About me: I love music and going to shows. I'm vegan.
I'm learning to play the ukulele.
My favorite color is brown.
I hate girls that wear clothes that leave nothing to the imagination.
I've been playing the violin since I was 10.
My parents are awesome, I love them so much.
My brother and his fiance are two of my best friends and their daughter is the smartest, most beautiful, and funniest 6 year old ever.
I love going to the beach.
I prefer listening to vinyl over cds. I love hummus.
Dali is my favorite artist.
My favorite smell is Fizzy Pop incense. I want to be a gypsy in a traveling show.
I think that elephants are the most interesting animals because they have so many humanistic qualities.
I wish I would have known my Grandpa more before he passed.
I've lived in 3 states; Illinois, Virginia, and Texas.
I love the smell of rain.
I love to travel, but I want to go to Sweden more than anywhere else.
I hate Madonna.
I'm a very random and awkward person.
My favorite beer is Killians Irish Red.
I've seen Tilly and the Wall 4 times.
I love camping.
Euchre will always be my favorite card game.
I love learning new things and meeting new people.
I hate that we won't know what happens after we die until we die and see for ourselves.
I love watching people run through the rain.
I love taking long naps that when you wake up make the day feel really long and strange. I prefer green apples over red.
I don't think I will ever find someone I laugh with more then my best friend, Stephanie...love you!
I would love to work for an indie record label.
I hate it when people think negatively about themselves, especially when I do it.
Hmm... no turkey might be hard to do! However, possible! Maybe try eating some lobster instead, and be a bit more like the pilgrims. Surely in Massachusetts it was easier to find some lobster than a turkey!
but i'll die if i don't eat other living things. i have tried all the other stuff i just cant eat it man. i'd love to hang out with a turkey though. they are so cool
I know you're gonna like this news: The City of Chicago today banned the use of bull-hooks on elephants in the city as well as long term chains. It's a start. Ringling Bros Demo tonight at the Allstate Arena. United Center is in two weeks. Get your friends. Go! Raise hell! Nina Simone is like butter.
