About Me

I grew up in the biggest, ugliest suburb in the world. I live here still, with my family. Home is where the family and friends are, I guess. I seek out honesty and reality in myself mostly, but in others as well. I'm a student. I am tall. I wore high heels for the first time in over two years on Halloween night. I'm Bohemian and so proud of it. I speak Czech. I love Czech cooking, literature, movies and beer. I like tattoos on boys and girls. I'm easily manipulated. If there is a quality I've learned to hate in people, its avoidance. I've started dying my hair black and I love it. I have a handful of TRUE friends that I appriciate. I both love and hate being by myself. I could lay on my bed for hours in silence, but sometimes cabin fever takes 5 minutes to kick in. I love to be outside. Music feeds and inspires me. I like to be around people that dream big.

Thank you...

Sometimes you'll hear something about yourself and gawk in disbelief over what somebody thinks of you. It fascinates me how each person in the world has a different perception of everybody...
