About Me

I'm another 23 year old student in Okc... going to school for Graphic Design.
Likes: Eccentrics. Designing and Illustrating. Doing this while listening to really good music. Fluffy down comforters. Good design. Being a health nut. Sudoku. Flirting. Road trips. Shoulder rubs (receiving them). Typography. Redheads. Mysterious Oklahoma dirt roads. Exacto knives. Collecting vintage post cards. People who make their own fun. Photography. Professors who push me to be better. People who are not only ok with me being a little crazy and neurotic, but appreciate it.
Hates: Social climbers. Cowardice. Assumptions. Bullshit Excuses. Dishonesty. Pretention. People who can't say things to my face. Irrational thinking and beliefs (Religion). Ignorance. Intolerance. People who can't just shut the fuck up for a second and listen. Small talk. Arrogance (unless its charming, sometimes it can be). Traditional gender roles.
