About Me

I think too much. I love life, even when its not that great. Make me laugh and make me laugh often please. I like board games. I love to sing even though I am really out of tune. I wish I had more free time. Sad that my sister has left me once again. I don't mind spending time by myself. I think its good to know a little bit about a lot of things.

My Interests

Getting in shape and getting out of school.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in getting together for a game night. Someone who opens my car door and lets me hold their arm. People who find silliness an endearing quality. People who take me seriously, but don't take life too seriously. Anyone who loves words and dictionaries. People with good jokes and can laugh at themselves and with me. Someone who wants to take a ride with no particular destination. People who can hold up their end of the conversation. People who want to do stuff, not just sit around, but don't have to go out all the time.

Crew is consuming my life

And I love it.  Rowing has become the most amazing thing to happen to me during college.  I only wish I had discovered it sooner.  Every day I wake up at 4ish to make it to a 5:30 ...
