About Me

Right now I'm doing a little experiment called a ManFast. Or a dating detox. I also am finally taking that writing class that I've been meaning to take for like a year. And... I'm satisfying my wanderlust by going to England in less than a month! woo hoo!This is this paragraph that is on this pair of shoes I own: Choose life. Choose positivity. Choose the golden rule. Choose to be at peace with yourself. Choose salvation. Choose to make a difference. Choose to be different. Choose to be a diva. Choose to be funky. Choose to be yourself. Choose to create a fashion statement.

The workers at the Chipotle by my parents' house used to say to me "See you tomorrow". Seriously.

Also, Facebook sucks, but I am on there now... one more addiction... awesome.

I'm pretty sure I am turning into Pam from The Office...
