I feel that "naughty" is a word that should be used more often in day-to-day conversation.

I'm an artist. -ish. I also have a strange fascination with bacteria. And park rangers. I like their hats.

Sometimes I like to think of myself as a photographer...

My favorite words are "pontificate," "catawompus," "clusterf*ck," and "magnificent." Obviously I can use only three of them in everyday conversation.

I recently discovered the penguin emoticon on Facebook. It made my life.

I am a logophile, a bibliophile, and an agorophobe. I also have OCD, ADD, motor tics, panic attacks, and performance anxiety. While I sound like a bubbling pot of crazy, I am, oddly enough, fairly easy to get along with. I don't rock the boat. Well, not usually. My AP Government teacher is worth a little pushing. He can take it.

Compliments make me nervous. So do heights and electrical outlets. Oh, and facial hair.

I name my favorite possessions, narrate my own life in my head, laugh when I go running, sing in public, describe things out loud to myself, talk to my car, design and sew dresses, go to the Symphony once a month, speak in Spanish at random, skip in the halls between classes, draw, walk around outside aimlessly late at night (insomnia), listen to music, make yummy noises when I eat, go on long kayaking adventures with my friends, bike for miles and miles, take pictures of clouds, and probably should be studying for Calculus or AP Macroeconomics right now.

What does a moustache feel like, anyway?
