About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my ass over to the other side of the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a little strange at first ( i have a lot of odd mis-matched hobbies and background) but you get used to it.
I've had people tell me(or my friends) that i'm just too bubbly. :/ I don't see it.
I love to laugh, and i don't see the pont of being mopey or depressed or moody when all that does is waste a goood time and bring other people down.
If that's too bubbly then so be it :D
If you're up for trying new things and need another person who's never done it (or maybe HAS) then i'm usually up for the challenge!

I hate the cold (part of my mission to get out of canada for a while!)
I love laying out in the sun with a good book.
I can litterally read all day. (and have)
I'm a jack of all (trades, hobbies, etc) and master of none
I count people as freinds fairly easily.
Theople that i count as true friends, are like family to me, and I would bend over backwarsd to take care of them, and don't ask for much but your thanks in return.
I'm a good friend to have and your loss to lose.

I don't deal well with assholes... just sayin.

PHILOSOPHY

You are my friend until you prove yourself otherwise.
The energy you put into the universe is what comes back to you, so always give your best, and that's what you'll get out of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not very exciting, but i think the most amazing thing I've done was when I stayed in the mountains with my grandparents at 14. Got to swim in the rivers and even drink from the amazing ice cold glacier ones.
