Just me

I am restrictively creative - I have a Mac and I love it – I’m never ever on time - my ancestors came from Sweden - I would jump in front of trains for my friends - the night's I can't remember were usually the best ones - I know that there is no love like that between a mother and a daughter - I am a procrastination expert - I don't know what career path I want to take - I knew more about life when I was 9 - I cannot seem to get excited about salads - I have a story for every occasion - I worship Dave Matthews like a god - I have a need for speed - my two favorite TV shows are Sex and the City and West Wing (figure that one out) - I'll eat anything if it's in soup broth - I never did understand Pig Latin - I wore glasses in kindergarten - I like tasteful tattoos - I still want to live on a farm for a year - I feel very strongly that Chuck Palahniuk is an underrated, overlooked, modern-day genius - retail therapy is a perfectly valid explanation - I'd rather walk on shards of glass than clean my room - I have slight addictions to the following: the internet, rice krispy treats, music, cell phones, orange juice and Italian food - I would say that canoli’s are my favorite treat, but I've only ever had 4 - if I could do one thing every day for the rest of my life it would be sky dive - I really don't like beer and I hate liquor, but I find it very hard to miss a social occasion - I believe that there will be a woman President in my lifetime - I live for romantic comedies, but Scarface was true cinematic glory - dogs are not my best friend - I hate coffee, but love espresso (also, it drives me nuts when people pronounce espresso with an X) – my favorite book was written before 1800 - I rarely call my friends by their real names - I have a very profound respect for stand up comedians - my favorite time of day is sunrise, although I've only been able to see it a few times, as I am in no way a morning person – I am a purest - I feel strongly that religion and politics are very private matters - I am very particular about my purse, but very non-particular about my outfit - the elderly are quite sadly overlooked in our culture - I'd rather be curvy than skinny – I will see the seven wonders of the world - I've never met someone I couldn't hold a conversation with - I hate my nose, but I would never change it - everything starts and ends with family, no matter which road you take – I can’t decide between snowy mountains and sunny beaches - I like politics but hate polititians - I find it very hard to accept that it's possible I could be working in a cubicle some day - I wish I knew more about football - I know that children are the future, but at this point I just find them unbelievably annoying - I can't spell, and I really don't care - I've made a lot of mistakes, but I am aware of them and am trying to learn from them regardless of what I say - everything is a work in progress - I want to learn another language before I die – I find jazz music soothing - I still haven't defined success - I hate the suburbs, although they have never done me wrong - respect is measured in miles traveled - poker is as fun as the people playing, not the money won - to whoever invented pizza, "I love you" – it is very important to me that I make my parents proud - I enjoy public speaking - I would spend my last five dollars on a tanning appointment - death is necessary for life - the simplest things are usually the most profound - I love chocolate, but never by itself - I'd rather be rich or poor, but not somewhere in the middle - I think the truest quote of all time is "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." - most of who I am I came by honestly - I want to be intimidating, but I realize that might be wishful thinking - half of the time, the promise of an afternoon nap is how I get out of bed in the morning - spontaneity is a very important characteristic - make-up is very much overrated - I only have one pace, and it's not a quick one - if you mean well by all, that's 90% of what matters - I have faith in myself - regret and jealousy are wasted emotions - I would rather burn out than fade away ---- I, like most people, am complex person and there are many things about myself I do not yet understand, but I feel that the point of life is to figure them out. At 22-years old, the most important lesson I have ever learned is that you have to be honest with yourself and good with what you find looking back at you in the mirror before you can be good with one other thing in the entire world.

This is me, and finally, I'm good with that.
