About Me

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.~Cynthia HeimelAT FIRST THIS SOUNDED JUST RIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT I LIVED THIS PHILOSOPHY, BUT ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS ALL THIS CRAP IS JUST THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PERSONA THAT AT TIMES MAY APPEAR TO BE ME, BUT ALAS, I'M TOO DIFFICULT AND MOODY FOR ALL THIS BUBBLEGUM AND COLORED GLASS. If you want to know me, read the blog. It's easier to digest and hits mainly the highlights anyway.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The fearless and unfickle. The Soft Warrior,the generous of spirit, the empathetic charismatic,the tongue of flame speaker, the courageously hopeful, the relentless righteous,and the sleepless dreamers.

Caught Naked

Yeah, it's true. Here's the deal. I have insomnia. The other morning (mid morningish) I pushed back my starry sleep mask from one eye and grumbled at the sun sneaking through the curtains. At that ver...
