ABOUT ME

“and above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. those who don't believe in the magic will never find it!”
-roald dahl

"the universe is such a strange and wonderful place that reality will always outrun the wildest imagination; there will always be things unknown and perhaps unknowable. which is very lucky for us, because it means that whatever other perils humanity may face in the future that lies ahead, boredom is not among them."
-arthur c. clarke

PHILOSOPHY

i try to find humor and happiness in everything, no matter where i am

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i feel like the most beautiful moments in my life have not necessarily been times of great excitement. contentment is a powerful emotion. i hope the best times are yet to be experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

oh my!
i have so far taught 7 people how to drive stick shift in my car, and would love to add to that number. it's a skill that deserves learning, but only takes an afternoon! i promise i don't get worried no matter how many times you kill my engine. i've done it too.
i can teach you to cross stitch, or knit.
i love love to cook and love people who want to buddy up with cooking or just eat my food.
i will teach you where to find the secret warp whistles in super mario bros 3.
