I love music. I live for the song or album that is about me, that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I enjoy a good cry every once in a while. I live for the Barney's Co-op Big Sale. I was born a few years too late. I have only a few regrets because most of my mistakes were learning experiences. I have learned that If it's too stressful, I'm over it. My favorite nights are with friends, food, and good cofffee.
