About Me
- About Me: I am enraptured by beauty in its various forms and delight in the simple pleasures of life. I am a bookworm. I am a writer. I am somewhat paranoid and fearful, but I won't let you in on that unless I absolutely must, ergo I suspect many who know me only through xanga will suppose I'm exaggerating a bit, but I regret to say I'm not. I am a little too introspective and consumed by myself (after all, I'm taking the time to figure out all these things I am and am skipping a good deal of the bad things except enough to prove I am somewhat human, but still practically perfect in every way. ;-)) I am a silly goose sometimes. Okay, most of the time. I am a daughter, and a sister. Last by most important, I am beloved by an amazing Heavenly Father.
