About Me


I am a virgo, which says a lot about me. We are organized, hardworking, dedicated, modest, intelligent (at least I like to think), practical, and reliable. We are also overcritical, fussy, conservative and idealistic. If we are disappointed we can be come cynical and skeptical, which has happened to me on a number of topics, one being men and two being businesses. You can read more and it will probably be right on because everything I have ever read about virgo pretty much defines me. Weird, huh?
I love nature. I love everything about it. I especially love how it will heal it self over time without the help of anyone. ..nter
I love the simple things in life like sunshine and laughter. I like walking and talking. I love food. Veggies are my favorite and have recently become a vegetarian. Everyone always asks me why, so I will tell you. I don't eat meat because the process creates more pollution than all cars and trucks on the road. I am trying to save the planet. And the fact that I don't participate in animal slaughter is a bonus.
I love shopping but can't do it as much anymore due to funding issues. I love shoes especially. And sunglasses. The really huge buggy ones. I love antiques and hand-me-downs, and when people buy me coffee mugs. I LOVE music. If I don't have music playing out loud, there is always a song in my head. I have grown an incredible love for country music thanks to my best friend Ashley. Wave on Wave started it all.
I love my friends and family and am so incredibly proud of all of them for a thousand different reasons, mainly just to know them.
I love men but hate them just as much.
I love dogs and monkeys and squirrels. I love taking pictures and having my picture taken. I love plants and have an abundance in my apartment, some of which are dead thanks entirely to my black thumb.
I love scrabble and catch phrase. I love singing more than almost everything and am hoping maybe this summer to get up enough courage to ask someone to accompany me for an open mic night. I love sunshine and flowers and books. I love swimming and hiking and want to learn to rock climb. I love to decorate and rearrange my furniture.
I love love although have never been in real love. In junior high I thought I was in love with Mike Stroner. I think that is what people call lust. ..nter
I love romantic comedies and old movies.
I love my life, although I have so many regrets it is sad. I am definitely not one of those people who regrets nothing.
I adore my parents and siblings. My brother is a little tough, but it has gotten better. My sister is one of the most important people in my life and a big part of who I am stems directly from her.
I love rekindling old friendships and talking for hours.
I love writing (if you couldn't tell) and reading.
I love if you read this entire thing because it is sad if you write something and no one reads it. Just like if you sing something and no one listens.
I love live music and always show my love to the artist I am watching with loud clapping and siren whooping. It's one of my favorite things to do, that loud siren whoop. I think that is all you get. There is definitely more, but this is already too long.
Love. Tons and tons of ridiculous amount of love.

It’s times like these I’m glad I don’t eat meat....or drink bottled water.

143 million pounds of beef recalled. Some of which was shipped out 2 years ago. A video surfaced of cows that could no longer walk being sent to the slaughter house anyway. This was, of course, aft...
