About Me

hi, my name is laura. if you'd like to get into my brain a little bit, go visit www.sunshinebutterflygirl.blogspot.com.
i have a BEAUTIFUL 9 year old daughter, who is my everything. i have a very small family...minimal in numbers, but i love them all dearly. i have the best group of friends i could ever ask for. most have been in my life since high school - even some from jr. high. we are still very close and lean on each other for so much. i would give my life for each and every one of them. i have acquired several new friends in the past few years that i feel the exact same way for as well. i am not the type of person to have many acquaintances. i can be shy when out of my element, or completely at ease in a comfortable environment. i am an open book - you can ask me anything.
i play indoor and outdoor soccer. i adore the game. it is my passion and gives me the drive i need in my life. i'm not an aggressive person by nature, but soccer is a whole other story. i am very passive, understanding and loyal. i have recently become a "beadstress" and you can check out my work at sunshinebuttrflygirl.etsy.com or check out my first friend in my top friends.
i consider myself a liberal in politics, but i am supporting ron paul as a presidential candidate. if ron doesn't make it, my second choice is barack obama. we need a change desperately.
i don't like to shop. i don't like diamonds or fancy jewelry. i live my life as drama free as possible and i can not stand gossip. i don't like shoes. if it were up to me, i'd wear flip flops the entire year (and to work too if they'd let me). i'm a corporate hippie and personal hygiene is a must for me. i have an amazing job, which is allowing me the opportunity of the growth i've been looking for.
with all of that stated, if it were up to me, i would be living in austin or someplace of the sort. i was born and raised in dallas and have lived here all my life, but i've never felt like i have "fit in" here. it is my home and always will be, but mark my words, when the timing is right, i will no longer be a dallas resident.
i'm learning how to play the acoustic guitar. it's a slow process for me because it's not coming very naturally, but i'm determined to learn. my music tastes are all over the place. i love anything from jambands to blues to folk to indie to new age to classic jazz to classical to bossa nova to soul/r&b to alternative to new wave. not a huge country fan, metal or gangster rap. i appreciate the genres, but none of it is to my liking. i take that back, i don't appreciate gangster rap at all. i think it's disgraceful and horrid....but that's just me. i do however, like old country and bluegrass. i actually just bought "tao of willie" at the book store this past weekend and plan on delving into that soon.
i have become quite a homebody. i enjoy going out with friends to a bar every so often, but i'd much rather spend quiet evenings at home. i think i've just outgrown the whole bar scene.
i'm sure there's more about me i could go into, but i'm at a loss after all that, so if you want to know, feel free to ask.
~ peace ~
.. You scored as One Intelectual Individual. You're a thinker. You see things from a very different prospective than the rest of the world, and probably find release and self-expression in music, painting, scalpting, or any other form of art. People see you as a deep person, full of knowledge that they don't understand. People are attracted to that, but there's a good chance you don't care.
