About Me

I love cupcakes. I love barefeet and people who don't get grossed out by them. I love to turn anything into a game, and any game into a competition. I love breakfast food at dinner time. I love dancing. I love music and when it forces me to smile, to turn it up, to move, to sing, to dance, to cry.I love athletes, musicians, intellectuals, hippies, club-hoppers, movie-lovers, concert-goers, artists, writers, show-offs, students and backpackers. I love the sun-dried sticky way my hair feels after a dip in the ocean. I love taking walks. I love the smell of jellybeans, rain, and sunscreen. I love lightening storms. I love boys who wear longsleeve tee shirts. I love trampolines. I love my summer sun freckles. I love hats and sunglasses - the more obnoxious the better. I love big dogs. I love museums. I love sushi. (cliché for a Japanese girl, eh?) I love singing in front of people.I love New York City, where I'm currently living (for the second time) to attend Brooklyn Law School. I loved living in Sydney and one day I'll go back to visit old friends in Australia and the world's best beaches. I loved living in the Carribbean and one day, I'll live on a beach again. I finally love DC after spending a year there after college. I miss some really fine people that I had to say goodbye to and leave in DC. They had better come see me in the Big Apple.I love smiling at strangers. I love listening to accents and people speaking other languages. I love airports and road trips and seeing new cities. I love comparing beaches. I love my brother and sister and being their middle sibling. I love driving with the windows down. I love frangipanis. I love people who say they can't dance but will try anyway. I love writing real letters and sending post cards when I travel. I love dressing up to go out. I love people who smile and mouth lyrics when they listen to their iPods in public. I love confidence. I love nighttime.

The hopeful always run out of air

Every day it gets worse. I get worse. There's nothing to distract me - No one to break my stare. Every night I sink further below the surface. I don't struggle or blink as the salt burns my eyes a...

I am

I'm smart, but not that witty. I'm sweet, but not that pretty. Rational, but defensive all the time. I'm strong, even when I'm scared. I'm alone, but I don't care. (If I ...

Lingerie - Party of One

It was a crappy day.  No one major thing made it a crappy day.  But it was nonetheless.  I woke up with a mosquito bite on my cheek!  It's itching like crazy and the idea of a mozz...

Never Say Never

You waited for me today.  It made my whole day seem worth waking up for.  You didn't have to. You don't have to do any of this.  You don't have to smile at me the way you do, or talk to...

I Jumped

Sometimes when you jump off a bridge, there is someone there to catch you and remind you that you were never really in any danger because they were never going to let you hit the w...

I realized tonight that I'm not brave.  Not even a little bit.  I always kinda thought I was a pretty tough girl who deals well with pain and challenges.  I will step up to an...
