About Me



life as i know it...the last 10 months have been very different from any other time in my life... i have been learning a ton and sitting back and trying to piece together everything that has happened in the last 10m months to make out what i am suppose to be learning...maybe the most important thing that i have been learning is the importance of people in my/your life and the importance of surrounding yourself with them... not only is it important for our own growth but also the growth of the other person/people... we were not created to be alone but to live together to bring out the good in each other and to lovingly show each other the not so good side to grow in it and to change...so i guess in a long round about way i am saying that one of the most important things in my life is people and spending time with people (quality time not this foofoo lets watch a movie time but time digging in and really getting to know people) ..

My Interests

music... hot hair... cool shoes... thai food... asian markets... sewing... biking(especially late night bike rides:)... chillin with friends... my cell phone... meeting new people...trying new things... making things... talking... coffee and tea (even some yummy bubble tea)

I'd like to meet:

i love meeting people sooo very much... i love seeing what makes people tick and why people think the way they do...(on another note i am not here for a dating service and would appreciate for people with that intention not bother leaving me creepy messages)

Music:

elliot smith... brandtson... rosie thomas... cibelle... frank sinatra... the album leaf... sigur ros... anberlin... ella fitzgerald... fitzgerald... kat jones... north... jeff hanson... appleseed cast... the blood brothers... as i lay dying... copeland... death cab...mewithoutyou... pedro the lion... rocky votolato... sufjan stevens... cat power...

Movies:

amalie... the garden state... say anything... fight club... les mes

Television:

i freakin hate the t.v. ... let's do something fun!!! and interact with each other!!! instead of wasting our lives in front of a little box...

Books:

the bible...the raggamuffin gospel... velvet elvis

Heroes:

jesus... my mom (man you never knew what your mom put up with untill you're older, you gotta love her)... greg teselle
