About me:

First off, I'm a huge dork, so if you don't like that then you might as well leave my page. Secondly, I'm a hopeless romantic and an idealist, if you're gonna know anything about me it's that. You might call me naive, but I don't care. I can be kind of shy at times but I'm confident where it counts. My family and friends mean the world to me. The one thing I want more than anything is to become a pastry chef. I love to sing and sometimes I even burst out into song randomly, usually with showtunes 'cause I love musicals. I love to read, Powell's City of Books is one of my favorite places. My website

A few of my favorite quotes:

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”
- E. E. Cummings

“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love, true love, never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”
- excerpt from ‘Secondhand Lions’.

“You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. All you want to do is be near them.”
- excerpt from ‘The Truth About Cats & Dogs.’

“Some men see things the way they are and ask, "Why?" I dream things that never were, and ask "Why not?"
- George Bernard Shaw

“A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.”
- Edward P. Morgan

"We can’t do everything and we can’t be everything but we can do something and we can be something."
- David Cook

And, I can't remember for the life of me who said this, but it's a great quote:
"Today's radical thinking is tomorrow's common sense."
I may be paraphrasing there though. If you know who said this let me know!
