About Me

Well I've come to realize lately that it is possible to be a procrastinator and a profectionist... also that I always write with "..." maybe bc my thoughts are all kind of continuous, who knows. The contradicting combination of "me" makes life interesting.. and no one wants boring.. at least I don't. I love to laugh and making others happy makes me smile. I'm a pretty in depth person and would take a real conversation over a shallow one anyday... but I do like to be sarcastic and play around and act like a total goofball too... I can be totally random and an oxymoron at times...I think it's important to be able to find a happy medium between sarcasm and serious... I love long talks... soul searching I guess... just figuring out what makes people tick. I can have a good conversation with most people unless they are ignorant and unaccepting. I love to talk to people who make me think... People who are open minded, willing to share their opinion but also willing to not only listen to yours but truly try to understand where you're coming from, as I try to do, truly listen, not "fake" listening or fake conversations. For that matter.. not fake people in general. I've been described as compassionate and creative, weird but I say original. haha I'd say I'm like the girl next store but with a little feisty streak... can't stand living in a box, but I'm not a huge rebel either... I've been told I have the wisdom of an old soul... I guess sometimes I feel old... is 23 old? lol I find joy in little things like watching the way light reflects on the water.. I'm drawn to the water... in more ways I realize as I'm now living in Rochester, MN with no natural lakes... it's impossible for me...I'm captivated by the beauty of a sunset or laying watching the stars and searching for shooting stars in a cloudless night... especially with a special someone to share it with. I'm a hopeless (no hopeful I guess is a better term) romantic, maybe an idealist... I love romantic comedies.. but I'm also a huge tomboy and have a great time watching guy movies with my dad and comedies with my guy friends.. and I love old classics like Audrey Hepburn, Aretha Franklin and Shirley Temple. I probably have more guy friends than gf, just bc girl drama is annoying. But I can be quiet feminine... I think it's more the artist in me though. I work at a spa and it's fun to play with all that girly stuff but I'm just as comfy in jeans or sweats laying in the grass or playing in the woods. I love to hike trails and climb trees, I like to play "clouds" where you make shapes out of the clouds in the sky or even better the reflections in the water. I love to walk and pick flowers and get away from the hustle and bustle of life. I try to find some quiet time each day but truly miss the time I used to spend journaling, songwriting or thinking by the water where I used to walk my dog. I'm a giver and have a hard time being a receiver sometimes... depends. I'm a lover, not a fighter... I pretty loud and can be outspoken but I am also quiet and shy at times... sometimes I can ramble for hours and others I can just sit and listen forever... Communication is important but so is knowing when to bite your tongue. I'm also pretty sensitive myself and to those around me... I always give of myself, I enjoy making people happy.. and always need reminders to take care of myself. My closest friends know that about me and have a way to remind me to take time for me without being overbearing, bc then I won't listen.. haha... On the other hand I'm far from the kind of girl you could walk all over. I'm outgoing and crazy but tactful... and I'm known for having a way to put things... I'm best with writing though, I write alot of poetry and music all the time... I'm a sucker for good lyrics and am told I have a way with words... even though sometimes I think I ramble. I guess I like to make my point but I don't like to offend people and I love to hear opinions from others. Someone described me just today as conservative but edgy.. I like that. I love to write... being a musician and artist I can't get enough out of the beauty of creation and the wonder of words... I spent 6 months in Mexico and love learning about people, languages and culture... trying new things. I am in school... working on degrees.. BA in graphic design, music (vocal and flute) performance and an Assoc. deg. in Massage Therapy. My passions are writing music... can get lost for hours just sitting at a piano with my notebook and mind racing... the others include photography, especially black and white and hand coloring... rollerblading although after a bad fall last summer I have yet to get back on... and also I love to dance... falling in trance to good rhythm and passionate musicians. My previous job was a nanny for four adorable boys in Minnesota... so basically I got paid to act like a silly kid all day (jk) but anyway my days were fun and undoubtedly everchanging... always challenging, high energy but full of life and surprises... little boys ask the funniest questions... I was asked the ever popular why do boys have weenies and girls don't q... wow did I get speechless for that one... I've been asked about poop and farts and body parts and it's all been very funny and a great experience... children teach you so much, not only about life but about yourself... I've learn that a childs innocence is one of the most pure and beautiful things in the world. The way they are always seeking, trying to learn and please, and how they have no inhibitions to ask questions... when in life do we become so afraid? I've now moved to Maui, Hawaii and I'm loving life here in upcountry. I love to get back to the midwest and see family, friends and the Great Lakes but life here has taken me in and I love it. I've started my own company La-ti-Da Productions. You can check it out at www.la-ti-daproduction.com It's music education for children and it's a great thing to be doing. It's so rewarding and enjoyable. I love it. Besides that I have my own nanny service and take care of some great kids and finally I'm dong massage here and there and am the Hawaii Merchandising Manager for my good friend's company Bali Jewel Inc. www.balijewelrystore.com Lastly... I could probably go on forever but I'll end with... when someone asks me what I want to do with my life... my answer is usually something like, what's there NOT to do... life has so much to offer... don't chase your dreams, live them! You should give at least five hugs a day and always smile.. you never know who might be falling in love with it. Life... the following is something that I wrote in college and still love. "...You might say everyone of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasent, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy..." Aren't we all trying to play the beautiful music of life? We stand on the roof of life trying to continue to create harmony between our comfortable surroundings and the constant change of the world around us. Sometimes the roof of life may feel as if it's crumbling beneath us, forcing us to make choices in the composition of our song. No matter which way you choose to write your next verse, remember that a balance of conscience and an open mind will keep you standing firm on your roof of life. Sometimes, we may not want to perform, but we don't have a choice. At times, the music is there in front of us, other times we may need the help of our fellow musicians, and sometimes we may have to improvise, but either way we have to listen to the tune in each of our hearts... and follow it.

My Interests

Music, composing, piano, photography (especially black and white and handcoloring) the arts in general, graphics, massage and bodywork and making various things, like purses, jewelry etc... I've gotten really into colored pencil on black paper lately. I really love the outdoors, especially water and sunsets, cloudless starry nights...I'm especially fascinated with reflections.. I find so much beauty in nature and love to get lost in the sound of the waves or the wind in the trees... Helps me to relax and inspires me in my music and art... I love to rollerblade. I love sunny days but I hate humidity. I also love to sit and listen to the rain on the roof or watch a lightning storm, especially over the lake. My favorite flowers are purple/ magenta orchids and someday I want to have sugar gliders. What are they? Just ask... Their names wil be Jewel and Jazz... I don't really have a favorite color... when someone asks my I usually say it's the color of awesome! I do like teal a lot but I think all colors have a place, a memory or something they make me think about so they're all special... that sounds really corny, wow!Things I'd like to learn: kiteboarding, stainglass, to rock out on the keytar, to play the following instruments: steel drums, hammer dulcimer, the bodran (sp?) drum, I'd like to get my own assortment of world drums and percussion toys... like the agogo which I played in college in a drumming ensemble and many other instruments...Goals: to paint a billboard size mural with local kids, to travel, to work on a cruise ship, to live in at least 3 other countries, to start my own business someday, to become fluent in spanish and learn at least one other language, probably Italian. To learn to paint in chinese characters, have something I've made sell in multiple store in multiple cities/ states/ countries, get a small tattoo, have my music recorded, have a kick ass website, learn Flash (better), take some more in depth photo classes, have my own gallery art show, to organize a nieghborhood kid summer picnic and party, to have my business dream come true... a Bed and Breakfast Spa with an acoustic cafe, to learn more about massage, including Lomi lomi, Thai massage, energy work, to become an esthetician... more as I remember them.Bands needed to see before I die: Lifehouse Norah Jones Joss Stone Alicia Keys Amos Lee Jack Johnson Michelle Albano And to see again: Stomp Blue Man Groupmore to be added...Shows to see: Lion King on Broadway Cirque de SoleiTop countries needed to see before I die: (in random order)Ireland Dubai UAE Australia Spain England Greece Bali/ Phillipeans Thailand to learn Thai massage or ayervedic France Austria Germany Sweden Japan China Canada, Prince Edward Island... home of Anne of Green Gablesin the states: Grand Canyon mountains in CO Alaska, northern lights Space Needle Four CornersQuotes I love: (there are many) I'm a collector of quotes and alway looking forward to reading new and inspiring words or wisdom... Here's just a few The greatest thig you'll ever know is just to love and be loved in return. Love isn't when you can't live without someone... it's when you don't want to. Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle...rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be... May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. Smile, it makes those around you wonder what you're up to. DON'T frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. Give not of your time but of yourselfDid I mention I LOVE to dance!!!..

I'd like to meet:

well to list a few Audrey Hepburn, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Jack Johnson, Shirley Temple, Harriet Tubman, the inventor of Sour Patch kids. I love to meet people that have something to say.. but aren't so overly opinionated that they can't be open to new thoughts... I also think shallow people are boring... I finished my Massage degree and I've moved to do massage and be a nanny in Maui, Hawaii.. .I know.. learning Lomi lomi massage and experiencing a totally different place... I'm hoping to get the opportunity to perform my music and dabble in graphic design and photography too... I'd love to meet people from the area... all places actually... I love travel... wish i could do more... hope that's more of an option for me someday.. especially those in Hawaii, or people involved with cruise ships, or Rochester, MN or the Twin Cities.. If you're into the arts especially... music, design, photography, massage, etc. As far as a guy... well I am single because I'm super busy... I'm not out there hunting for the perfect guy.. just figure it'll happen when it's supposed to... I tend to have more guy friends than girlfriends anyway. I have found that my ambitions have intimidated a lot of guys... so fair warning in advance.. dating is nice but don't expect any head over heels drop it all commitment from me right now... I find the best people to be around are those you're close enough to that the conversations always flow, have moments of depth, sarcasm, and intimacy... but I think true friends can find comfort in the silence too.I will be living in Rochester until mid Aug... don't really know that many people... would be nice to meet some people from around here, besides I need people to practice massage on ;) Then moving... hit me up... can't wait to go and it'd be nice to know some people, especially for music stuff.

Music:

Where to start?

Movies:

Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Princess Bride, Return to Me, Napolean Dynamite, 40 Year Old Virgin, Anchor Man, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Disney and Pixar in general... The Little Princess, ... any romantic or non romatic comedies... I like almost any movies, but tend to have to be watching it with the right people or person.. for ex. I always watch old black and white movies, war movies and most action movies with my dad and/ or brother... the chick flicks mostly with the girls or the random guy that's probably just trying to impress me.. hehe jk. The Musicals usually with my mom or certain pals, and the comedies and most dramas save for just about anyone... I even like the occasional scary movie but I need to watch those with just the right person... one that'll laugh at them with me or make sure I don't have to alone in the dark afterwards. I love the theatre but also love to curl up in blankets at home and watch a good flick.. I hardly have time for this but I'd chose movies over tv anytime...

Television:

I don't watch much due to lack of time, but when I do I like to watch deisgn shows, ones that I can have on while doing other stuff.. I love to learn new tips for interior deisgn etc.. i also like to watch bios on people, dance shows.. I do like Dancing with the Stars, Americas next Top Model (attempting to tune in on the best photographers and makeup artists...) not about the modeling part really. I also like I Want That... new inventions and designs for your home etc. Yea so any chance I get I might have something on.. but I don't really get into it much, I'd rather watch movies. I have to say I love Kimpossible... watch it most days while at work (as a nanny) with the kids.. that's a fun show although i miss the old school cartoons like, Gummi Bears, Smurfs, Rainbow Bright, The Popples, Carebears, Spiderman, Garfield and the best afterschool show in the world.. Little House on the Prairie Sounds like I'm a tv buff.. honestly it's hardly ever on and if it is it's usually a design show on in the background... inspires the artist in me...

Books:

I remember the days when i could get lost in a book... lately it seems all I've got time to read are text books... it's unfortunate but I'll get back into reading soon. I did take time for Harry Potter and DaVinci Code amongst a few other biographical books. I just bought some great books on yoga, spa tachniques, and aromatherapy... hopefully I'll get done reading text books soon and can enjoy these and others... please suggestions are welcome...

Heroes:

Sounds cliche but my mom... amazing woman... ask me why if you want to know... I am inspired by many things... people who don't give up, follow their dreams, people who care for other people.. Kids are my heroes bc they make you smile without even trying.I've grown to admire my dad in my older years... such a funny guy, easy going and chill... loves me unconditionally and doesn't lecture me... There are many people in my life that have touched and inspired me in many ways... people who have big hearts, compassion, those who are and treat people the way they want to be and be treated... Those people who live and are afraid to grow... on very unattractive quality to me is someone unwilling to accept change.
