About Me

I daydream a lot. Probably more than I should. My life is full of only great things. My favorite thing to do is to help. Unfortunately, I suffer from a severe case of laziness and procrastination. I’m not everything I could be or all you want me to be. My family is my everything, even if we are different than you’d expect. I am always hungry, and that influences me a great deal. I transfer between universities because I can. I don’t take it for granted and I don’t mean to leave friends behind. I’m a rather simple person, and very easily entertained. I love to find sincerity, goofball-itis, and a kind heart in a person. I am quiet, and yes, you probably do intimidate me. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking my lack of conversation in some way implies snobbery. I love to shop, read, wander, and visit. I personally find change to be important in my life. I’m not a bad person, nor am I a great person. I’m just me, and I love that the people in my life accept that. Like I said, only great things.

My Interests

Laughing. Being happy. Helping. Learning. Animals. People. Good books. Good music. Traveling. New cultures. Food. Skydiving. Going on walks. Climbing. Board games. Friends. Movies. Theatre. Random facts. Colors. Surfing. History. Socks. Spontaneity. Science. Warm ocean water. String. Cowboy hats. Time. Flowers. Coffee. Stripes. Pictures. Trees.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can teach me something. Someone who can get me thinking. A person who can change my life. Somebody who has something to offer the world. Anyone who really knows who they are. Someone who can make me laugh so hard I come close to peeing my pants. A person who knows how to smile a real smile, and laugh a real laugh. Somebody who is sincerely happy.

This is disturbing: Oh, and that is not John Howard.

Music:

I like music when you can hear the singer's soul behind the words they're are singing. I like music when it's art, not entertainment. I like anything as long as it's sincere.

Movies:

I loves me some movies! For the most part, I can enjoy almost every movie I watch. Scary movies are the most exciting to watch, because even the biggest cheese of a movie will have me screaming and jumping onto the nearest person's lap. I love documentaries. Dramas are always good for the soul. You can't go wrong with a comedy, unless it's Ace Ventura, Anchorman, or the like. Basically, I dig movies. So let's watch one!

Television:

I don't have a tv, but I watch Grey's Anatomy whenever I can. I ♥ George O'Malley. :D I also love cartoons and the old 90's Nickelodeon shows.

Books:

I read. A lot. I'll read anything, and I'll read it in a day. I seem to lack the ability to put a book down once I open it. Some of my favorites are: You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers, The Promise by Chaim Potok, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, and loads of others I'll tell you about if you ever care to ask. I'm a fan of anything by Jane Goodall, science books (especially on people or animals), history, biographies, and everything else in between. If you have any recommendations, tell me.

Heroes:

Any person or animal that has ever taught me something is my hero. My family members are my heroes, my pets are my heroes, Einstein, Jane Goodall, and even animals in zoos are my heroes. I think I'd like to be a hero one day.

You won't read it.

Yes, it's long. I won't be surprised when you don't read it. And that's the problem. Don't you want to understand? Don't you want to help? Don't you care? "If I were cruel I would tell you of a mil...
