Gradually, and then suddenly.

About Me

Hello, I'm Meg.
I'm [super] clumsy,
forgetful,
kinda funny (in a sarcastic way usually),
and pretty cute.
I'm somewhat of a professional student. I spent 2 and a half years at Kent State studying media design, then took some time off and spent a term studying photography at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Due to extenuating circumstances I'm not doing that anymore...so I'm taking advantage of this time to figure out what I really want to do with myself. Most people my age are graduating this year, but I don't let that get me down. I'm in no rush to get to any point in my life where I have everything figured out.
I met the love of my life completely by accident. He's amazing. I know it's pretty cliche to say things like that, but I'm pretty sure that he is the man I will be growing old with (and I never say things like that). We make a great team and he helps me be a better person everyday. I've never loved my life so much.
I most enjoy situations that inspire me to be creative. I've been writing a lot lately. I like to take pictures, paint, scrapbook...I believe at the very core of me is a creative soul.
I am a very heavy sleeper.
I ♥ roller coasters, sky diving and Starbucks.
Me, random? You could say so...
Misspelled words and grammatical errors (really) annoy me. I'm cursed with some perfectionist ticks that will probably never go away.
I am a complete cuddle-bug. Sleep next to me, and you will be spooned and/or groped and without covers in no time.
Right now I am working at a restaurant (quite a bit too). It's definitely not what I want to do the rest of my life, or for very long for that matter, but it's paying the bills now and I am content. Plus, it has introduced me to some pretty sweet people ♥.
I have more guy friends than girls.
I hate drama (and seem to have a way of repelling it - I swear I never know what is going on).
I never check my voicemail.
Want to know anything else? Just ask.
♥!
Meg

My Interests

Music:

Saying that I love music is an understatement. It is probably the only thing in the world that can relax me, inspire and motivate me, be completely fine when I scream with it, and pump me up when I'm getting ready to go out for the night. I enjoy all genres, but especially like alternative rock and acoustic stuff. And yes, if you give a guy a guitar, he instantly becomes more attractive :) Musical talent is so alluring. I would like to learn to play guitar, piano and cello myself. Concerts have to be one of my fave summer past-times and I'm sooo looking forward to this summer!

What's on my radio: The X, DVE, K-Rock, Kiss, Froggy/Y-108

There are still marks where your fist hit my window.They're less dirty, and they seem to defrost faster than anywhere else in my car.This emotion (or lack of one) is so crippling I'm too apatheti...

You are not a liar. I know what you saw and what it looked like. I know what I must have looked like, but the truth is not out there. You did not question anything before the rage surged through your ...
