About Me



Myspace layouts from Pyzam.com

I love surprises! Apparently I'm supposed to be an adult now, but I think since I stopped growing at age 12, I should be able to act accordingly. :)
I graduated college in December with a B.A. in Spanish, a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in religious studies. I have a passion for people and am seeking a way to "be the change I wish to see in the world." (Gandhi)
I try to avoid material attachments, being that so many people have so little, or nothing. That said, I do have a love affair with shoes, and I for some reason feel the burning desire to own every book I've ever read.

My Interests

Trying to love like Jesus does, achieving simplicity, working out, reading, writing, traveling, singing, photography, procrastination, writing real stick-a-stamp-on-it-and-put-that-sucker-in-the-mail letters, Spanish, and the amazing people I have been blessed to love and be loved by. ..

I'd like to meet:

Kahlil Gibran, "Doubting Thomas," and Adam F. Duritz. Also, a handful of people I've lost touch with. I want to run into them on the street, and pop into a cafe because we both have the afternoon free, and catch up on life. Long after you're gone, you stay with me. And to meet this guy again...what wouldn't I give?

Im tired of people dying.

I'm tired of people dying, but God has brought a lot of peace and acceptance over things that are out of my control.  What's harder to swallow is that which I can control and manage to royally sc...
