everything can fall apart right into place.

About Me

This myspace was designed by Toby.
I like five o’clock shadows and bad jokes. I like music for the morning after and songs that fit my life (or will eventually). I like driving with the windows down, sunroof open, and heat on if necessary (RIP Sebring). I’m a solid combination of bitter and hopeful. I like arguing politics and discussing religion. I double major in psychology and sociology and minor in everything (and reveling). I like sitting in coffee shops and tipping baristas. I like watching musicians live and close up, whether it’s in small venues or one-on-one performances. I like fall (the noun, not the verb). I have a deep appreciation for correct grammar, as well as correct use of too/to/two and there/they're/their. I don't believe that a person has to go to/be in college to be intelligent or successful. There are so many ways to exist. I like waking up before the alarm and going back to sleep. It takes me a long time to get to the point. I like bubble tea. I like plugging the cd player into the outlet in my bathroom, even though it’s probably a fire hazard. I like high cheekbones and big, bright smiles. I like run-on sentences and punctuating (but not always capitalizing). I like singing in elevators and putting pennies face-up. I like tea and vitamin water. I like wandering organic and ethnic grocery stores. I love passion. I love my mom the psychologist and my dad the musician. I love honesty. I love reality and occasionally denying it. I love handing in an A+ paper. My friends keep me sane and make the downs tolerable. I carry my journal around with me and often misplace it. I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I’m always late – it’s part of my charm. I go to Central and truly love it. I’ve made bad decisions but I’m cashing in on the glory of my biggest mistakes. I’m witty and sarcastic. I hate when good humor is wasted on people who don’t appreciate it. I’m making a solid path towards becoming who I want to be. I have more motivation and drive than I even knew about.
"Happy unbirthday to a girl who is a million little things." -Mark, my former and beloved roomie.

My Interests

museums, politics/political activism, irony, school, driving aimlessly, genuine smiles, movies, neurosis, sociology, music, religion/theology, intensity, psychology, goals (realistic or otherwise), art, theatre, reading (for classes AND pleasure. i love it all), acoustic guitaring, piano playing, learning, traveling (day trips road trips plane trips...i can get by in italian and spanish, and i speak french borderline fluently. i want to see everything).

I'd like to meet:

People who read all of that. People who can teach me new things. People who live life for everything it has to offer and make me laugh until I can’t breathe.

Oh, and my dream man.

My parents are pretty amazing. Cliche as it sounds, they're everything I could have ever asked for.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite. pg 39, I believe.

Tonight one of my most favorite people in the world was sad, so at eleven p.m. with a nine thirty a.m. class, we set off to the beach.It was perfect. That's all.
