About Me

Most people would describe me as tall; yes I'm the "tall friend" but if we can get past that not so minor detail, I would just as soon say that I'm verbose, intelligent, methodical, anal-retentive at times, creative, nerdy, loving, musically inclined, ever-so-occasionally retarded, relatively fashionable, goofy, dependable, gregarious, and despite being female: level-headed (har har).

WORD OF THE DAY
DASTARD [DAS-terd] (n) Originally this word referred to a dullard, dimwit or sot but in the 16th century it began to be used to mean "despicable coward," where it stands today.

Related words: dastardly, dastardliness

"The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves."
-Sophocles, Oedipus Rex

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
-Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"
