This is who I really am. No lies, no hiding. Just me fresh and real.

That's What Makes You Beautiful

There is no exquisite beauty... without some strangeness in the proportion. 
                      Edgar Allan Poe



As much as I try to hide it, I'm a tomboy at heart. And I actually pride myself in that. 

I'm a female; I have mood swings that could make The Hulk quake.

My favorite part of the summer is having the freedom to read whatever books I like. I've devoured two in the last week.

When I'm in a good mood, I dance around the house. Or make monkey noises. I can't help it, I get it from my mom.

I'm very particular about the way dishes are loaded into the dishwasher. After many years of being forced to do them at home, I've gotten pretty efficient at it. Seeing a poorly-loaded dishwasher is like nails scratching on a chalkboard to me.

I used to be embarrassed by my dad talking to every random stranger when we went to United, Auto Zone, Home Depot, etc. But now, I do the same. I like to think that our little conversation may have put the only smile on that person's face that day. 

I love complimenting strangers. Absolutely LOVE IT

I'm probably the clumsiest person you'll ever meet. I have countless scars from the random blunders I find myself in.

Nothing plucks my nerves like having to sit through a dinner with someone smacking.

When I'm sad about something, I tend to wallow. I listen to sad music, cry, paint or write, lay in bed, and eat ice cream until I feel like smiling again.

If I feel comfortable enough to give you hell,  I'm probably pretty fond of you.

I hate watching awkward moments on TV or in a movie. I literally cover my ears so that I don't have to listen to it.


The most attractive quality someone can have is the ability to be weird and crazy with me. 

I have a terrible habit of drunk texting people. Most of my confessions and angry rants have played out due to too much liquid courage.

I like blatant honesty. If you like me, tell me. If you don't like me, tell me. Confusion and mixed signals just piss me off, so chances are I'll give up and walk away.



All these things make me who I am, and that won't ever change. And I like that.
