i'm a messy person, who loves to read, sleep, knit, be goofy, hang out with friends and so much more. i love my apartment. i'm a kid at heart. i wish i could hire a personal chef, as i don't really like cooking for myself. i love to BAKE, though. i love my friends fiercely. if you're my friend, you better believe i'll stand up for you no matter what.

i have some of the best friends in the whole world...i wish i could support them as well as they support me. i love cookbooks and marking recipes i want to try, but i almost never actually cook, it's kind of sad. i'm excruciatingly shy and have a hard time putting myself out there to make new friends. it's the little things that make me smile like i'm a little girl again. like watching clips of disney movies in foreign languages on youtube, or childrens book stamps, or crayons and a coloring book.

i have a bachelor's in psychology, but i don't want anything to do with it now. i absolutely LOVE to read, i MAKE time to read. i'm thinking i want to be a children's librarian. my whole family is fluent in german, i was born in germany, but i've only had two years of it in college. purple is my favorite color, with blue as a very close second. i love art, but can't draw for the life of me. if i could, i would just sit around and watch netflix dvds, read, eat good food and knit alllll the time. too bad i can't do that...i wish i had a pet, a cat or a dog or maybe a bunny. i love to bake, but i don't do it often. i want to learn to be a better cook, but i've found i'm kind of afraid of it. i don't know why. i have a purple tattoo of a treble clef on the inside of my left ankle.
