About Me


"Death is the end of a life, not a relationship."--- Tuesdays with Morrie
"I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes. I thought you were gone, but now I know you're with me; you are the voice that whispers all I need to hear." -- 'Wanting Memories' by Ysaye M. Branwell
In East Hampton you can't wear red shoes on a Thursday, and all that sort of thing. I don't know if you know that -- I mean do you know that? It's a mean nasty Republican town."-- Grey Gardens
" Come, gentle night, — come, loving black brow'd night,
Give me my Romeo; and when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."

-- Juliet
" I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on the other. '

-- Macbeth
" This above all — to thine ownself be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
"
-- Polonius

My Interests

Theatre, choir, piano, culture, history, chemistry, wierd knowledge, current events, meeting new people, and the ever changing world of myspace.

I'd like to meet:

If you;

Read nonsensical, lyric poems
Break into song in shopping malls
Are great at making grass angels
Play connect the dots with stars
Skinny dip at midnight in hotel pools
Drink hot earl grey on cold days
Doodle on all of your notes and homework
Realize the difference between a stilletto and a pump
Think Daniel Radcliffe needs to come out
Dance until you can't sweat anymore
Change clothes four times before leaving the house
Eat Sonic's ice like a crack addict
Wash dishes just because you like hot water
Try to meet new people everyday
Don't mind trying things on and buying nothing

If you can start a conversation and never stop, even years later
Then consider yourself eligible.

Don't ask what the title means. It's Taiwanese and I have absolutely no idea what it means. I'm in a very good place right now. It's a homeostasis that I hope lasts for quite a while. A lot of rather ...

Keep it Going.

Sometimes it’s really hard to push on with life. You have to cut dead weight, lighten the load, and look to new horizons. I feel myself shedding this old skin. I feel myself growing. And yet goi...

Read Me.

I try to keep a blog so that I can look back and remember what happened when. There's a lot that has happened, so I should probably document it. First off, you might have noticed a new handsome f...

Narrate the Change

A few months ago (back in August) I wrote this paper on my 'political ideology'. I read it the other night and I was stunned that I actually wrote it. The whole paper spoke to me on a base level  I ...

Onward to the Coda~!

Let's just say that Evansville didn't work out. And we shall leave it at that. However disappointed I am, at the same time I am very relieved that I have one less choice to make. Now, MTSU and Memphis...
