About Me

I suggest reading the part of my profile that describes my interests. If that is too difficult for you I will try to help out. But if a list is too tricky for you I bet a paragraph won't be much better.
I am a lawstudent trying to make the most of it. I take school seriously but I know when it is time to put the books down and just walk away. Basically the "work hard, play hard" cliche. But the work hard is kind of a stretch most days.
I am used to sharing and am not really aware of personal space, I blame this on the fact that I had to share a womb.
I tend to laugh loudly when others would try not to. Tact is hit or miss with me and modesty is pretty much out the window. I tend to go on and on but if you really need to say something I will let you.
I sleep 5 to 6 hours a night and get most of my caffine through tea and I don't like sugary stuff. I make really good bean dip and if you ask I will probably make it for you as long as you are willing to share it with me.
I love my parents so much I moved back in with them, or I am a broke law student, you decide. Sarcasm comes as easily as breathing. When I don't have to do anything I usually will stay in my pjs then when I find something to do I will shower.
I named my car because she is lovely and I spend enough time with her that she needed a name. Her name is Wanda she is not a looker but she gets the job done.
I used to have long hair. I have had short hair for a year and have since realized that a lot of people equate sex with length of hair. People can be stupid. I understand I have a boys name and short hair but neither of those things make a penis.
I get scared of big dogs, I don't know why, wait I do I don't want my face to get eaten. I deal with a lot of big dogs as I live in the suburbs. I try to avoid spending anytime in them (suburbs,also big dogs). Not because I think I am too cool but because I can't find anything other than work out to do there.
Basically I just enjoy every day because I haven't heard a good enough reason not to.
