I am here for Friends

About Me

Let's see...I'm artistic, creative, hard-working, thoughtful, outgoing (sometimes shy), caring, honest, and trustworthy. I played the guitar for 7 years-need to find the motivation to get back into that. I love reading (John Sanford is amazing, especially the Prey series), driving, hanging out with friends and going on adventures. I'm a sucker for carnivals, amusement parks, camping, skiing and rock climbing. Usually a night involving cops is a good night. I think I'm pretty easy to get a long with. I love making new friends (but not Myspace creeps, I'm talkin' real life here kids). I tend to worry a lot. I love my friends to death and life would not be worth living without them. I love traveling (Italy, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Marten, St. Thomas, Panama, Costa Rica, and Canada as far as out of the U.S.) I've also been to many states here. I try and speak spanish, usually succeeding when I'm drunk. This is why I call myself spanish in a bottle. I'm studying abroad in Norwich, England next spring with Ali and Jen at UEA. I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese, wings, pizza, and most other types of food. My hidden talent is making balloon animals. I'm easily excited and entertained.Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts

Today

I got my MRI today. I asked my mom to go and she said she felt like staying home. I could think of a million words to call her, but I'll refraine. They told me I'll find out later next week. Hopefully...

You know you're special when...

You put up an alert for yourself on aim when you go idle or come back from being away.
