about me

I'm 18 years old. Brown hair, brown eyes, "fair" skin. People tell me that my eyes are sort of creepy because they're more black than brown so you really can't see the pupils very well. I used to tell people it was my mom's fault and that she dropped me down the stairs so my eyes turned darker than they were supposed to be. Haha. Yeah it isn't true. I don't think... Hmmm.

After High School I plan on majoring in History. I have four colleges in mind, and I'm not sure where the heck I'm going to wind up.

As you may be able to tell (isn't that the worse sort of sarcasm), I'm extremely into graphics/web design. I think it will always just be a creative outlet, it remains to be nothing that I will pursue as a career.

I'm very concerned about the world, but I don't feel like there are any answers. There are just too many people. I wonder what is so outdated about Austrian economics, and I wonder how negligence of the Constitution is allowed.

I wonder why whenever I'm doing nothing I feel like I have all the time in the world to do something, but when I'm doing something I feel like I have no time to do anything.

Why winter is always colder than I remember?
