I'm a 22 year old spastic ball of energy. My favorite thing in the world to do is to make someone else smile. I work for the time being in a hotel in Nashville TN, the town where I was born and raised. I love music and refer to Tower Records as "the candy store." My favorite genre is Texas alt-country. My nickname is Monkey and surprisingly, I really like that. I do however love to go to the bars and shoot darts, pool, and the shit with my friends. I graduated from Vanderbilt University this past May and whenever I have a problem or anything weighing on my mind, I can be found walking around on the beautiful campus because corny as it sounds, it calms my soul and helps me think clearer. Favorites: book - "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink and "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco; subject - History and Political Science; band - Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly; song - "Alabama" - Ragweed and "May Peace Find You Tonight" - Reckless; sport - baseball!!! though I also enjoy football quite a bit as well; baseball team(s) - Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles; city - London, England Cape Town, South Africa and Nashville, Tennessee; ice cream - cinnamon; season - winter, followed by summer; food - Mexican and Italian (I can eat either of those ANYTIME) Random Facts: I was a dancer for 16 years and can still hold my leg up to my head while standing. My friends tell me constantly to gain weight while my mother tells me to lose it - I compromise by eating everything in sight and not gaining anything. I love people more than anything in the world but sometimes I want nothing more than to curl up on my couch by myself. Text messaging is my preferred method of communication when not in person. I drink waaaaaayyyy too much Diet Coke. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. What I believe: That you should ALWAYS be yourself. Pretending is only for the stage, in real life, anyone who doesn't like you the way you are isn't meant to be in your life. You should never change who you are for anyone, but yourself. I believe that the most important gift you can give someone is a smile and your support. Knowing someone believes in you can make a life and death difference whether that someone knows it or not. Positive attitudes and enthusiasm are contagious as well as negativity. Which one would you rather catch?
