I am no longer a poet, nor am I a writer. I'm a good speller, but far from the best. Sometimes I'm a little full of myself. Big words amuse me, and I love learning the meanings of them. I have never worked hard in school. I am athletic, competitive, and many other adjectives. There is no point in football, and I do not intend to find one. I complain a lot, and it's not for attention. I'm not afraid to speak my mind. I may speak a quarter of it, half of it, or two-thirds of it; rarely will I speak it all at one time. I laugh at weird things, get over it. I can act retarded, stupid, obnoxious, spontaneously and strange sometimes. There is no definition for acting "blond"; therefore, I do not act in this manner. Please, don't hesitate to talk to me. However, be forewarned, there are stupid questions out there, despite what your mother and father tell you, and I don't like them. I get embarrassed easily. I'm a night owl. I love to connect names to bands. If I could take my mistakes back, I probably would. The small things in life make me smile, and sometimes the small things hurt me like hell. If there ever was another real chance, It kills me to think that I would actually hesitate with my response. Pondering life and it's choices fills my day. I like to watch the people stroll by on a sunny afternoon.
