About Me

.. I am a good Mid-Western girl with a strong back and a head full of stars. Sometimes, I like to get a little ahead of myself. If I don't listen to Ryan Adams at least once a day, I find it hard to function. My favorite pastimes include (but are not limited to): chasing down rainbows, leaving charming out-going messages on my phone, hugging Lucy Bean, going dancing with my girls, walking around Evergreen Lake, painting my fingernails black, and flirting. I love music. I also, most likely, love you.

Divided Sky! You're peaceful and content, and would like nothing more than to run out and fly a kite on a nice summer day. Your personality is complex and has several different facets, but in general you just tend to be in a good mood, which is why everyone likes you so much.
