About Me

Uh hmm... this is where I use some terrible adjectives to describe myself and then totally misrepresent who I am. I'll give it a try though...
I laugh too loud too often. I get uncomfortable when there is silence between two people but I love to be alone with my thoughts. I don't usually drive with the radio on unless something really crappy is going on in my life and I want to avoid it. I hate paying parking tickets (but the city of Tacoma loves me for it).
I am not a morning person. I will always choose the long way over the short-cut when it comes to driving. I only take ice cubes from the freezer in multiples of two unless it's from a bag (all bets are off at that point)I cannot brush my teeth with my left hand.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt until you give me a reason not to. After that, good luck. I don't act my age. I love my family and friends. I love wine. Sometimes the essence of a person can't be captured with a few words and colorful descriptors. Ask anyone who knows me, there's way to much to say.
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Straight edge is a thin edge Ive never teetered on

I am, by no means, punk rock.  I don't have any tattoos.  I don't have patches, safety pins, or an anarchy symbol on any of my clothes.  I don't like the Sex Pistols or the Ramones and ...

Yes... I am glad this blog is being categorized as Travel and Places. I've always thought myself to be more mature for my age.  When I was 15, everyone thought I was 18.  And when I finally ...

The day that has no rules

Snow days. It has always been a day of exemptions.  From the moment you wake up to the very last ounce of strenght you have, not a single regular, real-life rule applies.  Well, that's not t...

A little garlic behind the ears

I had never understood what my mom meant when she would tell me that "there just aren't enough hours in a day to get everything done."  It didn't make sense to me because I had the personal belie...
