It feels so good. But I promise, I won't do it. Never again. The more I do it, the more I have to. God help me. I can't stop biting the inside of my cheek. Each year as a new year's resolution, . . . more

About Me

People say I'm:

sassy, silly, sweet, squeaky, smart, strange & other S words
Describe Yourself:

Well, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator would tell you I'm an INFP. This would mean I'm an introverted idealist who's curious, loyal, adaptable, understanding, and accepting -- until one of my values is threatened. Then, woah boy.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

The security blanket I lost at Disney World when I was a tot. Do you have it?
