About Me

In one word: perfectionist. This trait is both my greatest strength and my biggest flaw. My favorite things: going to shows and concerts, the beach, pugs (random, I know), music esp. with piano or violin in it (I've played both), historical books and movies, ARCHAEOLOGY!, shoes, chocolate, cherry coke, italian food, summertime, the Smokey Mountains, and my friends of course. I found this layout design on PureLayouts.com - check out their MySpace Layouts .
