About Me

"IT WAS CHILLING TO REALIZE THAT THE SENTIMENTAL QUALITIES MOST VALUED BETWEEN PEOPLE, LIKE LOYALTY, CONSTANCY AND AFFECTION, ARE THE ONES MOST LIKELY TO IMPEDE CHANGE."
-Ted Simon
"WE DO SURVIVE EVERY MOMENT, AFTER ALL, EXCEPT THE LAST ONE."
-John Updike
"WHAT I MOST WANT IS TO SPRING OUT OF THIS PERSONALITY, THEN TO SIT APART FROM THAT LEAPING. I'VE LIVED TOO LONG WHERE I CAN BE REACHED."
-Rumi
PLANS, MARRIAGES AND JOURNEYS APPEAR TO ME JUST AS FOOLISH AS IF SOMEONE FALLING OUT OF A WINDOW WERE TO HOPE TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE OCCUPANTS OF THE ROOM BEFORE WHICH HE PASSES."
-Jean Cocteau
MANY PEOPLE'S SENSE OF WORTH, THE VALUE THEY PLACE ON THE IMAGE OF THE SELF, IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH THEY ARE IN CONTROL, WHICH MEANS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SELF-IMAGE, BECAUSE THEY ARE IN CONTROL OF SO LITTLE."
-Edward Hall
"AT MY SIDE ONLY DISTANCES."
-Antonio Porchia
"EVERYTHING IS A MIRACLE. WE JUST HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IT.
-Federico Fellini
what can i say? i'm me
i would live in the snow for this guy...

...and manny knows what it truly means for me say that :)
things like this will make me laugh for hours...
i'm really just a huge dork...i love laughing at stupid things, and goofing around with friends, i'm extremely down to earth, i hate drama and don't really have tolerance for high maintainance people, i wanna be able to take things light heartedly, i try not to sweat the small stuff in life, i really don't care what other people think of me when it comes to doing what's "cool", i can't dance, i don't "club", i lack coordination, and i like country music. i'm not really big on using this thing to meet new people...i'm just here to keep in contact with old friends. however, if you don't know me and you wanna send me a message, i'll talk to you, but don't be hurt if i choose not to accept your friends request...i like to know my friends first.
