About Me

  • About Me: I'm a girl. I'm a Christian. I'm in college and I'm loving it. I'm a nerd and a klutz. I love family and friends. I love music, art and learning. I believe music has a power to move people (think about the Lovin' Spoonful's 'Do You Believe In Magic?'). I believe that people are fascinating and that everyone has a story. I believe that most people have stopped reading by now. I believe that no one should remain ignorant to the major issues and I don't believe we could ever achieve world peace or the perfect communist nation.
