About Me

I love music. I'm vegan. I hate the president and his band of ignorant fucks. My favorite color is brown. I hate girls that wear clothes that leave nothing to the imagination. I've been playing the violin since I was 10. My parents are awesome, I love them so much. My brother and his fiance are two of my best friends and their daughter is the smartest, most beautiful, and funniest 6 year old ever. I love going to the beach. I prefer listening to vinyl over cds. Dali is my favorite artist. My favorite smell is Fizzy Pop incense. I hate stupidity. I think that elephants are the most interesting animals because they have so many humanistic qualities. I wish I would have known my Grandpa more before he passed. I've lived in 3 states; Illinois, Virginia, and Texas. I love the smell of rain. I love to travel, but I want to go to Sweden more than anywhere else. I hate Madonna. I'm a very random and awkward person. My favorite beer is Killians Irish Red. I've seen Tilly and the Wall 4 times. I love camping. Euchre will always be my favorite card game. I love learning new things and meeting new people. I hate that we won't know what happens after we die until we die and see for ourselves. I love watching people run through the rain. I love taking long naps that when you wake up make the day feel really long and strange. I prefer green apples over red. I don't think I will ever find someone I laugh with more then my best friend, Stephanie...love you! I love my Neilie Poop too! I would love to work for an indie record label. I hate it when people think negatively about themselves, especially when I do it. Question everything and live for yourself because as someone recently told me, only you can make yourself happy. .... ....

It’s an end of an era.

I got new shoes. I've thrown out the slippers that have been a part of me since high school (well, not the same pair). I know it's tragic, but you need to contain yourself.

McSkillet

Yeah, it exists. It looks completely disgusting, but the McSkillet is an actual thing. I hope I'm not the only one that thinks that's funny.

Life lesson .23
