About Me

As the song goes..."These are a few of my favorite things"...I love to be in another country, I love to be in a foreign place...not knowing anyone...just sitting down at a cafe or park and just watch the people go by. I love the smell of a new city or a new hotel/hostel. I love the excitement that I get when I get off of the plane and don't have a clue of what i am doing next. I love that at any given moment in a day i can think about Paris...the sounds, the smells, and most importantly the food...and a smile can come across my face. I love eating fried chicken down to the bone. I enjoy weekly visits to Piccadilly Cafeteria. I love random thoughts. I love to sleep in my dad's old t-shirts. I love to be in front of a big table of food. I love when my friends get together for a big meal. I love singing showtunes with Ashley. I love my family and friends. I love going out with my very best girlfriends and having a good time and ending the night with a stop at Taco Bell. I love knowing that I can talk to any one of my friends about absolutely anything. I love knowing that I am loved!!!!I HATE IGNORANCE. I hate the bumper stickers that read "marriage=one man + one woman"...I think that is retarded and extremely close minded. I feel sorry for the people that believe this!!! embed allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" src="http://widget-ac.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" enableJavaScript="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="site=widget-
