Does anyone else love that song in the Old Navy commercial?!?!? It's the reason I watch the 7 o'cloc

About Me



I live a life of whim. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, though I let it wrinkle at times. Those that know me have discovered that under my seeming randominity, I'm somewhat predictable. I care a lot about people & the world, and my family & friends know they are my source of happiness.

My Interests

Whiskey-drinking, Thesaurus-whorin', Scrabble-winnin', Sleepy-mornin', Loud-laughin', Picture-takin', Sunset-watchin', Friend-makin', Bar-hoppin', Street-speedin', Crazy-dancin', Family-needin' type of girl! (You like this, S???)

I'd like to meet:

I like genuine good-hearted people. If I know you or have met you at some point (at school, on the street, in a bar, in a bathroom stall perhaps, whatever!), just write me a mssg! :)

"Oh the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away." - Dinah Craik, 1859

"Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love,he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality" -Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when one discovers that someone else believes in him enough and is willing to trust him with his friendship." -Emerson

Music:

I like it all, within reason. I love good songwriters, I'm a lyrics person.

Movies:

A historical, documentary, biography, "based on a true story" type of film is what I like. Comedies, Chick flicks, & Action movies, I love. Scary movies, I don't.

Television:

Don't own a TV. I find ways to enjoy Grey's Anatomy, Golden Girls, most Sex & The City episodes, some Friends episodes, most episodes of L- Word, Mythbusters, GlobeTrekker (Oh my, that Megan McCormick! gosh).

Books:

Truth. I like mostly non-fiction w/ an autobio, bio, historical, or philo basis. UHHH, well... hmmm, right now i'm reading Harry Potter. HAHA. Only on book 2 & so far, so good.

Heroes:

My beautiful grandmothers, Daisy and Rose.
