About Me

i love banjos accordians and the folks who play em, circus performers, polaroid pictures of items attached to the items themselves(look for em you'll find em), four leaf clovers, stain glass and glass artistry in general, music, sewing, books that keep you up all night, anything that gets me outside(hiking, bouldering, climbing,biking,rafting and the like),pirates,creators,captains of their own fate, people who live the storybook, hummus and cheese sandwiches, the beautiful maladies,the ironic tragedies, the people/things that inspire you to give up who you are for what you can become, conversations that last until morning, good wine, red boots, pretty dresses, tea time, good dye jobs, people who have something to teach and are willing to learn, philosophy and eastern theology, junk art, long naps and hugs, old movies, surprises, and being fearless about pursuing dreams and loves. I never carry an umbrella but, I love riddles about em..."what makes the rainbow?" I'm not afraid to ask a stranger what they REALLY think. I always have a book on me. I've been told that I cackle when I laugh. I think that people can be sources of infinite beauty and wisdom. On my journey I hope to be one and meet many. layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
