About Me


Well, I'm just another girl in the world, trying to make her mark.
I'm a New Englander, through and through.
Cape Cod is Heaven on earth.
Fall is my favorite season.
I am a writer at heart and a skeptic in reality.
I'm confident in myself, but not boastful. Well, maybe boastful after a margarita or two. (:
I hate misspelled words. Whenever I see one, I feel a jabbing sensation in my brain. Weird or what? Maybe I should have gone into copy-editing or something.
I love my friends. And, nothing is more important than love, trust, family, and hope.
Deep deep down... I'm a country girl.
If you're looking for me and can't find me, um, just keep looking!
PS I am dating the most wonderful man!! :)
My favorite poem:
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
~W.B. Yeats
