about me

I'm awkward at starting posts so I'll just go right into what I'm going to say: I'm Alex and this is my blog. I'm not new at blogging. I create and delete blogs left and right, but hopefully this one will stay. So hold on tight and don't look back.

I quote song lyrics and movies a lot. I love music, fashion, photography, and writing. I love sweet tea and summertime in East Texas. However I'd give it all up to move to New York City, which is my ultimate goal. I just want to live and explore. Unfortunately there's only so much to explore in small town Texas. 

As much as I'd like to say I'm the "peaceful" type, I only am about 56% of the time. It's just who I am. I get in fights sometimes defending myself, my friends and family, and my beliefs, and I'm not going to let anyone trample over any of those things for the sake of "keeping the peace." I'm not sorry.

Here's some basic things about me:
-I'm a vegetarian.
-I'm a Republican.
-I'm a Christian.
-No matter where I live, I'm a Texas girl at heart.
-I'll go to extremes to defend my friends and family and I do a little thing some of my friends like to call "scheming." I'm not sorry. 
-Throw the movies Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Devil Wears Prada into one and that's where I see myself in 10 years.
-I love attending concerts and I love music. 
-If I attack you with my camera it only mean I love you.
-I use the word "love" a lot and I think I do that because there needs to be more love in the world (or I just really like the word...whatever).

Oh, and by the way, the picture you're looking at in this post in one of my favorite places ever, Wildwood Lake. Go there on a breezy summer day with your ipod and some sweet tea and lay on top of a picnic table with your eyes closed and do nothing else. You're welcome.
