I am a 20 year old who just happens to enjoy having fun and hearing interesting stories! From time to time I have a few stories myself, sometimes I am borderline funny, and other times I just fail at life. XD Either way, I am who I am.

I'm pessimistic and Optimistic, I'm a bad speller that has a way with words, I want silence and noise at the same time, I'm jealous, angry, and loyal to the core, I don't like asking forgiveness, It's just become so second nature, I can't help myself.

I try to model my life after this quote:
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm just hanging in there from day to day! Currently I am working on an undergraduate degree in English (mind you, my spelling is still a work in progress from time to time) and just enjoying life! At school I am the president of a crafting club on campus, so I teach people how to knit and crochet and also make things myself (my latest projects are a knit scarf and a crocheted bag). I simply love making things and placing colors together! :)

I have a story that I've been working on these past few years, and I believe that perhaps this summer (or the upcoming finals week at my school) will grant me the time to begin actually fleshing out the plot a bit. I love writing, and the people have read the preceding editions have all had good things to say! So who knows? I try to keep optimistic about these things :)

After I finish working on my degree I'm planning on joining the Peace Corps.

I'm really good at telling stories, cheering people up, acting goofy around my friends, baking banana bread, and remembering random facts! :)

I'm not sure. Most people remark about my hair, but I also change the length/style of my hair more than anything else.

Favorite Books: The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Harry Potter Series, Blackwood Chronicles Series, Chronicles of Narnia, City of Bones, Xanth (extra points if you know this series!), 1984, Walden, The Phantom Tollbooth, and many others!! I'm always reading something haha :)

Movies: Casablanca, True Grit (original), Down Parascope, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Newsies, The Producers, Robbin Hood Men in Tights, and a lot of old black and white movies.

Shows: Bones, Psych, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, RuPaul's Drag Race, Faceoff, Storage Wars (it's an addiction), Big Bang Theory

Music: Jazz, Big Band, Swing though I listen to most types of music :) Music is kind of like air for me.

Food: Jambalaya or Alfredo. I know how to make a lot of Italian food, and I love baking and cooking for other people, so if ever you would like some food, just let me know! ;D

Family, Friends, Faith, Fine Literature, and Foliage ;D

Today is brought to you by the letter F :P

I spend a lot of time thinking about why people do what they do, and their triggers for certain behaviors. I also think about the weather (lame as that may sound) and what I can do in order to make someone who is having a difficult day smile.

hanging out with my roommates, working on some project for school, or out taking a walk around town! Every week differs but I'm always doing something!

I may or may not be slightly addicted to using parenthesis... :)

If you've come this far to my profile, do send me a message. I'm rather tired of having an empty inbox. :(
