nervous nut, recently re-re-re-relocated to rva.

my self perception is questionable at best. i've been told i think too much and don't smile enough.

daydreaming. cooking, reading, trying to keep up with modern music with hypem.com, improving my vocabulary via freerice.com, trying a new craft weekly

keeping the netflix queue long, being completely interested in one thing for 24 hours at a time, drinking craft beer. being absolutely mad. making plans(and not following through with them). listening, understanding.

i have never asked anyone this question, so i'm not sure. however, i get told to "smile" a lot.
