About Me

I'm a simple girl at heart. I love summer cotton dresses and painting my toenails. Have you ever felt the wind blow a skirt around your legs? It feels soft, and light - like kisses from a feather. I love how hot and humid the Midwest becomes in the summer because it is such an invigorating contrast to the crisp and cool autumns that follow. It doesn't matter how rough life tries to be, I'll always find a way to end up on top. This is because I love. I love in every possible way I can. I always will.

My Interests

Berries that drip sweet juice down my chin; contagious laughter, satiating my curiosity; writing the stories of the world, creating a lush and satisfying life; gathering all my friends around and listening to their enjoyment; traveling to new places with secret alleys for me to explore; seeing what others usually don't see.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet you.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

I love what moves me.

Movies:

I'm an epic lover...read that whatever way you want.

Television:

The Office, Scrubs, Family Guy, Heroes

Books:

Sarah Addison Allen ("Garden Spells" and "The Sugar Queen") is probably one of my favorite authors right now. I have yet to read someone who captures the intuitive, magical, and spiritual essences of women so well.

Heroes:

Those who live with great love for others, and cultivate a life based on their true desires.

Where Do I Begin?

If there was this little guy somewhere, out there, who had this little joystick with a red ball on top (don't ask me WHY I imagine it like this) and he was sitting there in little red overalls (sideno...

Providence. Not Rhode Island.
