I speak a different language and everybody's talkin' too fast.

About Me

Sam: as described by those she loves and admires..."sam is a tortured soul... a really really GOOD soul, but tortured nonetheless. think about it. it isn't her fault, it's the way of the world, and only those with a certain amount of moxy can cut it. sam roxors." [by the amazing Lorin]---------------------------------------"So put together tattoo art and a cup of coffee, add a little granola with a pinch of emoness and you have Samantha.Art is her life, its practically oozing out of her pores. Give her some art tools and she would love you forever. Talk about how you love Thomas Kinkaid and how "wonderful" his artwork is and she will hate you forever. Maybe even jam a paintbrush handle into your eyes(not really).Shes very quiet when you first meet her but if you give her time she will be one of the most rowdy weird, but fun people you've ever known.This girl also LOVES reading, she reads as though there is no tomorrow. She has her own personal library and its still growing as I write this. Trips to barnes and noble are like trips to candy land. Ask her what books she thinks you will like and she will hand you a huge stack of books.Her pet peeves are; Thomas kinkaid, artwork that is unfinished, smelly people, broken mattress boxes, little boys, bush, republicans, and fake people.Her loves; art, music, great food, tattoos, reading, friends, short hair, indie films, her job at trader joes, Harry potter, dark chocolate, kat von d and Sean Barber.To sum it all up she is a little hippy emo artsy child. how would you abbreviate that or make it into another word? hepoac? ehac? heemoc? whatever." [by the uncomparable Annie]----------------------------------------"Sam is one smooth criminal (not that she's a criminal or anything). Books are her body and artwork is her blood give a little music for soul and out pops a Sam. There aren't many people in this world you can count as true friends, but when you get to know Sam thats exactly what she'll be for you, there to the end in every situation. Gotta Love Her! :D " [by the adorable and lovable mitchell] ---------------------------------------"Sam is definetly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Shes quiet at first but so much fun and hilarious once you get to know her. She's the best friend you could ever have, she's stuck by my side when no one else did and helped me through so much. Jaw-Dropping Artist who has so much potential. Sam is also one of the strongest people I've ever met, even if she doesn't think so. She has gone through so much shit she doesn't deserve, and to me, shes still amazing, strong, and beautiful." [by the amazingly awesome Chelsea]--------------------------------"Sam is an artist, a poet, and a new friend to me. I appreciate her smurky smile, and her tight guns. She definitely stickts to them, and although it's painful at times, she welcomes a new day." [by the undefinable Amanda]
