About Me

oh you know....i try to be pretty fabulous in my own little way. i like dirt, sand, grass under my feet. i love surprises. i like taking care of people. im a writer. i like hippie dancing. i like beer gardens. i'm the self-appointed Holiday Enforcer. I care what other people think of me. i like buying presents. im attracted to intelligence, dirt, dredlocks, musicians, stutters, freckles, accents, jeans with flipflops, political inspirations, mystery, shyness. i get really nervous all the time and when i do i talk too much. i like making pillows by hand. i like that yawns are contagious. sometimes i forget to blow out candles or turn off the oven when i leave the house. i get parking tickets a lot. i dont drink enough water. im allergic to most fruits and vegetables. i hate talking on the phone. i buy myself flowers when im feeling blue. i like music, writing, confetti, wine, and frozen yogurt. i collect stickers from places ive been and put them on my guitar. im the oldest of seven. i cant sleep with socks on. i tried out for "the real world" to write an article. im scared of fish, birds, and horses. i love sneezing, waking up before my alarm and going back to sleep and calling it "sleeping in." i love texting everyone i know after midnight thursday through sunday night about how much i miss and love them. i have pretty pretty princess, fairy wings, a sleeping bag, a karaoke machine, 25 empty water bottles and mismatched pairs of shoes in my car. i stopped wearing underwear about four years ago, even though i made merciless fun of my high school boyfriend for doing the same. it takes me an hour to pick out a movie at blockbuster. im a craigslist addict. i dont have real conversations as much as i quote movies and sing songs. i like clean jokes. i like stand up comedy. sometimes i stay at home when everyone else is out and drink a glass of wine and read books under the covers. i painted my guitar with pastel flowers one day because my roommate was asleep and i needed a quiet activity. i like washing clothes by hand. i like hot cocoa mix in my coffee. and i guess thats pretty much me.
