About Me



Layout by CoolChaserabout me I never really know what to say about myself. I'm adventurous, spontaneous, and sometimes a little crazy. Once I get to know you, I can get kind of loud. If you can't deal with that, then I probably can't deal with you. I love driving. I love music. I love books. I'm a nerd at heart. I tend to be a very understanding person. If I care about you, I'll go to retarded lengths to help you out- just don't take advantage of that. I believe in second chances. I believe in fate. I think I believe in the good in everyone...at least I'm trying to. I love to laugh and to make people laugh. I do my own thing most of the time, which tends to get me labeled as being kinda "weird". I'm really okay with that. I love random phone calls and text messages. I love road trips, and if there's no particular destination in mind, I love them more. The 80's were pretty much the best time on Earth, and I'm pretty much in love with everything from that decade. As understanding and patient as I try to be, I have no patience whatsoever for stupidity and laziness. (Not knowing something doesn't make you stupid.) I love going to the bar, but I'm not there every day. I'm smart. I'm fun. I'm honest. If you want to know anything else, just ask.
..quotes..
Some people say forgive and forget. Nah, I don't know. I say forget about forgiving and just accept.
Sometimes I think that we love someone so much that we're numb to it, because if we really felt how much we loved that person, it would kill us .
Speak your mind even if your voice shakes.
Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts - that hope always triumphs over experience - that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death
Break the rules, stand apart. Ignore your head, and follow your heart ..
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Here's to the men we love
Here's to the men who love us
And if the men we love don't love us
Then fuck the men and here's to us (to all my girls..hell yeah!)
You can't be old and wise if you were never young and crazy.
You are never given the ability to wish, without getting the ability to make it come true.
The risk takers might not live long, but the cautious never live at all
Never underestimate the pain of a person because the truth is .. everyone is struggling ..it's just that some people handle it better than others.
This is for the girls who have left sad song lyrics in their away messages; who have tried to make someone understand through a subliminally appealing profile; who have time and time again dropped their male friend hint after hint after hint only to watch him chase after the first blonde girl in a skirt.
This is for the girls who have been told that they're too good or too smart or too pretty; who have been given compliments as a way of breaking off a relationship; who have ever been told they are only wanted as a friend...
this is for the girls who have been used;
who have endured what he was giving, because at least he was giving something;
this is for the stupidity of the nights we've believed that something was better than nothing, even though his something was nothing
this is for the girls who have been satisfied with too little & who have learned to never expect anything more
spend your time with your friends
live for the moment and laugh often
be immature, do anything and everything
and if it's something you'll regret in the morning
sleep late and when you wake up
laugh about it with your friends..
You might not be his first, his last, or his only. He..s cared about someone else before and possibly will again, but if he cares for you now, then what else matters? He's not perfect and you aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect, but if he can make you laugh at least once, hold onto him & give him the most you can. He is probably not going to quote poetry, he might not be thinking about you every second of the day, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break. So don't hurt him, don't change him & don't expect more than he can give. Don't over analyze, smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there.
"quit masturbating so i can shoot."
you'll never leave where you are, until you decide where you would rather be..
C0NFiDENCE is the inner voice that says you're becoming what you're capable of being.
&& if it comes from the heart the decision is never wrong
The sun's going to shine and the rain's going to fall . In the end you might get burnt or wet, but hey, that's life . So dance in the puddles and bathe in the sun, and at the end of the day, smile ; Everything's going to be alright.
Who are you to judge the life I live Im not perfect & I dont live to be. So before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.
When the pain is great enough, we will let anyone be doctor
All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Well behaved women rarely make history.
As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going
No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.
Just close your eyes and pretend theres no such word as never
you learn alot about people when you listen to the songs that mean something to them.
To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail.
There comes a point in your life when you realize that nothing will ever be the same & you realize that from now on time will be divided into two parts ;; before this & after this.
If you have enough breath to complain about anything you have more than enough reasons to give thanks about something

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Down to earth, friendly people who don't have anger issues and don't like to start drama. Honest people. People who I can learn from. Amy Lee. Roseanne. Gwen Stefani. Angelina Jolie. I'd have loved to meet Walt Disney.

My Blog

I don't know what to do now.

On Wednesday, I had to put my cat to sleep. She was 18 years old and her heart was failing. Everyone keeps telling me "18 years is a long time to have a cat" like that's somehow supposed to make me fe...

So there was this gynocologist

and he was really tired of dealing with malpractice insurance and HMO's and just..the whole deal. He started thinking maybe he'd rather choose another profession where he used his hands. He decides he...

What for?

Maybe it's because I've been up for way too long. Maybe it's because deep down inside I'm just a child who wants to flail at the world while screaming about how unfair it all is. But I look at my life...

Nothing gets crossed out

I guess it's been a while since I posted anything on here. Part of that would be because I haven't really BEEN on here in a while, not on a computer anyway. I keep thinking that I've been busy, but re...

One day you wake up

laying on a horribly uncomfortable wrestling mat, and the guard is yelling your name because it's your turn to go before the magistrate, and you think to yourself "Damn, how did I get here?". Not in j...

The injustice of it all

I'd really like to know why it is that the good people are the ones who get hurt the most. I'm not talking about myself here. Yes, I've had some tough times in my life, and maybe I've been through som...
