Mandi

I love to bargain shop. I am an avid biker. I miss swimming in the ocean. I miss my family. I am a work in progress. I love taking long showers. I always appreciate free laundry. I am learning to trust myself. I am learning to put my trust in others. I love the Twin Cities. I am moving to Denver. This makes me extremely afraid. I think I wear afraid well. I live for garage sales. I love to smile at strangers. I am amused that some people think that is odd. I give great hugs. I love thunderstorms. I sing. I need space. I don't remember who I was four years ago, but I love her anyway. I want to be a poet. I wish I was more adventurous. I am a jeans and t-shirt girl. I am learning to hold myself accountable. You should too. I love books, even if I don't read them. I know that truth is relative; I am looking for mine. I think about change and wonder how to get there. I dream in Technicolor. I love to dance. I wonder who thinks of me before they go to bed. I don't drink. I strive to perform random acts of kindness. I find God in the little things. I love fresh fruit. I am a picky eater. I sometimes wish I was more feminine. I have a secret love affair with the 21 bus route. I am a cheap date. I adore cheap bookstores. I am horribly indecisive. I want to travel. I look more like my mother the older I get. I have a Mac despite myself. I shop at Walmart despite four years at Macalester. I love natural sunlight. I am devoted to recycling. I love to eat. I wish I had time to read more without deconstructing what it meant. I want to get married. I think cooking is a form of therapy. Bright colors bring me joy. I used to want to be an interior decorator. I almost became a forensic scientist. I am now an artist. I think there is power in silence. I am at times very loud and obnoxious. I am still looking for home. I think about you sometimes. I occasionally suffer from insomnia. I want children. I need to floss more. I like long walks. I collect candles. I love antiques. I would take hard wood floors over closet space. I am about to have my first apartment. Music is essential to life. Even country. I struggle with vulnerability. I don't want to leave the family I have built here. I don't really have a choice. I haven't been to church as often as I would like recently. I am ashamed I only think to talk to God when things aren't going well. I am glad he lets that slide and loves me anyway. I don't think a six year gap is that big a deal. I sometimes feel juvenile nonetheless. I don't keep a large group of close friends. I think its because I moved so much as a child. You remind me of who I want to be. I procrastinate like its my job. I want to work with youth. I worry about our education system. I still have faith in the future of this country. I live for Quiznos and White Cheddar Cheez-Its. I am a photographer. Minnesota has made me alot more Green than Ill ever admit publicly. I don't do tofu or soy. I trace my heritage to Cape Verde by looking at my mother. I wonder what that means to me. My Dad is serving in Iraq. What does that mean to you? I feel that this might be getting a little long. I think that you are still reading anyway. I am reverent of history. I am grateful for painful experiences, but only after the fact. I still hope you don't hurt me. I love to bake. I-pods are slightly frightening. I wish people talked to each other more often, and more openly. I am voting for Obama. I am learning how to date casually. I don't know how I feel about it yet. I am realizing that contradictions exist. I like to walk in the rain. I am growing my hair natural so I can do that without fear. I was born into Jazz. I never wear make-up and don't paint my nails. Football ( tackle ) is my favorite sport. A good game of chess can be extremely sensual. I am on my way to a place I have never been. I am creating a world for myself and learning how to live in it. I am learning how to do me gracefully and without apology. Let me know how I am doing... MyWackoSpace MySpace Icons Icons Collage Photo Collage MySpace Graphics
