I'm blunt, opinionated, loud, witty, strong, compassionate, too sarcastic, an idealist and a cynic. I have walked many paths in my short life but have found that in the end everything works itself out. I am grateful for the past only because it has made me who I am today, without it I do not know where I would be.

I want to go barefoot 24/7, start a magazine, write a book, live by the beach, swim daily, laugh often, love, have my own studio, travel the world, visit family, volunteer, learn to be selfless, listen to more music, go to more concerts, be more active in social causes, create art daily, sit in the sunshine, smell flowers, pet my cat, have a perfect moment daily, watercolor, dance in public, face my fears, let my heart be broken, tell others how I feel more often, ride a motorcycle, take a glass blowing class, look up as many random facts as possible, move to Chicago or NYC after college, age gracefully, start composting, live more eco friendly, not wear makeup on my day off, own a smart car, live outside of the US, develop some sort of eye hand coordination, remember how to play the piano and read sheet music, love my body for what it is not what society thinks it should be, fill my vocabulary with large words so I can act like I know everything, nerd out, and stare up at the stars often.

After much contemplation I decided to change my major from Fine Arts/ Graphic Design to Journalism with a co major in women's studies. I am starting at Wayne State Fall of 09

Creativity has been my escape from everyday life that has turned into my passion. It drives me to my goals and gives me room to find new ideas. I love to go out and find things that help my creative process along. Bright colors and clean edges.

Music:
It really depends on my mood, from DMB to Adele, The Gossip to Ray LaMontagne.

Art, family, my car, paper, E-6000, and X-acto blades.

Wrapped up in a book, watercolor painting, creating a shadowbox, going to the movies, or at a bar. It all just depends.

Your comfortable with a girl that can have an intelligent conversation with you.
