ABOUT ME

I majored in Political Science and History, I work at a non-profit organization. I like to go out and have fun and explore, but I can also veg out on my couch for a couple of days at a time. I'm a: half-assed hippie, redneck lovin, bluegrass singin, fun person...I love to party hearty...often

I'm learning to play melodica so that I can rock out!

I like to help people, and want to help and teach for the rest of my life but not be a teacher, I want to make an impact on people's lives without being in a classroom, if that makes sense at all....

I have a vicious attack cat

I hate tomatoes....

I like to travel

You have 5 minutes to say something to impress me, otherwise you will be regarded as a fool

PHILOSOPHY

"as soon as you're born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time!" - Cake...

"If you’re going to lead my country
If you’re gonna say it’s free
I’m gonna needa little honesty
Just a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need" - Ben Sollee
