Hey, I'm Madi!

Hi, I'm Madi!  My real name is Madison, but I go by a plethora of other names.  So feel free to call me Madi, Mads, or Magpie. There are many more and I'm sure you'll learn them eventually.  I'm nineteen years old and exactly 5'8 1/2.  I have long blonde hair that is often a tangled mess and a skin tone that is preeminently tinted pink.  My face turns a shade darker than a tomato when I get embarrassed or laugh/cry too hard.  I am LDS(mormon) and I love it.  I'm very clumsy and get lost easily, but I guess that's a good thing because I kind of like getting lost.  I grew up in a desert with my four sisters and I love them more than anything.
I like to read any kind of book or watch any kind of movie where I escape this reality and enter a new one.  I dream of getting my Hogwarts letter, crossing the lamp post into Narnia, saying something sassy to Mr. Darcy, and joining the fellowship.  I have big dreams of traveling and would definitely consider myself a gypsy at heart.  It's hard for me to stay in one place for too long without getting anxious and wanting to find a new adventure.
When it comes to school, I would like to be a Psychology major and maybe minor in journalism.  But honestly, if I could make it through this life wandering around the world until I find my perfect lighthouse(MORE ON THAT LATER), then I would be perfectly content with doing so.  I want a degree, but I crave long road trips, new and unexpected relationships, and experiences only had through spontaneous action SO much more.  I consider dropping out of school and doing something crazy almost everyday.  I mean, my mom followed the Grateful Dead around the country so she'll understand, right?  I just want to make this life all it can be and more.  I want to make a difference.  Most people say it's just a my age or a phase I'm going through, and maybe they're right.  But whatever they say, I will not "get my head out of the clouds" because I like it up here.
It was a pleasure writing to all of you and I'll keep you informed on how the weather is up here.  I hope through this blog I can be someone you can relate to.  Because I think a lot of us, even when doing good things with our lives, feel like there is so much more we want to do.  And it scares me to think we are holding back simply because it is not "realistic".  I think there are too many realists in this world and it's getting old ;)  I'll make dreamers out of all of you, I promise.

From The Clouds,

Madi
