ABOUT ME

I love to eat and wish I had two hollow legs, rather than one. I love to laugh and have a good time. I am easily amused and easy-going. I love to learn. The greatest part about that, is that I'll never be bored. I love to be in nature. I also love cities and people and good music and art. I am just as happy reading a book, as I am being rowdy with friends. Good stories thrill me. Life thrills me. I don't know how people can be bored- there's too much to see, do, and learn.

I want to go everywhere.
