About Me

Lover of art, music, laughing, coffee, deep conversations, meanings, nature, life, adventures, coincidences. I love symmetry but fascinated by the idea of randomness. I believe in the paranormal. I can't stand when PeOpLe TyPe lIkE ThIs. I'm interested in the thin line between craft and art. I don't believe the answer to everything is God. I think M&M's taste better when they've been exposed to air. Fall is my favorite, and tends to make me sad. The smell of plastic reminds me of my childhood. I like sexual innuendos. I believe it's okay to laugh at yourself, I do it all the time. I sew. I am extremely amazed with the sea and its contents though going in it terrifies me. I care. I think the properties of jello are amazing. I create. Sometimes I wish I didn't care.
