About Me

"When a wave splashes against a rock, it looks as if the wave is broken on the rock. But we're not dealing with a wave. We're dealing with an ocean. And in the end, the rock conforms to the ocean. So yes, we are broken many times, but in the end, we will overcome." ____________________________________________________________ I mix cliches often. I allow a lot of things to effect me, both good and bad. Singing is my life- classically trained but I LOVE jazz. I work in accounting. I have no idea why. I belly-laugh quite often. I have a huge smile that tends to make people comfortable around me. I'm into fashion, makeup, shoes, and overpriced Aveda hair products. I love taking pictures. I love fall leaves. I love sour patch anything. The St. Louis Arch makes me grin, as does looking into the sky and seeing the constellation "Orien". I act like I'm 10 years old whenever I see fireworks. I am a loyal friend and will always be there for you. I'm waiting to find the career of my dreams, the body I feel comfortable in, and the love of my life. Easy, right? I love singing, children and puffs plus tissues with lotion. If you haven't tried them yet, do yourself a favor and get a box the next time you have a runny nose. I love playing in the rain. The poplar street bridge is my enemy (or at least the enemy of my cars). I can't stand when people say one thing and do another. I have a hard time trusting but an easy time loving. I'm generally organized...but my room is trashed. I crave attention. I love dancing, tall boots and flowers. I love it when people show they care...in words and actions. I know how to properly hold a choir folder when singing. I think men look better in boy-blue shirts than in tuxes (only because I see men in tuxes often because of the choirs I'm in). I love the ideas behind teaching and the prestige behind wearing a suit to work in an office every day. If only they could be combined. I'm a coin toss. Every day is brand new and can be amazing or difficult but I'm ready for the challenge.

A little kid in a grown up world

Have you ever felt like that before? Like you're young and immature and you have no idea what's going on around you? A few months ago, I was at a place in my life that I hope I never get to again....
