Hi, I'm Kristen. I love the number 13 and have really big hair. I was born on the first day of winter. I like spending my days curled up with a book and a hot cup of coffee. I wear a lot of bracelets and carry around really big purses. My favorite thing in life is a good story, specifically ones that are told on stage. Because, as far as I'm concerned, that is where I belong.

    I'm easily excited, frightened, or fascinated.  My biggest fear is getting bad news. Or letting someone down. I say thank you constantly. I believe every girl should fall in love with at least one boy band before she grows up. It's that magical moment of innocence where you're dancing around your room to their record with complete certainty that you are going to marry one of them. I live in a place where the summers are straight from a southern novel, and sweet tea is an art form.

I go into a trance when watching old Disney movies. I don't like it when someone or something turns out differently than I originally thought. Like when you buy those fancy chocolate truffles and they end up having a nasty jelly inside. But, I mostly don't like it when it happens with people. I love my friends and am always discovering new ways that they can make me smile. I really don't think you can ever stop finding reasons to smile or uncovering new things to learn. I also don't think you should take life so seriously that you forget to believe in magic.
