I love music, fine wine, and people who make me laugh. People should laugh more. I want to sing until I am blue in the face. I am nocturnal. Two things: Music & Travel. My master plan is to answer my reason for recycling oxygen and be a touring artist. I write songs.This is what I "do". I think the tele has poisoned this generation, and confused them about what is real and what is not. I have moved more times than you would believe. The best words to describe me are 'adaptable', 'curious', 'lover', 'survivor', and 'passionate'. Boys have a habit of breaking my heart, telling me I'm too good for them, and then kicking themselves for giving me up...but at this point I'm convinced a big part of my artist' role involves the heartbreak, since it has become the fuel for my material. Some say I am a feminist but what the hell does that mean anyway? I don't have hairy armpits and I speak my mind and am comfortable not needing anyone to do any of my dirty work.No label needed really.I speak in lyrics and don't realize it. I have a hard time being around people that seem like they ate stupid cereal for breakfast. I love art and wish that my parents would have shown me more culture instead of moving me around the states every six months without explanation. I left home when I was 15 and was emancipated. I have been surviving ever since trying to keep my innocence...but really it has been gone since I left. I am young but my soul is old. I miss the friends that I have lost and am making new ones that are strong enough to find ways to live with life rather than destroying themselves. Music ...anyone like to play music?Six months ago, I left everything I thought I knew about myself behind in search of "more" and found myself in Ireland, challenging everything that I have ever known. Then, a magnet of curiousity stuck itself to me and pulled me to London where I have been living for the passed five months with pit stops to Scotland and Germany which all blew my mind. Doing this on my own enlightened me to a level that could be compared to walking around town naked on a regular basis until you can look people in the eyes without blushing. So, you could say I have finally reached a point where I am beginning to understand my own wiring instead of spending all my time trying to figure out everyone elses.I have been living out of a bag for 10 months and am the richest I have ever been. The recent past has been a time of learning whats its like to give up control, be humbled ,start anew with my thinking and search for the songs that I know are waiting to be written and heard. Europe has opened up my mind to creativity and passion for growth I couldn't have dreamed up. For the first time in my life, I can say I have found a "home" Although, I will always be moving, searching, writing, loving, crying, and questioning everything until I find someone or something to make me stop.
