First off I think Taylor Swift says it best: “I’m not a princess and this aint a fairytale.” To be honest I’m just a huge nerd! That may even be an understatement but I don’t mind. I graduated college in April and have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I had a ton of plans… actually I pretty much had my life all planned out but I’ve since discarded all of those young ideas. Recent life experience has changed my mind and opened my eyes to things I was once blind to. To put it simply, I’ve just changed. Right now I’m trying to enjoy life to the best of my ability. I’ve spent a lot of time working on my book… the research is a daily adventure and I’m loving it. I’d tell you the plot but I’d have to maim you 🙂
I’m actually a bit of a pacifist. I don’t think that violence is the way to resolve conflict… however I do belief that it is valid to protect oneself if they are attacked and the attack may end in the loss of ones life (aka life or death). And though it may sound quite strange… I do enjoy films with a lot of action and violence (not so much gore).
I am fascinated with technique and discipline and how training in a sport or art can really make a difference in ones life. I tend to be a pretty loyal person… once I like you I always like you! I’ve learned a lot recently about life and how it’s about rolling with the punches instead of taking them. Strength is not in letting yourself be beaten down instead it is moving out of the way or punching back.
I of course have my quirks just like the next person. For example I don’t like closed minded people who believe that their way is the only way that could possibly ever be correct. I like debates and sometimes that gets me into trouble; I think Organic milk tastes 10 million times better than the other stuff; I check to see if the door is locked twice before i leave; It makes me sick to the stomach when I arrive somewhere late; and I like unique, diverse people who aren’t afraid to take chances and learn new things.
