you make my tongue loose...i am hopeful, and stutter-free.

About Me

i am a rogue, and i love it. i may be femme, but i'm not prissy. i can still climb higher than you, get dirtier than you, burp louder than you and i have a filthier mouth than you...although i can guarantee you can drink me under the table. i'm a light weight. i'm a wine-o, as long as it's good wine and not shit. i find beauty in everything, except for spiders...which i hope to find beauty in someday...i love to dance, even if it's to the end credits music in a movie theater. smartasses, girls who drive trucks, gay boys, conversationalists, intellects, book nerds, bikers and computer geeks tickle my fancy. i think mullets are funny. curly mexi-mullets are even funnier. i'm a self-proclaimed "world's best hugger". i collect buddha statues with my sister, even though we are not buddhists. i think having a drive for success in profession and being self-confident is sexy, more than looks or clothes. working a desk job is boring, but my coworkers fix that for me every day. i am full of irony. i am my own entertainment...i constantly crack myself up. i don't candy coat anything. LIARS TURN ME OFF. i have nothing to hide. you shouldn't either. i like being sunny, not shady. i skateboard, and i suck. i love taking pics and having Leonardo sketch them for me. i have a weakness for abercrombie & fitch...it's my only shame. i have something giddy for girls with brown eyes. randomness and spontaneity are good qualities in a person. mad-libs and neil gaiman make me happy. puppies fighting with each other make me happy. singing songs from 80s hair bands obnoxiously loud while driving also makes me happy.br/
