... I like cherry cobbler. Dogs > Cats = Always & Forever.

I'm still (relatively) a newb to Austin... help me get to know the city! Also, if you know anyone rad and reliable who isn't a slob who needs a roommate ASAP, shoot me a message.

I don't like labels and believe you can fall in lust with anyone you find appealing. That said, I consider myself more so heteroflexible than anything else. Born in Chicago. Raised primarily in the Dirty South. Lived/stayed in 7 states, 4 countries. Spent the most time living in Lafayette, Louisiana but do not consider myself a Cajun (though I will make you a bomb-ass gumbo - why does every "Cajun" restaurant in Austin not know how to make a roux?). Avid wanderer. Concert/show fanatic. The Avett Brothers mean a lot to me. I've traveled to a few countries to see them. If you don't like them, we probably won't get along. I don't plan things for the long run because I'm realistic enough to know that plans change. I'm that type of person. Gypsy soul for life.

I'm also not looking for casual hookups. If I wanted that, I'd go get shitfaced at my favourite bar and take someone home.

cutting up. DIY projects cause I like to get crafty with my hands. meeting new ridiculous individuals. adjusting to living in Austin. learning how to build a healthier lifestyle through multiple shots of Jameson. finding creative ways to exercise. wanting to join Crossfit (if I ever rob a bank). going on hikes (even though you can't REALLY hike in Austin). trying to find roommates. going on late night drives because I can never sleep.

not sleeping. wearing my heart on my sleeve then cutting that sleeve the fuck off. couchsurfing. bluffing. being an absolute sweetheart.

verbal spewage. I speak my mind, which either scares people off or makes them unusually comfortable.

My musical brain is all over the place. It really just depends on where I am, what my mood is.

a bottle of Jameson (or rum or red wine), a good pillow, a good album, a good mind, a good conversation, and good cuddles if possible. I don't think much else is needed? Oh wait, my mom. She's rad.

“Always remember: you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

Max Bemis and Seth Avett.

different aspects of psychology. shaving my head. wondering how in the hell people allow themselves to get so fat they have to shop in the "Big & Tall" section. getting back outside of the US again. Wondering if I should move home to Louisiana (not New Orleans). escapism. wanderlust. Scotland.

Adriana Lima. If you look like her, please let me know... cause I wanna do you. I wanna do you hard.

the girl sitting next to you at the bar ordering shots for my friends, the girl in the front row at the show dancing around and screaming the lyrics at the top of her lungs, the girl comfortably at home, or the girl in the booth at a coffee shop reading a good book. I'm pretty well-rounded.

I'm not attracted to bisexual men. The only person sucking dick in this relationship should be me.

you are a POSITIVE proactive person... tired of all the Negative Nancy in this town. you actually have a personality. you aren't easily intimidated. you don't smoke. you take care of yourself (mentally/physically). you want a workout buddy. you can own up to your emotions. you handle things like a man. you know what the fuck you want and aren't afraid to go for it. you know Brazilian Portuguese and want to hold conversations so I can continue learning and confusing myself. you have an extra BMX that I can ride. you want to go skydiving, spelunking, canoeing. you want to take me on my first motorcycle ride. you want to go on adventures. you like to get fucking ridiculous.
