About Me


is it possible to be too goofy too often? probably, but i feel its my social responsibility to push that boundary and toe that line whenever possible. sure you end up on the wrong side of it sometimes, and get yelled at/given a mean look/or reprimanded in some other fashion... but whoever catches you is grinning on the inside. don't let them fool you. as i said to an old friend today, someone's gotta make sure the world's smiling. might as well be me. can't take life too seriously, because once it's up, well that's it. we're not here long enough to worry about spilled milk... and honey, it's ALL spilled milk.
your friends and family (the ones that act like your friends, not just people that share parts of your dna) are the most important things in your life. never forget that.
i like to cuddle, i don't have a favorite color - it depends on what i'm looking at and my mood, i get lonely just like everyone else, i will do ANYTHING for my closest friends, i like original non-cookiecutter tattoos, i overthink things, i like to fly kites, i don't like people who can't make up their minds, i don't like peopel who can't have fun without consuming chemicals, i honestly feel that the reuben sandwich was a stroke of genius that will never be topped, tiny dogs annoy me, big dogs make me grin, i'm geek, i'm a thesbian in my own head, i listen to powermetal and drive way too fast, i love being alive and can't wait to see what it throws at me next

nothing to see here. move along.

i used to keep a pretty reliable journal, and somehow now have lost that along the way.  my last attempts at blogging fell by the wayside pretty quickly.  in any case, if anyone's interested...
