About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go everywhere, see everything and meet everyone.

ABOUT ME

I always feel like I'm on a bad date when I have to fill out the "About me" section.

Anyway...

I'm a daydreamer, always thinking and observing. Initially I can be pretty shy but just give me a chance to warm up. I'm a very open person so if you have a question, just ask! No topic is too taboo. I'm also a great listener, so feel free to talk to me about whatever you'd like without fear of being judged.

PHILOSOPHY

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know; But when you listen, you may learn something new." -Dalai Lama

And...

"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person"-John Green

Interests

Exploring- I'm that idiot in the horror movies that you hate, yelling "DON'T GO IN THERE" to the screen.

Outdoorsy crap- I can't stand being cooped up inside for too long.

Reading- At any given time I'm reading at least 5 novels at once.

Dancing- Biggest stress reliever

Singing- My mom's biggest pet-peeve (I turn any activity I'm doing into a song).

Rapping- I'm an expert at memorizing rap lyrics. I TRY to freestyle at times but my only material is rapping about school/teaching.

Creepy things- I love all things macabre: Horror movies/books, haunted houses, sugar skulls, haunted buildings, abandoned places, Halloween.

Zelda-Enough said.
