I am the never-present. I'm always stuck somewhere between the past and future. Most of the time I'm a little bit crazy, though more and more I'm starting to think that goes hand in hand with being intelligent. I'm just trying to find my niche in this place and make a change for the better. I'm at a place in my life now where I'm not looking for someone I need or someone who needs me. I've been through that too many times and know that it doesn't make for a good relationship. I'm looking for someone who is complete on their own but wants to be with me anyway.

I'm an animal lover, a pescetarian, and an activist, but don't let that scare you. I'm passionate about what I believe to be right and wrong but I wont bite your head off just because you have a different opinion.

Ideally, I would like to save the world someday.

I'm currently at the tail end of my second year of pre-requisites for nursing school. My long-term plan is to either become a neonatal or pediatric nurse practitioner or a midwife. That being said, plans can and do change. In my spare time I can usually be found volunteering for a local animal rescue group. I'm very passionate about helping those (human and otherwise) who cannot help themselves.

I recently moved to Grand Prairie and will start nursing school in the spring. This year has been a gigantic clusterfuck to me and everyone I know, but life goes on.

Sarcasm. It's a defense mechanism that sometimes works too well.

Finishing people's sentences/finding that one word you were looking for.

Finding things that other people have lost (even though I can never keep track of my own belongings).

Writing inane bulls**t like this.

My eyes, and how quiet I am. I've also been told that I tend to look annoyed but really, that's just my face. Also, I'm bringing pasty back!

1. Sleep. I love to sleep (despite having wicked-bad insomnia.)
2. Music. It helps me cope with day-to-day life.
3. Good friends. They make the bad times more bearable.
4. Peanut butter.

The past and future.
Life.

The human body and all of its oddities.
Space and time.
Cultures outside my own.
People, how we relate and connect with one another, even though every one of us knows the eventual outcome.

Baking, watching movies, going out with friends, or just sitting around and talking.

When I was a kid I honestly believed I was from another planet.
