Well, I'll admit it! If there is some sort of personality test posted on a blog or Facebook, I'll take it, always, unless they make me sign up for something. Otherwise, I'm all over it.

I am admittedly prone to girl crushes. I think it all started with Princess Allura of Voltron. Don't know who she is? Well before there were the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, there was Voltron (Defender of the Universe). A giant robot made up of 5 flying mechanical lions. OK, it sounds kind of stupid when I write it down. But, whatever, stay with me. As a kid, it was awesome...
I'm a a sucker for a good angsty, teen TV show. And I'm not afraid to quote them. "Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money, or fame, or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family, and from the quiet nobility of leading a good life." Today I embraced this idea.
