About Me


Hosted at YourSpaceNow.com

**(above pictures)Headliners... dancing/sweating the past week's worries away... dancing w/ some guy named lee and another guy that just wouldn't give up...me/neesha... me and lee still dancing....haha.... headliners is definitely an interesting/fun experience! (had a blast! me and neesha ended up on stage~ then on the bar-- hell yes!) ~ the "truffle shuffle" ;) ... my boy farley... and the dynamite grooves... I grew up mostly in MS (all over), but made my way through: New Orleans, Memphis, Charlotte, and Los Angeles. My grandmother is from Dublin, Ireland and we're pretty close. A veggie, an animal lover, a friend to whomever needs one.... I enjoy helping others and give great advice- although I have trouble advising myself! I go out occasionally... I generally prefer to relax at home with a good movie or friend. Or I'll paint or write... all of these include my dog's presence. He's my love- Harley, a 6 yr old germ shep mix who's lovable, social, far too clever, and always attached at my hip-we both get separation anxiety w/o the other.I don't know what I would do without him. We used to frequent Tree People, the Laurel Canyon dog park, or the beach when we were in L.A.-but now that we're in Jackson- we like to get lost in the woods. We need a camping trip ASAP! I love learning about other cultures and religions-- and enjoy learning other languages(currently, I'm trying Spanish). I've been inspired by various religions... I don't believe there's one way to be- b/c every religion thinks their way is THE WAY...I believe that if you follow the golden rule, karma, or "harm none" mentality- then you're on the right path. "Practice random acts of kindness." I have to mention that Angelina Jolie has been and is always a steady inspiration to me in my life and on my journey into acting. I love and respect her work as a Goodwill Ambassador with the UNHCR. Hopefully, we all can be inspired to do incredible things. A great day for me includes the outdoors- but a fun night can always be as simple as beer(Newcastle), pizza, and a movie (or football--Go Panthers!) I miss Charlotte-- b/c I knew so many wonderful people there. It is such a beautiful city- we miss Reedy Creek Nature Preserve so much! Harley's first years were spent there. I love a fun game of football, a hike in the canyon,a stroll on the beach or simply sitting in silence soaking up the scenery. I'd have to say my personality is very outgoing, forward, and social. I'm the goofball among my friends- but I'm also that girl in the park sitting in silence, scrambling away on some paper.... "Anything less than extraordinary is a waste of my time. There are too many mediocre things in life and love should not be one of them."
