About Me

so this is love... ♥
Put simply, I'm a rather easy-going and softspoken girl who tends to get louder in a concert atmosphere. It's not difficult to get along with me - keep your feet off of me and we'll get off on the right foot. (Pardon the double foot reference). Like any normal human being, I have a neverending list of guilty pleasures, those of which pertain mostly to music. Currently, Gwen Stefani and Fergie hold the top spots on my list. I also have quite a lengthy list of pet peeves, which include but are not limited to, mundane away messages, people who wear flip-flops during the winter, people who say "panties," noisy eaters, and being greeted in the morning by toothpaste globs in the bathroom sink.
I believe in love and honesty. I believe in second, even third, chances and I believe it's never too late to say you're sorry. I believe in the "impossible" and that thinking too much without taking action won't get you anywhere. I believe that you should never lose the little kid inside yourself.
I have an unhealthy obsession with 30 Seconds to Mars and Jack's Mannequin as well as an ongoing fascination for both England and New York.
Most of my days are spent listening to music, writing poetry and/or lyrics, and making memories with my friends when I'm not at work. I travel as much as possible and fall in love with a part of every new location I visit on most occasions. Trouble is, that makes it very difficult to decide where I want to begin the next chapter of my life. But for now, I'll let the music take me where it may.
P.S. if you dare to say anything negative about Andrew McMahon, you will cease to exist in my world.
