the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind...

About Me

Reluctant full-time archivist/music elitist/smartypants. I am a short, athletic brunette. I am a firm believer that everything in life is by chance and you can always change your destiny. I'd consider myself a work-in-constant progress. I am an avid concert goer, including too many countless shows of Ryan Adams, Matt Nathanson and Josh Ritter, with many more concerts left to explore. I'm very impulsive which gets me in a lot of trouble, but what is life without a little bit of trouble. ;) Miller Lite, boys with height and music are my kryptonite. I love to travel Europe and I speak my mind, so don't argue with me, unless it's politics. You win already. My favorite thing in the world is people watching and I love to make up incredible stories about the people I see and never meet. You might be next.
