About Me


My band:
My life is spent

So far

Forgetting

That life should be spent

Enjoying just that

Instead of waiting for when

To smile

I have compiled a list of things that might give you a head-start in your failed attempts to figure me out. Enjoy~

I like cantaloupe. I love the classic Disney movies. I think opera is underrated. I hate people who aren't true to themselves. I'm really interested in psychology. I am a proud Sigma Chi. I'm the most approachable person in the world. There's nothing like going on tour. Friendship is really important to me, as is helping other people. I sing all the time. I still have a hole in my face from my old eyebrow piercing. I hate traffic. I don't eat healthy enough. I get really lonely at night. Music really is my life. I have an orbital in my ear. I think too much. I make amazing pecan pie and pasta sauce, which my mom calls "jonasauce." I have multiple tattoos. Sometimes vanilla is the best flavor. I moved my best friend to Colorado and I fly there a lot. I am always trying to find ways to better myself. I hate it when people spell my abbreviated name with an H. I am a good friend. I like Jack & Sprite on airplanes. I'm always down for shenanigans. I'm in a band. I'm anal when it comes to grammar and syntax. Some of my friends call me "Dr. Grill." I love my mom. I want more tattoos. I answer my phone at any hour. I love the smell of the forest in the morning. I'm addicted to "24." I really like birds. I wish I could wear my jean jacket more often. "If you are reading this, I love you" -HMM. First I wanted to be an actor, now I want to be a rockstar. I get hatemail, but don't get too bothered by it. The only way people learn is through the spreading of ideas in open discussion. I think that people should have reasons for what they think. I made sure to bring my stuffed animal with me to college, and everywhere I've moved since. I hate those who abuse children, or anyone for that matter. I am afraid of death. I appreciate all forms of art. Oftentimes I find my toes wiggling. I think I'm too skinny. I have an X hidden on my face for as long as I can remember. I'd like to enjoy more hot fudge sundaes. I write all the time. Whenever I cry, I yawn. Sometimes, I think we need to just let go. I like to stop and smell the roses. I love the way it feels when you're in a convertible and you drive on a long open highway on a warm day.
