. There aren't enough resources out there for hearing parents and many children go their entire lives without properly communicating with their parents. Most don't really get to know their parents until they reach adulthood or until their parents take the initiative and learn sign language or dedicate themselves to a form of communication.

My ideal date is in a bookstore. Just hours and hours reading, showing each other what kinds of things interest you, and finding out if you can stand to be sedentary with this person for long periods of time.

I believe abortion is a necessary evil. It is unfortunate to have to have circumstances where it is acceptable, but it is far more unfortunate for many more individuals to not have that option available.

I believe in gay rights, because humans are humans, period.

I believe that the string theory is a neat idea.

Happiness is free.

Being married is like getting to enjoy your favorite thing every day.

I like colors. A lot. So much that I dress in as many of them as possible so I can experience colors all around my day and share them with others.

My favorite quote from any movie is:

"It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much; my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life." -Lester Burnham, American Beauty
