About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
I hail from the great state of New Hampshire, recently returned from a four year hiatus in Colorado. I am an Interior Designer, I am not a decorator. I am a make-out bandit extroadinaire, but not a slut. I am a democrat. I am a grammar and spelling elitist. I have a weakness for good beers and cursing like a sailor. I like to explore. I am an instigator. I don't like washing dishes. I get the hiccups when I drink soda. I pull on my eyebrows and stick out my tongue when I am concentrating. Laughter is my medicine. I am eccentric, ambitious and independent. I would always prefer being outside, especially when it is sunny. I am blessed with the most amazing friends in the world.
LOVES: my anti-smog device (bike). argyle. design magazines. smoky jazz bars. water that comes in interesting bottles. making out. my apple computer. lots of blankets. inspiration. colored pencils. citizens jeans. puddle jumping. cooking.
HATES: bathtubs. loud gum chewers. too much make-up. stepping in dogshit. my chair at work. louis vuitton charm bags. chameleon people. insecurity. 'i'll call you.' pink polos. racoons. jeans without butt pockets. attention starved humans.
