About Me

I...

make fantastic blueberry bread pudding
like rainy days as much as sunny ones
cry sometimes when i watch the news
like to eat with my hands
talk to strangers as often as possible
own too many black shirts
prefer classic to modern
like to have all four windows down with the heat on
believe in miracles
love to sing in the shower
want to have lots of kids someday
hope to read every book in the library
don't drink enough water
love to cook for my friends
am competitive
trust wooden ladders and bridges more than metal ones
like the way my hair looks wet better than dry
sleep with the covers over my head
wish i had a garden
paint my living room when i'm bored
love the smell of burning wood
miss my grandma a lot
don't like the way popcorn squeeks sometimes
like lots of space when i'm sleeping
am horrible at remembering birthdays
don't mind working hard
prefer plain to fancy
respect people who stand by their choices
take a whole week to read the sunday times
forgive easily but never forget
dance in my living room to salsa when i'm happy
love surprises
live for nights with shooting stars
like to be carried around
drive to atlantic highlands and back when i'm upset
love reading between the lines
only capitalize and punctuate when forced
am a lazy perfectionist
prefer charm to money
obsess about the craziest things
am really bad at telling jokes
haven't seen alaska or hawaii yet
get dizzy in jacuzzis
love sleeping outside
can read and write but don't do either often enough
wish i spent more time in the city
