About Me


Hello I'm Stephanie Leigh
they call me anything but that usually.
im 17 years young.
i have dark brown eyes, and probably faster reflexes than you.
(no really! it's a darker-eyed trait.)
i stand at about 5"5
&& these days weigh in at about 115
im scary && damaged;;
but it makes me human.
someday you might love me for it.
you should probably know;
the most important thing in my life is my little sister,
even if she's having a "boycott stephanie" day.
I'm incredibly in love, with life that is, and getting all that I can out of it.
sleep and i might as well be strangers,
but sleep without dreams is a waste, so i s'pose it's a mutual separation.
i crave eloquence and tire quickly with less.
my newfound passion is triathlons and the months of training that come along with it. I love having a set routine that I know I must do daily in order to compete with others and make good race time.
im currently annoyed with organized religion
they are quick to judge
&even quicker to condemn
why can't everyone just learn to live, let live, love, &breathe?
let the record show, you're probably more important than me.
i live on coffee, literature, cereal, water and vitamins.
yes live.
it may not be smart, but i like it just fine.
lately my life has taken some dizzying turns
and everyone seems to know what exactly i should do.
i have some ideas, but i'm stubborn.
you can't help.
i may not have a step by step game plan
but my standards for "happy and successful" are different than yours. you'll just have to wait
patiently please?
you're welcome to watch
it will be a grand experiment
&&there's the very real possibility of a train wreck
in reality thats what most people enjoy watching anyways...
but watching is all you can ever do for me
this may not be alot for a self description
but for most of you even if we meet
(or have met)
this is as deep as you'll get.
that's not meant to be rude
im just ridiculously cautious over whom I let in
so chances are you'll never really know me...

My Interests



Just a few things that I love:
Keys, morning runs, scary movies, the fall season, beautiful people, crockpot cooking, driving with the windows down and the music turned up, taking care of people, 5K runs, the RIVER, optimists, training season (and their off days), WASHINGTON D.C., people who know what they want out of life(and therefore, strive for it), places I've never been, places I'll never be again, SOCCER, hot summer days and drunken summer nights, learning something new, NOT being from the South, Halloween, children, handwritten letters, correct grammer, hockey, staring at the stars, freckles, walls with alot to look at, happy people, airplane rides, when someone tells you it's going to be okay and you can trust them, getting away, traveling, blue eyes, being in love, taking long hot showers at night, when smell is linked to memory, dancing from too much champagne, backrubs (not too hard, but never too soft), budlight, roadtrips,
and going home

Movies:


"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me ... but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst ...
And then I remember ... to relax, and not try to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. Don't worry ... you will someday."

The Biggest Lie (well-said Chuck)

"Life is chock-full of lies, but the biggest lie is math. That's particularly clear in the discipline of probability, a field of study that's completely and wholly fake. When you truly get down to the...

Shock me.

I yearned for normalcy I ached for my life to slow down.I prayed for stability and consistency. It seems that I'm exactly where I've wanted to be. I'm somewhat content. and now I'm bored.   ...
