About Me

i talk without thinking a whole lot... half the time i don't realize what i'm saying until it's out there already.
i have a friend that wants to carry a notebook when we go out to write down things i say.
i'm not really one for planning things.
i hate itineraries.
i like surprises but don't like being surprised.
i like to travel.
i like driving with the windows open unless it's snowing, raining, or below 50 degrees.
i like doing lots of things but i also like doing nothing.
i'm smarter than you think i am.
lately my life is starting to make me feel like i am in a sitcom.
i like to sleep till 5 more minutes.
i tend to run late, but i've been getting better.
i like music and am one of those people that will say they like "everything" when you ask what kind of music i like. but then if you were to name a song and who it's by, chances are i'll know it and be able to sing it.
i like to go with my gut.
sometimes i'm more honest than i should be.
i'm stubborn, which can be a bad thing, but it's gotten me where i am and kept me alive.
i like pictures, but hate pictures of me.
my family and friends come first and i owe them way more than they could ever know.
i want to eat pizza 5 times a day.
i act before thinking a lot.
i never want to wake up one morning with the feeling that i just let something pass by.
i'm motivated and lazy at the same time.
i'd be really good at making movie soundtracks because i can put music to anything and too many times when i hear a song, it reminds me of a time or place or a person. maybe i just need my own soundtrack.
i eat thanksgiving dinner counter-clockwise, one food at a time, but i'm not crazy.
i want 2 dogs: one will be a bull dog named nameless joe and the other will be a boston terrier named uncle sally. they will be very nice dogs.
i want to one day find a city like boston that has beach weather every day. then i would move there. and be a middle school english teacher.
for some reason whenever i walk into the 7-11 on the corner of washington and comm. ave, george michael is playing on the radio.
i want my life to resemble that dockers ad with the passing street cars and the guy and the girl and their eyes meet and they get off their respective trains to run to the other's train to only have the trains take off and then they find out that both of them just got off the trains because it was meant to be and then i'm sure that they lived happily ever after. except i'd like to think that there would be better pants involved in my version than dockers.
life is such a weird.
