About Me

i sleep with two comforters on my bed. i love my curly hair. i eat oatmeal daily in attempt to lower my high cholesterol, and it appears to be working. i love to explore and observe. i can shake any bad mood by dancing to prince around my apartment. i love listening to people's stories. i over-analzye. i find naps incredibly comforting. i love laughing to the point of tears. i have an affinity for people/places/things/ideas with character. i don't eat meat or seafood. i love music, including country. i have a latent tv addict in me that arises when i'm in front of cable. i love eating scrumptious food with friends. i have no regrets because everything happens for a reason. i love making memories.
