Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind. (Samuel Johnson.)

About Me

Proverbs 3:3
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck and write them on the tablet of your heart.
John 14:6
I am the way, the truth, and the life. None get to the father but through me.
Philippians 4:8-9
Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. What you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion has started to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends . . . When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate and revenge . . . They were messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.” -from Love Actually
I believe that we are defined by our relationships and that life is about experience. That being said, I take my relationships seriously and seek to experience as much as I can.
I value life, change, growth, people, humor, irony, and living with a heart that seeks joy, love and peace.
Before I die, I want to go to Morocco, Greece, and Jerusalem.
I also usually have a new favorite song every day.
Things I love:
spending time with friends and my love, Jake
being left-handed
watching CNN
reading non-school books
going to church
exploring and growing in faith
eating vegetables
driving around
being super fantastic at any given moment
Things that I don't like so much . . .
rude people
library fines
the color purple (no, not the book . . . the actual color . . . ew.)
Stevie Nicks' voice
Fresno's air
people who use the "I hate needles" excuse as a reason not to donate blood
sleeping through my alarm (again)
that bummed out feeling
stupid commercials
gas prices
That's enough for now.
"Be who you are and say what you feel because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind."
-Dr. Seuss

My Interests


Your Life Path Number is 6
Your purpose in life is to help others

You are very compassionate, and you offer comfort to those around you.
It pains you to see other people hurting, and you do all in your power to help them.
You take on responsibility, and don't mind personal sacrifice. You are the ultimate giver.

In love, you offer warmth and protection to your partner.

You often give too much of yourself, and you rarely put your own needs first.
Emotions tend to rule your decisions too much, especially when it comes to love.
And while taking care of people is great, make sure to give them room to grow on their own. What Is Your Life Path Number?

I'd like to meet:

People who don't suck. Oh, and Josh Groban. :-D Seriously. Whatta hunk.

You Are An ENFJ
The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

In love, you are very protective and supporting.
However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud What's Your Personality Type?
