About Me

I like coffee, and drinking it in my underwear. I like history, literature, arguing and Detroit. I like snow, walking, working, stick shifts, wine, soccer, books, food, school, dirt, letters, kayaking, and Button making. I have experience baking pies. I like sheets. Bananas are disgusting.

My Interests

Words, photographs, writing letters, driving, autocross, upshifting quickly, roaming aimlessly, greasy spoon coffee and breakfast, using my powers for evil, dancing when no ones looking/i'm drunk, cleaning the house, debating, coffee too late at night, midnight movies, mustangs, not having a plan, reading everything in sight, high heels, watching snow, popping my gum, forgetting to do my homework, sneaking up on my little sister.

I'd like to meet:

you, usually.
