CARISSA

Love is easy when you're loved, but do you curse another when you're alone?

About Me

I am a work in progress and I always will be. Here's my motto, without progression you run the risk of regression. If I don't examine my life and make steps to move forward than I will just get stuck or I may even fall back. I love to love and I believe that love is the most important ingrediant in the recipe of life. I know that love is more than just a feeling, it's a lifestyle, one that I try to live by even though it's hard. I try to be the woman that God created me to be. I fail over and over which is why I thank the Lord for mercy. I thank the Lord for many things. My friends and my family mean the world to me. They make life enjoyable and full and they have helped make me who I am. I am me and luckily I can't describe myself completely in one paragraph

My Interests

Dancing will always be one of my interests. I enjoy reading. I love the theatre and all the different aspects of it. I'm interested in my family and friends and getting to know them better. I like pictures, family history, vintage things, walking in the rain, daydreaming, and sitting on my roof, writing in my journal, hearing secrets, learning about God, and traveling. I sound pretty sappy huh? Well I also like playing football, poker, and getting in the mud.

I'd like to meet:

Leonardo Davinci, that would be cool and there's so many people from the Bible that I would love to meet like Joseph and Daniel and Esther. My grandmothers, I hope they are proud of me.

Music:

I have very eclectic taste in music. A little o' this and a little o' that. The good news is that even a middle-aged black man liked my music so it's all cool right? I especially love oldies and alternative stuff

Movies:

Pride and Prejudice, You've Got Mail, Batman Begins and other such superhero movies, Sabrina, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films, musicals, and whatever else suits my fancy.

Television:

Oh the time consumer that is television! Well I like some reality shows like America's Next Top Model or Extreme Makeover Home Edition and yes, I like Star Trek. My favorite show now is Heroes. Fabulous and I'm hooked on it!

Books:

There are so many books that I want to read I can't even begin. I do know that I love the authors Ted Dekker, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen.

Heroes:

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ becuase he died for me and loves me even though I did nothing for it. My youth pastors, my Aunts, John and Betty Stam, and Mr. Temple.

Nice hot cup o' quotes

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautif...
