I am here for Friends

About Me

I hug trees… and climb them. If I see grass, I have overwhelming urges to lay in it. I do silly things, and laugh. I laugh at almost everything… and when I laugh hard enough, I snort. I speak my mind (when forced into the occasional dregs of substance-induced stupor). I make grand attempts never to be angry. My friends are my family, and vice versa. I like hugs to say “hello,” and kisses to say “goodbye.” I see everyone as equals. I like when people, even complete strangers, dole out wisdom from their own life experiences. I’m a sucker for storytelling, yet I’m horrible at it. I’m not very stylish or feminine. I like flannel... and in my book sandals and scarves are not mutually exclusive. My art is blunt. I sometimes use words that I didn’t even know I knew the meaning of. I like ellipses and run-on sentences… hence, anything I write is really long and convoluted. I’m optimistic and nostalgic. I’m horrible at any math past multiplication. I procrastinate. I’m not as active or outgoing as I’d like to be. I find love in animals and peace in the natural world. My favorite term of endearment is “goober.” I reuse the same nick-names for my friends as I do for my dogs. I believe finding oneself is a life-long process. Lastly, I come off much stronger and more defined on paper than in person…
