My Interests

ziploc bags, hot showers when it's cold outside, the smell and feel of shaving cream, watching sparrows, biking, blankets that are 100% cotton, the beach, singing my heart out at a show with my sister, drawing in class while bored, trying to draw unconventionally....writing in my journal, quiet times, having a good talk with someone, biking somewhere with a friend, sewing on hoodies and t-shirts so they fit me, making crafty things.

I'd like to meet:

People who mock another's beliefs annoy me to no end. They should be packed into a crate with friendly yet unsquishable earthworms and shipped on a bumpy train ride to the mouth of an inactive volcano and dumped in to ponder their misdeeds, while the earthworms clap and cheer.
