About Me

You want to know about me? How about you start with actually asking me instead of reading this MySpace profile, stalker! But seriously, I'm a pretty nice person (stop snickering, it's true)! I set off the silent alarms at art museums because I get too close to the paintings. I'm one of the most patient people you will ever meet. I am probably taller than you. I can throw a baseball like a boy and pick things up with my feet. I love my friends and family. I love fun. I love cheeseburgers, kissing, champagne (actually anything that has bubbles is a good thing), sledding, exploring new countries/cities, the NY Times, BBC America, nerdy art history things, celebrity gossip, holding hands, sunshine, the smell of old books, music, laughing, and rescuing stray animals. I have an incredibly high caffeine addiction. I get irritated when one of my roommates uses my "Special Coffee Cup." I dislike people that take themselves too seriously and can't take some good teasing (I am a master of "your mom" jokes). I also hate vegetables that come in a can (barf) and folding laundry. I rarely wear matching socks. I am afraid of spiders but I'm more than capable of killing them with my own shoe. That's about it. Oh yeah, don't try to read into this too much. Like I'm going to put my whole life out there on the internet. Seriously, my life is just too scandalous for THAT;)
