penguins make me cry. New Yorker cartoons make me laugh.

i have an unfortunate tendency to think with my heart instead of my head.

i hope i die in some crumbling, bombed-out, old-world european hotel.

i like cowboys.

I went back to school in January to St. Edwards to get a second Bachelor's, in psychology. Grad school soon to follow. Eventually I want to be a therapist and own my own practice.


"An Inner Dream number of 11 means:
You dream of casting the light of illumination; of being the true idealist. You secretly believe there is more to life than we can know or prove, and you would like to be provider of the 'word' from on high."
