i think the most important thing you should know right now is that while i'm writing this i'm having a lord of the rings extended edition marathon and drinking a stone imperial russian stout.

i'm candice. i'm 24. and i'm a huge nerd.

i drink too much, smoke too much, and work too much. but it all balances itself in the end.

i also own a lot of black tshirts and grey sweaters. it's become the typical candice uniform.

working 2 jobs

using my culinary degree by baking delicious pastries out of my house [it's fancy]

sitting on my balcony enjoying a pbr or some new random beer i picked up and smoking a pack of benson & hedges

going to the bars across the street from my place and hanging out with my amazing friends in my amazing neighborhood [i'm a very lucky girl]

baking, quoting harry potter and lord of the rings, drinking large amounts of alcohol in a single sitting, knitting, being overly silly at times, attending art gallery openings, and not sleeping.

yes i know that's 7... i think you can handle that

beer, what pastries i can lace with alcohol, boyz that wear cardigans, where i can get pancakes from at this time of night, why buche tacos taste so fucking delicious, and why i'm still up at 130am updating my okcupid profile.

bar, adventures, bar adventures...

i only let friends bum cigarettes from me, and i'm kind of a bitch to anyone else that asks for one.

you're nerdy, low key, like drinking, don't take life too seriously, have your shit kind of together, and just like to have fun.

i'm not looking for any drama, i create enough of that myself.

and if you like crazy girls that wear ballet flats and have really nerdy tattoos, who will always bring you a pbr in the middle of the night if it will make you feel better or bake your mom her favorite cookies, then you might message me.
