About Me


i love God and knowing that there's someone much wiser than me in charge of my life, because i would surely screw it up if left on my own.
i admire most the people who are real, even if they aren't "perfect."
i am one of those people who listens to nearly every musical genre.
i write things in a planner and then never look at it again.
i still sing the alphabet song to myself when shelving books at work.
i am an indecisive perfectionist. which makes anything i do take a very, very long time.
i am a semi-health freak.
i wish i could swing dance better.
i buy many books that i never read, but i will read a book from the library within a week.
i own a fish named Gatsby.
i hope people stop saying "nucular" soon.
i wish i was bolder.
even though i have said all of these things about myself, my life still isn't about me. it's about Christ.
