About Me


"May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house."

I am a 20 year old, travel enthusiast with a passion for old nintendo games. My whole life goal is to make enough money so I can become a vagabond and visit the places I have only read about in books. I have the uncanny ability to research one place and talk about it for weeks, much to the annoyance of my friends and family.
I am the Queen of Useless Facts, and I can find any situation to connect my knowledge to. Everyone needs to know that more people are killed by falling coconuts than by shark attacks in a year. This vast knowledge of all things useless has actually deemed useful in the past. :)
I am a big fan of music! Lyrics and tunes and guitar solos are all good things in my books, but don't ask me about band names. Unless it is blatently obvious or Silly Wrabbit/Sugarpuss I will not know who you are talking about. I know what I like and that's good enough for me.
My friends are a big deal. Everyone says this, I am sure, but it is a big part of who I am, and therefore important enough to be said (and emphasized with the crazy bold-typeface).
I have drawer full of paint sample chips from Home Depot.
I have an unhealthy obsession with Ryan Reynolds and Gerard Butler.
I don't eat the ends from pickles, and I can, and have consumed a whole jar in one sitting.
I am completely in love with tattoos. I only have one, but I have many plans for others!
I love to laugh, and have come to develop a throaty cackle that I very much enjoy! A good hard laugh feels just as exhilarating as a good long cry.
I have nothing else to say!
