About Me

"Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

My Interests

Sarcasm, existentialism, piercings, loving/loathing starbucks at the same time, the "getting to know you" phase, snowboarding, magic eye books, making twizzlers into straws, chain smoking, flip flops, people watching, pirates, themed parties, spontaneous road trips, proper use of "your" and "you're", brilliant juxtaposition of curse words, fun hats, high jinks, being a heretic, yo momma jokes, really awful reality television, vodka tonics, poetry, books that make your head spin, knowing every word to "we didn't start the fire", taking way too many pictures always, applying book/movie/music quotes to real life on a daily basis, feeling invincible, pyromania, people who are living and not just merely alive.
