About Me
ABOUT ME
I love music, and socializing, scarves, and NPR. Walking and new experiences. I'm also very laid-back, so that's usually good.
PHILOSOPHY
hmmmm...
"We feel understood by people who like us; misunderstood by people who don't -- and those feelings are probably realistic."
-Hugh Prather
"And in situations like these
It's sometimes useful to think of life as one long, continuous evening
That never turns into night."
-John Darnielle
