About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I LOVE green arrows when I'm driving. Hot, sunny days. Walking on the shore of Lake Michigan in the morning. The trees that make a canopy over the road that I live on. The "swish" sound a net makes when a basketball goes through it perfectly. The feeling I get after a hard workout. Recalling a funny memory and laughing out loud to myself. Seeing "1 unread message" on my cell phone. Hearing the ice cream truck driving by (I don't why...I never get anything). The rush of excitement I feel when I'm walking through the airport to my terminal. Buying things no one else has. The name Tristan. The taste that completely overwhelms me when I put a piece of Vosges Red Fire Chocolate in my mouth and let it melt (what IS it with girls and chocolate? seriously). Memory foam. Payday (not the candybar). Breakfast. Pink Lady Apples. Someone giving me a big, huge hug for no reason. An out-of-the-blue compliment. Grande light mocha frappacinos. The way my mom responds when I call her. My family that I absolutely adore and could never live without.
