About Me


Hi.
It's hard to compile an entire identity into a few sentences. I hardly even know every side of myself... but you know, that's whats exciting. I just looked at my profile and realized it wasn't ME anymore. Over the course of the past year, I have changed immensely as a person-- life has tossed me into places Folsom could have never taken me-- in love and in loss, in fun and in sadness. But I firmly believe that when you're tested, you know what you're really made of... and what I have ended up as is a beautiful mess of a person figuring out where they stand in this grand scheme called life. I am passionate, above all things-- about people, about music, about being alive, about what I think and do. I'm openminded to everything life has to offer me. Unlike the pack of my friends, I took a year off to find myself before jumping into the college scene (which I have been ready for since I was about 12). What I'm realizing is that is a journey that never truly ends. So here I am today-- alert and embracing whatever is forthcoming.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The Keys to Your Heart


You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

I'd like to meet:

Really... anyone and everyone. People I know, people I don't, people who I know, but don't KNOW. Normally, I'm interested in people who know themselves, are confident, intelligent in their own way, passionate, spontaneous, excited about life, different, intriguing, and open for anything. But if that's not you, forget normalcy... just say hello and we'll see where we go from there.

Please send me a message if you're interested in getting to know me-- I don't really like when people add me without introducing themselves.

Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Umm... I'll stick to herbal teas
Chocolate or Vanilla: Vanilla-- 'cause if it's white, I probably relate
Do you Smoke: Hardy har, negative. Gross
Do you Swear: Very infrequently. Until I worked at Ettores, I never swore... but you slip and fall, or slam your fingers in enough registers, or burn your arms on enough panini grills, and suddenly a new vocabulary is born
Do you Sing: Do I ever NOT sing would be a more appropriate pregunta
Have you Been in Love: Most definitely
Do you want to go to College: I am enrolled at present (wooo)
Do you want to get Married: If/when I find the person who I can't seem to live without
Do you believe in yourself: Yes. If I don't, who will?

In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: Every day in my bathtub, baby
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Just a few innocent hoodlums v-cards. Haha. Kidding... no, the best things in life may be free, but that doesn't mean I'm going to steal what's not
