About Me

11/01/2005:
honestly speaking, between you and me, if i had a choice, i would be on a road trip going 'cross country with good friends, a cute golden retriever named henry, and a crumpled map. it's too easy to say, 'all i want in the world is peace on earth and cheap gas,' so i make things complicated. i chose to stay in this wee little land called delaware to further my human services career at the Y, but not yet sure of where i want to end up. if i could, i'd pamper myself with sushi, good smelling things, and fantastically written unheard of music from unheard of artists. i could stare at autumn forever and ever if i didn't have to pay these 'bills' and 'taxes' and 'rent.' and speaking of the latter, my obsession with the musical makes my best friend roll eyes at me.

I'd like to meet:

robin of 'the robin byrd' show (i'm just fascinated, that's all:) ), sushi lovers everywhere, rabbit pet parents, the creator of pillow top and ultra pillow top mattresses, enthusiastic music enthusiasts, dark and milk chocolate fans (not really white chocolate) and friends' parents. i'm curious to see the creators of such insane people i love so much.
