About Me

I'm a Cherokee-Scots-Irish-Italian-English American with a French name.I'm also an INFJ personality type which supposedly 1% of all people fall under. In other words, I'm pretty freaking special and it's scientifically proven too. ;-PAnyway, I'm naturally high on life, down-to-earth, love being a girl, gravitate towards cultural studies, and live to travel...I adore my family, enjoy silence, am scuba certified, have spurts of wild energy like a 3 year old, will eat just about anything, will dance if there's music, prefer to be warm and well-fed, have uncontrollable laugh-attacks, will brainstorm on creative projects for hours at a time, and feel that life's too short for anything but your best.I'm also pretty ambitious and currently a grad student by day/broadway performer by night and learning to edit film in between...and the best part - there's so much more.


My Interests

ly, when you snooze, you lose. Work smarter, not harder. Actions speak louder than words. Happiness is a choice. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else.

I don't watch much...can't sit still long enough. I'd rather read, listen to the radio, juice things, or be doing something that involves using my body. I wish I had the sundance channel though. I'd like that.
