ABOUT ME

I can blow bubbles on the tip of my tongue.

I sucked my thumb until I was 11.

The psychological effects of social networking websites fascinate me; I can't wait for a study to come out about them.

The last time I got a hair cut, I flipped a coin - heads, shave my head, tails, don't. It was heads.

I'm a babyface. At age 20, I got into the Wisconsin State Fair for the youth price.

I love reading. I bring a book everywhere I go. Literally, everywhere.

My family loves animals. We have two dogs and five rabbits and we'd definitely have more if we had the space...

I'm looking forward to moving into a place of my own once I graduate from college next year. This may or may not have anything to do with the previous statement...

My parents honeymooned in San Francisco, so I like to think I was there, but in two separate parts. One day I'll go back as a whole.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to do everything that scares me. I believe in talking to everyone because everyone has something to offer me. I believe in stepping outside of myself as much as possible to connect with others. That's all I want to do and that's why I'm here.

Interests

writing, hoarding books, art, dance, poetry, philosophy, playing guitar and piano and whatever else I can get my hands on, cooking, odd senses of humor, late-night walks, learning new things, meeting new people, making people laugh, chewing over the enigmatic universe
