About Me

i'm just a girl trying to live a life worth remembering. i live for the rushes of overwhelming love and inspiration. i believe that music can make anything beautiful. my friends are the reason my life makes sense. sometimes my heart doesn't feel big enough for all of the love i have for everything that makes me happy to be alive. that's when i know i must be living it right.

music lover. silence embracer. reads more maps than books. vegetarian. weekend warrior. spontaneous. passionate. laughs too much. va crew pwnster. always thinking. lover not a fighter. nostalgic. shopoholic. too forgiving. nocturnal. loyal. wishes at 11:11. cares too much. needs adventure. wants to make a difference.



"Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you." - Oscar Wilde

My Interests

laughter, roadtrips, films, my puppy, shopping, acoustic guitars, chapstick, museums, chicago, pianos, nail polish, reading, cities & skylines, color, penguins, photography, coffee table books, my sidekick, roller coasters, sleep, karma, magazines, endless summer days, poetry, pittsburgh sports teams, the sky, contemporary and modern art, warm weather, tv on dvd, sidewalk chalk, good conversations, and smiling until my face hurts.

I'd like to meet:


artists and art addicts. visionaries. someone who will lie with me for hours listening to jimmy eat world, and not because i want them to. and someone who will get me a pet penguin, of course.

and people who support the ecofriendly movement behind the charity i run with my friend marwan!

Music:

i don't really care that this section is obnoxiously long... i find all of these musicians to be pretty amazing in one way or another. whether i tattoo my body with their words or dance around my room to their songs, i think they all belong here.
