A writer, photographer, dreamer, and lover, I am the quintessential optimistically pessimistic, occasionally meat-eating vegetarian hippie chick who believes wholeheartedly in peace, love, toast and sox but is not above carrying a (pink) can of mace.

I have the opposite of writer's block and often begrudge the fact that I cannot write while in the shower, hiking, boating, or driving. I absolutely adore research. I believe in truth and subscribe to the theory that the little things are the most important. I want nothing more than happiness for myself and those around me.

And a tiara. It’s really all about the tiara.
