About Me

This is the story of Leigh. Official Punk Rock Princess of the ds[OCK]bp. Yayuh. I'm 24 and a student at Georgia State. My major is biology with a microbiology concentration and a chemistry minor. Its the hardest thing I've ever done and it kicks my butt every day, but I would never have it any other way. Speaking of the hardest things I'll ever do... When I'm done at State I plan on completing a PA program somewhere. I'd prefer Emory here in ATL, but I'm not against moving across the country, either. Right now I am a CPhT at CVS/pharmacy and I spend way too much time there for my liking. Have to make the $$$, though, so I can't complain too much. I'm complex, and I like it that way. I like to make people happy if I can, and I worry too much about whether people like me or not. I don't think I've met anyone so far that actually understands me, but I'm not sure I would like to be understood anyway. I have a lot of moments where I hate absolutely everything in my life, but its usually just stress and I get over them quickly. I love flowers of all kinds, they are truly the way to my heart. Well, flowers and diamonds, but let's keep this fairly inexpensive. I love surprises, but only if I don't know anything about them. My best friends are just that: THE BEST. They are better than your friends, and they always will be. Some I met 19 years ago, some I met 2 months ago, but I love them all with everything I have. They keep me (somewhat) sane, and I thank God every day for them. I also have a great boyfriend of almost six years. We have a lot of differences of opinion, but he's recently been showing me just how amazing he can be, and I find that life isn't the same without him. I'm pretty sure he's my future. (love you, weasel!) I might be the most stubborn person you'll ever meet. I don't like being wrong, and I *really* don't like *admitting* that I am wrong. I guess it's a good thing that that only happens occasionally. I chew gum probably 16 out of the 24 hours in a day, because I am totally addicted. I feel lost without it. I love going out and doing fun stuff, just not by myself. I don't like people who make excuses, either for their actions or for the actions of others. Sometimes I like to sleep a lot, other times I could go days without sleeping. I guess that's me in a (pretty big) nutshell.

My Interests

So I guess this is where I list all the things that I love. Here goes (in no particular order): ♥ breathing (most days) ♥ music ♥ God ♥ Georgia Tech sports ♥ fireworks ♥ high fives ♥ Clandestine Industries swag ♥ Voss ♥ flowers of all kinds ♥ Braves Baseball ♥ Guitar Hero ♥ shopping ♥ my family ♥ playing Mario Party ♥ scrapbooking ♥ money ♥ meeting random people that turn out to be super nice ♥ massages ♥ Stoli Vanil/Absolut Vanilia ♥ getting tattooed ♥ manis & pedis ♥ going to shows ♥ drawing ♥ Franziskaner (but not necessarily the memories that go along with it) ♥ flip-flops ♥ sarcasm ♥ being crafty ♥ Stephen's family ♥ tropical destinations ♥ jeans ♥ snuggling ♥ cute tote bags ♥ Andy the Super-Scot ♥ Baylee the Wonder Beagle ♥ diet cherry vanilla dr. pepper ♥ photography ♥ inside jokes ♥ tunic-length tops ♥ weddings ♥ good times in Millyvegas ♥ random t-shirts ♥ creme brulee ♥ Ralph Lauren Blue ♥ big kisses ♥ my BEST pals ♥ getting all dressed up ♥ snow, and LOTS of it ♥ The Varsity ♥ heels with jeans ♥ mini golf ♥ sleeping late ♥ Birthday Cake ice cream from Brusters ♥ going to the driving range (but ONLY with people who have LOTS of patience!) ♥ surprises ♥ presents ♥ sparkly things, preferably of the diamond variety ♥ being absolutely, completely head-over-heels in love ♥

A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard are amazing books that I wish everyone would read. And of course, Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like A Skank, because some people don't know that that's a *bad* thing.
