I am a born and bred southern debutante. My mother's a hippie and my daddy's a grease monkey. I don't ever take the "just have faith" answer, I want facts.
I am fidgety and energetic, eccentric and a little wild;
my mind changes on a dime, try to keep up.
I love the woods and waking up at 6:30 in the morning.
My first love is my dog, my second; my trucks and quad.
I am a creative and old soul, and relish in the positive vibes of Mother Earth. I am vegetarian and love to make a mess, but a clean freak. I try to make my days here bearable through laughter and good times. I don't take too much seriously.
I love getting inked, drawing, turning wrenches, discussing theories, taking drives to no particular place, and huge social gatherings.
I am always up for new things and grand adventures, just give the word and I'm there.
War, children, it's just a shot away.
Blowing wishes in the Alps, Switzerland.
TO PLAY IT SAFE,
IS NOT TO PLAY.

Fuck with me, bad idea.
Fuck with my sister. .ha. Nice knowing you, bitch!
There are but two tragedies in life:
One is to lose your heart's desire. .
The other is to gain it.
"Tiny kids are gathered in a doorway, like all kids that age. Just the sight of them makes you smile; they are so curious and playful. I'm the newest person so they are testing me out, coming close and then backing away. I'm not sure how to break the ice, so I draw a silly picture in my notebook and show it to them."

"After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open;
With the grace of a woman,
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
can burn if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure. . .
that you really are strong. . .
And you really do have worth. . .
And you learn and learn. . .
With every goodbye, you learn."
-Veronica Schoffstall, 1971

dad, for his infinite wisdom and courage. he makes me proud with every day of sobriety.
mom, for her satisfaction with life, even in hard times. she reminds me to stop and smell the roses and not to sweat the small stuff.
