just finished the sf marathon, boston i'm coming for you!

About Me

a lil about me...
i have an interesting spidey sense that seems to be 99.8% right. i dunno why, but it's taken me to a lot of places.. but has also led me into some unpleasant surprises. either way, i wouldn't trade it for the world. i also have a photographic memory and am ambidextrous. lastly, i hold chopsticks like a pencil and tend to end wordz with a 'z'.
ok enough about my oddities, but other personal traits strongly resemble the scorpio and horse in me... passionate, loyal, steadfast, driven, level headed, romantic, and well rounded.
i take pride in being open minded, and constantly testing what i can handle. i'm also not afraid of failure because that's the only true way to learn from mistakes.
