I'm intelligent, but i'm stubborn. I'm sweet and considerate, but I firmly believe in my own opinions. I'm often overly sensitive, but i'm intuitive and empathetic. I expect a ton from those I love, but I love with a passion that runs to the core of my being. I have high expectations for the world, but I put just as much into life as i'd like to get out of it. I hate it when people lie, but it makes me horribly sad that they feel they must.
I'm anti-dieting, pro-equal rights, anti-pollution, pro-therapy, anti-cashew nuts, pro-blogging, anti-limitations, pro-scattergories, anti-empty promises, and pro-recycling.
I'm fallible and sometimes I suck.
But sometimes I kick serious ass.

I'm in a Post-Bacc. Pre-Med program at Temple. Planning to enter med school Fall 2010!

the violin, teaching small children, overanalyzing, being obsessive about indie music, trying new things, school...

my eyes. they're kind of large. in a good way i think?

my dog, eyeliner, sleep, friends, people who care about me, annnnd stuff to keep me busy

my future, my past, my present...everything? (i'm a thinker type)

going to art shows, out to dinner, to the movies, staying in and making dinner, or studying

i used to have an eating disorder

I'm tired of only showing people who I think they want me to be instead of who I am. I'm tired of people hurting me and telling me things that aren't true. So if you have a problem with who I am, or if you think you might lie to me, i'm not a good candidate for your friendship.

But if you don't have a problem with who I am, and you won't lie? Well...i'd love to hit you up for coffee any day any time :)
