About Me

In sixth grade someone told me that I'm book smart, but I don't have any common sense. I sometimes find myself driving down the highway listening to NPR or singing with my car in third gear. I taught myself how to drive stick on the day I bought a manual car and had to drive it home from the next town over. The person who does reiki on me says there's a lot of activity in my head, but I'm not grounded. My dad thinks I would be great at golf because of what he perceives to be good coordination and concentration. The thing is, I've always had a deep-seated aversion to the game of golf. - .
