About Me

i am a simple girl, though not simple-minded. you will know right away if i like you or if i don't. i bruise easily. i am a clutz. i ramble. sensory overload is bliss.

i was born on the cusp of libra & scorpio, so i wonder sometimes if that alone creates a duality of sorts...though who follows that stuff (as opposed to it being novel) anyway?

and i believe in self-editing. i go through edits now and again and believe that change is good in the end. different experiences can have powerful effect on opinions and i am open to those possibilities. me and my man.
