About Me


Create Your Own!I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. There I said it. That used to scare me, I've learned not to be so scared of the unknown and to let go and just go with the flow (for some things). I've worked some interesting jobs since leaving law school doing collections takes a lot of patience, and I think that I've used up all of mine! Now I"m working for Farmers and while some phone conversations may not be pleasant they are in general, far more pleasant than mortgage collections! I've learned a lot since I left law school, I've learned there are some things you do and people you hurt that you cant take back. That even though you think youre doing the right thing it can hurt someone you care about more than you can really say. But that at the end of the day its sometimes the best thing for both of you. Then you find out later that you are both SO much better off and you know that it was the right thing to do.I've learned that sometimes you reach your bull sh*t threshold and there is no going back. Sometimes its better to just cut the cord and quit caring because the people you were caring about don't care about you. I've learned you can find happiness in the most unexpected places (like friends wedding receptions!) and that being that happy can make even the most heartbreaking situations bearable. Sometimes all you need in life is your friends around you to keep all the bad things and people in your life in perspective.************************************************ ****************************************************** There is a subject I love....***my friends. ************************************************************ ************************ ...there are my friends that I've had since elementary school, those kids are precious to me (and know all my stories and require no explanation for any late night phone calls, sober or not). Most but not all of those people are included in my high school friends, and the ones that didn't attend elemenatary school with me might as well have because they were there for all the stories and know what I mean when I say the words "kitchen talks". ************************************************************ ************************ My undergrad friends rock my socks off, especially the ones I studied aboad with, and my AXO sisters, all irreplaceable and a darn good time! Its amazing how strong a friendship can become when you live in a house with girls (and guys, cause lets be honest I slept at Kappa Sig a lot more than AXO!) for over 3 years.

My Interests

I love to hang out with my friends, I am generally surrounded by at least 3 other people and we are probably laughing or talking loudly. I like to read books (i'm a nerd, I'll admit it). I like to listen to music, drive around Kansas City and Lawrence, talk on the phone, watch movies or just go on long walks. I love to be around people and to do things that I know will make people happy, random cards or cookies are kind of typical from me.....I love LOVE LOVE to travel, these are some pictures I took when I was in Harlaxton, England...I'm kinda proud of them to be honest.....

Your Seduction Style: Sweet Talker
Your seduction technique can be summed up with "charm"
You know that if you have the chance to talk to someone...
Well, you won't be talking for long! ;-)

You're great at telling potential lovers what they want to hear.
Partially, because you're a great reflective listener and good at complementing.
The other part of your formula? Focusing your conversation completely on the other person.

Your "sweet talking" ways have taken you far in romance - and in life.
You can finess your way through any difficult situation, with a smile on your face.
Speeding tickets, job interviews... bring it on! You truly live a *charmed life* What Kind of Seducer Are You?

I'd like to meet:

I've been lucky enough to meet some amazing people in my life. I have the best friends anyone could EVER ask for, and then to top it off I have the worlds best boyfriend. He takes the time to remember that I like a little bit of ice in my water, but never in restraunts, rubs my back and does the sweet little things that mean the world to me. He decorated my living room like a "jungle" for our first Valentines day since we were going to stay home and watch Lost on DVD. He tells me every day that he loves me and in the whole time I've known him has not ever done anything to make me question what a fantastic man he is. I've never been so content and happy in my life....

Music:

If I can sing along to it I'm good to go....I love Joss Stone....I like it all, especially country!

Movies:

I love funny movies that I can get one liners from.... Monty Python, Wedding Crashers, Old School, things like that. I won't lie about it I do like chick flicks and any guy who will watch them with me scores major points, at the same time I love Boondock Saints, Friday Night Lights, Fight Club and other "guy" movies so I'm not a total lost cause!

Television:

I love television on DVD.....no commercials, no cliffhangers and you can stop it at any point and come back when the mood strikes....really what more do you need??

Books:

Jane Green, Marian Keyes, Dan Brown, historical fiction, biographies on people who ruled countries, books set in London or Ireland are generally a pretty big hit with me....

Heroes:


MyHeritage : Family trees - Genealogy - Celebrities - Collage - Morph
I don't have any one specific hero aside from my mother. She worked her butt off my whole life to make sure I had everything I needed. She makes me want to be a better person and to make her proud in everything I do. She has always supported me and told me to be the best that I could be, no matter what the cost.This quote sums up what she has taught me thus far in life........................................................ ........................................................ "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone.And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Nelson Mandela
