I am a lover and a fighter. I am a huge fan of laughing and learning, but I need to make more time for both. I have an unhealthy addiction to 19th century photography (yeah i have over 500.... so that's where all my money goes!). My friends say it's nerdy but I don't care. I am in love with old and new books, middle aged books, red ones, good ones, bad ones. Any kind of book really! My life is messy, but in a good way. I try to keep things simple, and remember the golden rule. I speak before I think and that gets me into trouble sometimes. When I get nervous I talk like an idiot and forget things I usually know. My smile is slightly crooked even after 3 years of braces. All my friends say I wear my emotions on my sleeves, but I think it's better that way. Get em out, move on. I am a terrible driver. But at least I know it. I have a hard time staying still. I love being around new people! I don't have a favorite color, I like them all. I don't have a favorite song, because it changes by the day. I get up way too early, and go to bed way too late. Insomnia runs in my family (on my father's side). I love: sunsets on rooftops, anything with honey, roadtrips, reading, autumn, my best friends, down comforters, scrabble, and two people conversations. I don't like: intolerance, unsweet tea (aka dirty water), insincerity, white chocolate, red wine teeth, bugs, attitudes, and the dark. the best advice ever given to me: "Don't hesitate.""Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."-- Mark Twain
