About Me



My name is Ashley. My close friends and those who aren't close to me are welcome and do call me AshBo or Bo. Your choice really. I don't know many people who call me Ashley. It's usually Ash or one of the above. My favorite musician of all time is Regina Spektor. I'm eighteen years old! I live in my own house and drive a blue car.
I created WhateverLife.com; I have had WhateverLife.com since I was 14 years old. It is my business and my life at the moment. I have lived a lot in the past three years and have only a few things to say about it. Life is unpredictable and it can never be understood fully. There is always so much to learn.
WhateverLife.com started as a personal portfolio website and has evolved into it's own little community. The people I have been blessed to meet throughout the years make my days brighter than ever.
When I was fourteen and started WhateverLife.com; I never expected to go through everything I have gone through. I was legally emancipated at the age of 17 (broke free legally from parental/court rights)- I have bought my own home, I have added more pets in my life, been to Hawaii, San Francisco, New York, etc. I have been in a limo with my friends for the hell of it. I have endured a lot of pain and a lot of pleasure. I have developed the most amazing friendships (and just added on to the ones I have). I have laughed until I have peed my pants, and cried and let my friends hold me. I have laughed when it was inappropriate, and spoken to a huge room of adults. I have experienced photo shoots, and all day interviews. I have moved around quite a bit. My relationships have shifted. I have tried things and failed; I have tried things and succeeded. This has been three years. I have been introduced to beautiful music, and beautiful films. I have experienced new emotions and even more of the old. I have given up on judgment. I am happy with who I am.
I am quirky, witty, and funny. My life is so random though it may be hard to understand. To be close with me, you should have an imagination. I love to say "Okay, pretend our waitress thinks we're her grandparents" and have my friends agree. I love to pretend. I'm not crazy, then again; sometimes I think we all can be! Everyone's life is hard and complicated. Nothing in life is random, and loving is the greatest joy of all. I like to believe in the Lochness Monster, and listen to Indie Music. I like to jam to something screaming for a hot second and then rap something freestyle (or the latest hit on the radio). I like country music too.
I used to think I was a lot more complicated than I am. But truthfully, like I said we are all complicated. The key is figuring yourself out and the rest comes a bit easier.
I enjoy trying new restaurants, even though I am probably the most picky girl you will ever meet. I like feeling and I'm not afraid of touch. I love looking at art and even though I have certain types I do myself, I can appreciate them all. I really do love people, but sometimes I find myself nervous and shy. Other times I find myself having so much fun and being super outgoing. I am introverted, much less than three years ago though. I have been introduced to business meetings, taxes, lawyers and so much more. I have life experience. I plan to experience more. I drive my pretty blue car. It's really amazing.
I have a pretty decent list of accomplishments in my life that make me smile, but I am very humble. I appreciate them in my head and I don't like to brag or steal spotlight. I am a well rounded person who loves seeing others succeed as well.
I am myself and though not perfect, satisfied. So do not be afraid to talk to me. You're not weird, or wait, if you are so am I. Please tell me a funny joke. Or a random word like "BAH" or "PUH". It will put a smile on my face. I am very, very easy to please.I AM the most random person you will ever meet. I will ask you weird questions (what if we see different colors?) and I will pretend to talk in a different made up language (like SimLish...you guys know what I mean!)- See with the pretending again. I'm a dork and a nerd and a philosopher. I am not as smart as I think I'm sure, but I did average a 3.9 in high school. I left my high school in 2006 (You can say I 'dropped out' if it pleases you). I have attended a local college to earn credits for my diploma, but I plan on just using them for my degree when I transfer this year. I plan on attending CCS in Detroit Fall 2008. It is beautiful and perfect for me. My best friends are living with me this summer and I cannot wait. It will be a challenge and a masterpiece. I hope. This has been three years. Life is beautiful and life is crazy. Life is hard and life really hurts. Life is indescribable, always.
