About Me
- About Me: I am a lover of beauty at my core. I am an idealist trying to live in a less than ideal world. I'm a rebel by my own definition. If you meet me, you'll either think I'm kind of shy or really out there, depending on my mood that day. I love fantasy novels and everything epic. I like to look at ordinary things from the perspective of someone who might not be familiar with them. Anything can bizarre if you look at it that way! I think Monty Python is hilarious. Life is full of humor, and I love to seek it out. I love meeting interesting people. They're everywhere, if you know where to look. I'm hard to figure out...I'm proud of it.
