Blonde hair and curves do not diminish your IQ, however, they seem to diminish people's expectations

About Me

-A hyperbola of logic and illogicality. Mama is Tsalagi and Daddy is of European descent. Grew up in a happy home with 3 sibs and parents that are still married. A Pisces born in the year of the dragon; a dreamer and a goal-setter. Visually and linguistically creative. Far from perfect diction. An emotionally distant hopeless, yet hopeful, romantic; completely honest and loyal to a fault. Real emotions worn on the sleeve. "I'd rather have an uncomfortable moment than a fake moment". Nerdy, quirky, kooky, a bit cartoonish, and quite silly with a tendency to run into things and fall up stairs. Not that this stops her from wearing stilettos... or socks on hardwood floors. "The scars just add character"...Stubborn and argumentative, over analyzing everything. "Hyper-awareness is like a disease. I can't help it, I feel and see everything". Life is about making a change and affecting the world, not vanity and possessions...well, except for fabulous shoes..."I want to be challenged; mentally, physically and creatively fulfilled"...
Can burp on cue.
Those who should know more, do.
-A bona fide nerd of the fifth order. Summa Cum Laude In Cursu Honorum. That's right, bitches.

Music:

In the event of my demise
When my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I have lived for
