I am here for Friends

About Me


"Dream as if you'll live forever...
live as if you'll die today."
~James Dean
I'm a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
Phenomenal, not perfect. I have many faults. The most annoying flaw to my character would have to be the fact that I tend to analyze a situation and then analyze it again, and again... which makes me hestitant to ACT, or procrastinate until it's possibly too late TO act. Maybe it's a fear developed by the years of heartache and disapointments. Or, maybe it stems from an independence that is both challenging and rewarding, and yet comfortable.
I'm not sure, I'm still analyzing it. lol
My friends tell me that I can be funny (sometimes) that I'm a genuine, no-nonsense, "Tell it like it IS" woman, and that I have "terrible taste in men". (nice friends, eh?) Of course I say I just haven't met the "One" yet, and can't possibly be the "jerk magnet" that they think I am.
Sometimes, I wonder. lol
So, obviously, I'm not afraid of letting my sarcastic personality shine. (in other words, I'm a smart ass!)...but at least I can take it as well as I dish it out. I'm a very sentimental person. I have "treasures" that date back to 1968. (gulp) And thanks to mom, I have photos that precede my birth. I'm moody, stubborn and can be a little bitchy if my buttons are pushed...(so don't push them!)
To pay the bills I'm an oral surgeon's assistant/office manager... As a hobby, I'm a former photographer who turned her career into a hobby of scrapbooking...I love the creative release it gives me. Web design (ok, myspace editing) has become pretty addicting as well, and photo manipulation (fun stuff!).
My stress reliever in life is poetry... I call 501's and a t-shirt FASHION!...I drive a Mustang.
(Yes, I'm being careful, Mom, hehe)
I enjoy good books, movies, MUSIC and REAL people...I love the summer and everything about it...
I have a pretty serious condition called OBCD.
If you have to ask, you don't have it. I must warn you tho, it can be very contagious... isn't that right, Steph? lol
I believe that a person can never have too many friends in a lifetime, but it's more important to have at least one TRUE friend in my corner at all times ...
Your best friend isnt the person who bails you out of jail, they are the one whos sitting next to you saying... that shit was fucking awesome!
I believe in KARMA, 110%!
As kids we're told to "treat others like you'd like to be treated", and I live my life with that in mind, heart and soul. I truly believe that what you give is what you get back in life, and in Love. "What comes around, goes around." So true.
I treat everyone I meet with respect, and would do absolutely anything for the ones I love. Life is too short to make enemies., and I don't have time or energy for revenge.
Besides... Karma will get them for me!
Most importantly, I take pride in my relationship with my son and feel truly blessed to be a mother. Everything I am is because of him, and he will always come first. I make decisions that affect both our lives with serious caution and consideration.
I love you, not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.
~ Abigail Van Buren
Your children will become what you are;
so be what you want them to be.
~ David Bly
My wish for you...
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go,And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile...
But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And you always give more than you take...
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish. I hope you know somebody loves you, May all your dreams stay big!
"Shouldn't be so complicated, just hold me and then just hold me again" ~ Rob Thomas
Passion makes the world go round.
Love just makes it a safer place.
A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad.
An optimist is a man who HOPES they are.
"There's no such thing as the perfect soulmate. If you meet someone and you think they're perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction 'cause your soulmate is the person that pushes your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis and makes you face your shit." ~ Madonna
"Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
~ Marianne Williamson, "A Woman's Worth"
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind."
~ Dr. Seuss

My Interests


Going to the river, writing, reading, photography, poetry, music, game nights, movies, scrapbooking, hanging out with friends, surfing the net, photo manipulation, playing pool, concerts & events...

The simple pleasures in life...
Kissing, the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, laughing, talking to a friend, watching the sunset, lazy afternoons, romantic evenings, riding my bike, having ice cream on a hot summer day, people watching, telling a successful joke, swimming, walking on the beach, hot bubble baths, chocolate ... this list could go on Forever.

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
~ Nora Roberts

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.

I'd like to meet:


Hmm, gonna have to think about this one!
I've met who I was hoping to meet, and can say without a doubt that (in person) he is every bit as genuine, sweet, funny and absolutely gorgeous, as everyone says he is.

So really, since it's MYpage, I'm going to change it to
"Who I'd like to see again" ... ;)

"Thrill me. Please me. Surprise me. Give me everything I want, and nothing I need. Give me days to remember, and nights I'll never forget. Give me sexy. Give me you." ~ Victoria Secret models

Another favorite of Bucky & Rocky ~ Thanks, Kathy!

A very heartfelt "Thank you" to all the awesome photographers (aka fans, CB's, stalkers) who captured these awesome shots for me to "embellish" ... :)

Passion + Creativity + a touch of insanity =

Hi, Tracy!
Just got something fun in my email--a couple of the very kind ladies from the Fox boards thought Bucky might get a kick out of the CD covers, so they put them all together in a binder and a CD for him, and your beautiful "Living the Dream" blend was used for the cover. Looks like Bucky and I agree on how cool your art is--look at that smile!

Winnie (Buckymania)

Now I ask... How freakin COOL is that?? :)~
Thanks to my fellow Buckaneers... you rock!

Whoever borrowed my car ...
please return it by morning and there will be no questions asked.
oK, thanks. ;)

Music:



Give me anything rock from the 70's and 80's and I can probably sing along... :)
(I may not sing it well, and mess up a lyric or two... lol, but I know it)

Bucky's cd is doing great on the charts ~
Please keep requesting!

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
~Ludwig van Beethoven

Movies:



Every once in awhile there is a movie that MUST be seen on the big screen to get the intended full effect, but one of my favorite things to do is browse the video store, or flip through the movie channels and cuddle on the couch to a good flick!

Television:



Tv ... it's the meaning of true RnR on a chilly Oregon night. (not to mention a good time to get my snuggle time with Jakester during Friday Night Lights and talk about his life in high school, which is "ONLY 4 years away" ya know? lol)

Books:


"Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time." - Dean Koontz

Heroes:


My Heroes in life:
*Dear ol' Dad
For Everything he is.
*Jakester
For reminding me everyday what Life is about, teaching me how to be a Kid again, and for giving me the courage to strive for our Dreams.
Love you, Punkin xxxooo
Every single day, with every single breath I take, I am thankful for the people in my life. YOU, keep me "sane". (yeah ok, let's not go there! lol)

"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, "you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty."
~Jeff Foxworthy
* My friends
For knowing the words of my song.
"A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails."
~Donna Roberts
*Myself
For never giving up.
On anything.
"The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.
~Author Unknown
*People who know Love
Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is an irresistible desire to be
irresistibly desired.
~ Robert Frost
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
"I've learned that leadership is a good thing, but every now and then you have to look behind you to make sure people are following you...
Otherwise, you're just taking a walk."
~Dennis Johnson DMD
(aka, my boss)
We never truly appreciate the people in our lives until it's too late and they're gone. It's only then when we feel their absence that we realize what we've lost."
~ Stephanie
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the gate safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting:
"Holy shit ... what a ride!"
