About me

Gender Female
Location Riverside, Ca
Introduction i'm simply complicated. i have a free spirit, with a structured soul. i have the tendency to talk with a midwestern accent that sometimes is borderline Bostonian. i'm an emotional hoarder, and unfortunately they dont offer help for that on the A&E show. i love to sing karaoke, and i'm terribly entertaining at it. i love books, but mostly for collection purposes... (i can always say "oh, i have that book", and people will just assume i've read it! ha!). i have an obnoxious cackle that i try to pass off as a laugh, but i'm proud of it! i envy girls that have the courage to dress in vintage clothing, but i think theres a fine line between cute and douchey. i love the wind. i'm fascinated with the very IDEA of someone being able to play a musical instrument, because i feel that its a skill beyond logical comprehension that involves letting yourself be very vulnerable, which i'm just not sure i'm capable of. i feel that above all things, love should be a priority. when i grow up, i want to sing like Adele, write like Walt Whitman, marry a Threadgoode, bake pies for a living, and live in Mayberry.
Interests family, socializing, wishing i worked at Dunder Mifflin, any movie or show that is set in or filmed in 1985 or earlier, starting books but never finishing them, sewing, crafting, painting, flea markets (though i NEVER get to go to them!), turning old things into new things, cooking, baking, yammering on about senseless things, reminiscing, looking at old photos, driving down country roads, taking the "scenic" route, giving people a tour of my home town over and over and OVER again... theres plenty more :)
