I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared

About Me


"Would you agree,
Times have changed"
Life is going alright...
I'm still a little kid in a lot of ways, but in others, I'm so adult it makes me want to die.
I'm in college. I write. I draw. I sing. I sew. I make things. I have no idea what to do with my life.
I make weird faces and use uncontrollable hand gestures when I talk... I don't talk much.
I like people best when they are completely not serious at all.
Pete Yorn and Elliott Smith =
I'm pretty sure that I'd die without music, as well as my dad. He is my hero in every possible way.
I love Michele more than you. Don't even try to argue, you will lose =)
I suck at relationships and I think I'm finally okay with just being on my own.
What else do you want to know?
"Now you can feel all the knots in your stomach,
They start to untie
And suddenly it's not so hard
To say you're alright"

My Interests

Writing, drawing, singing, photography, playing on swings, talking to myself, guys with long hair, water polo, stupid inside jokes with neat people, attention, hugs, dancing like an idiot when no one's looking, wasting time online, acting confused or offended even when I'm not at all, making jewelry/shirts/whatever, letting Michele dye my hair, pretending I'm cool...fun stuff like that.

Oh, and these guys too =)

And of course that's not everyone...

GEORGE WASHINGTON!

How To Be Emo =D

I'd like to meet:

Someone who will play on the swings with me and never think I'm being immature. Someone who doesn't mind that I don't say a lot. Someone who doesn't always let me be right, but never makes me feel like an idiot either. And when I find you... I will probably just punch you in the face or something.
