: About Me

I am a world-traveling, poetry-writing heartbreaker with a penchant for exaggeration.

I was born and raised in rural North Georgia.

I study English Lit and Creative Writing at the University of West Georgia.

I am, as we speak, on a student exchange at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic.

I keep a blog called "Goodbye America. Hello World." You can see it here: http://goodbyeamericahelloworld.blogspot.com/

I write poems and things and I love you.

My passion is ...

poetry. And travel. And love, sweet love.

I know too much about ...

georgraphy, language, and how to suck at things.

My parents always told me ...

to be myself.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer. Or a secret agent. Does anyone have any connections at the CIA just in case the writer thing doesn't work out?

My favorite memory ...

cold nights with a special someone.

Why I write ...

because I have no choice.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

"Snow" by Orhan Pamuk/ nothing/ some The Everybodyfields tracks

My first job ...

was at a grocery store. I don't recommend it.

My best moment ...

was the one just before I was forced out of my mother's womb.

My inspiration ...

is love, the world, and coffee.
