from the beginning


the girl: I answer to Megan, Meg, or Megs. I will also answer to Stacey as I'm often mistaken for my best friend. Or at the very least her twin and/or sister. We look nothing alike.

Titles include (but are not limited to): daughter, sister, friend, traveller, bookworm, dreamer, Taurus, writer, wannabe-photographer, student, and slave to my crazy, 3 pound tabby cat named Sniglet. She's my sidekick and faithful companion.

I'm helpless in my need to be a do-gooder. Do-gooder [noun]: One that needs a career that serves the greater good and makes a difference in the world. That's why I chose psych for undergrad and why I'm getting my masters in nonprofit management. It's annoying, trust me. Plus, it makes decisions harder. Especially for an indecisive soul like myself.

These are a few of my favorite things: the color pink, the number 27, yellow tulips, and birds (obviously).

I believe that anything below 75 degrees is cold; I believe that life is what you make it; I believe in my firm liberal values; I believe that the scale is a torture device; And I believe that determination can get you just about anywhere.

I dislike bunnies, bridges, diets, the word 'supper', bad grammar, clowns, and scary movies.

And as well as liking obvious contradictions, I like lists, Diet Coke, Blistex, even numbers (except for 27, of course), and over-using parentheses.

the title: Derived from an Annie Lenox song, "Little Bird." Not only does it incorporate my fondness of birds, the lyrics also fit where I am at this stage in my life. Come August, I'm leaving the nest to move to a new city (that I've never been to) 3 hours from home to go to graduate school. I also hope to fly across the pond and travel to Europe this summer. Alone.

the purpose: I'm carving out this little piece of cyberspace as my own to write about my solo travels, my adventures in a new city, and my trials and tribulations as I fall out of the nest and learn to fly on my own.
