You're a Long Ways Away from the Place You Thought You'd Be By Now

About Me

With perfect time, in perfect melody, streaming sounds surround my strides. Love, I get so lost sometimes.Sing me a song of summertime. Of sweet release, and long goodbyes. Sing to me and I'm your's forever.
So, I'll be waiting--anticipating--just let me know.
I have a slight obsession with the History Channel, Reality TV Shows, the Discovery Channel (primarily Mike Rowe and his Dirty Jobs), Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, Music that I can dance to no matter how cheesy or horrible it might be, Wawa Lemonade Tea, the prospect of living in Los Angeles California this summer, Benjamin Gibbard and Chris Walla and their musical genius, Rachel Bilson and how one day she'll realize how much cooler I am than Adam Brody, the University of Pennsylvania and how I sometimes pretend I go there, my iPod, Apple Cider, beer and liquor that are out of my price range, reading the classics, Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, William Shakespeare (again, primarily the Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet -- 'eff all you naysayers, they're amazing), Romantic English poetry, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, quoting movies while my friends yell at me, the prospect of being just like Vince and Owen when I grow up, my roommates Matthew Schictman and Brian Alvarez, facebook, singing at the top of my lungs like I still do it on stage every weekend, looking at old pictures of my family, my family in general, all my friends from home and school that I don't see nearly enough, jeans, shirts with collars, plain colored t-shirts, tuna helper, Explosions in the Sky, fireworks, the Olympics, discussions revolving around religion, spending days in my room listening to records, making the perfect mix cd, the Philadelphia Eagles, and being the most romantic person you will ever meet. No lie.

My Interests

Romance. Frisbee. Dancing. Screaming. Singing. Shows. Writing. Dreaming. Crushing. Longing. Loving. Reading. Music, duh.

I'd like to meet:

A girl who I can make a mix cd of all our favorite love songs; one who would love it just as much as I did. My dove.

And...

Books:

British, Medieval and Renaissance Literature, Walt Whitman and the rest of American Literature. Anything really.

Heroes:



And the Big K himself.

Apparently, I'm Too Nice. And That's What's Holding Me Back in the World

I can't take it anymore. I hate every moment of it. I, for the last time, have listened to someone tell me that I'm 'too nice' and that, inevitably, that is my downfallromantically and worldly as wel...

Final Poetry Project (Help me pick which one I should read!!!)

In Remembrance of Countless Breathless Moments I am a burst of sunlight on the sand warming the beach the best I can; breathing in waves and beams. Counting the coast in rhythm and boast...
