Living well is the best revenge.

About Me

My name is Gabrielle. Or Gabby... whichever you prefer. I'm pretty much just a good kid for the most part. I hang on to genuinely good people the best I can. All I want to do in life is experience life with the ones I love. I give off the wrong impression all the time. But if you take the extra time you might just like me! So try and get to know me more before you make any assumptions. You know what they say... "Assuming makes an ass out of you and me."
I also have a Livejournal and a Facebook. If you're my friend and you have them let me know and we'll be friends on all three!! :)

My Interests

puppies, TRAVELING, "good" shows/concerts, music, rocking out, dancing, manual car washes, super nintendo, eating food, making food, contemplating the universe, playing in the snow, texas hold 'em, building forts, random expeditions, broomball, MAC make up, going to the mountains, exploring, rock climbing, making camp fires, feeding the ducks, camping, intellectuals, musicians, gentlemen, quirkiness, and just hanging out with genuine people who have their own identity.

I'd like to meet:

Not random ass dudes on myspace. PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE ME I AM TAKEN AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU. I want to meet people with similar interests who are smart, funny, interesting, and adventurous. I wish I knew more genuinely good people. Seems like they are few and far. Anyone who can hold down a decent non-surface level conversation is cool in my book.

Music:


I go through phases with music the ones in bold are consistantly among my favorites the rest are just music I have, had previously, or still do appreciate... these are in no particular order, have you....... Tears for Fears, Morrissey, The Cars, The Shins, Bob Marley, The Beach Boys, Armor for Sleep, Duran Duran, DEAN MARTIN, Underoath, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Hot Hot Heat, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Pedro the Lion, RILO KILEY, From First to Last, Horse the band, Death Cab for Cutie, Circa Survive, THE POSTAL SERVICE, AGAINST ME, SAVES THE DAY, Elliot Smith, Mandy Moore, The Faint, The Cure, Grandaddy, the Mars Volta, Thursday, the GET UP KIDS, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, the Pixies, the RX BANDITS, Interpol, the Strokes, Belle and Sebastian, Coldplay, At the Drive-In, Something Corporate, Elvis Presley, Midtown, New Found Glory, Dashboard Confessional, The Ataris, Fenix Tx, Owen, Bright Eyes, The Early November, 50 cent, SADE, Spitalfield, Say Anything, Christina Aguilera, Mae, Frou Frou, The Format, Plain White T's, Hidden in Plain View, DAPHNE LOVES DERBY, Anberlin, Oasis, Usher, Sixpence None the Richer, COPELAND, The Transplants, Pharrel, Bayside, Acceptance, Norma Jean, Paramore, FRANK SINATRA, RANDY TRAVIS, PAM TILLIS, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Styx, Led Zeplin, Mickey Avalon, J-timb, Sublime, Nancy Sinatra, The Bird and The Bee, Peaches, The Higher, CARTEL, The Click Five, Feist, Allison Krauss, Gym Class Heroes, anything Jenny Lewis touches, Kanye West, The Starting Line, The Helio Sequence, Thao and the Get up Get Down, Thievery Corporation, Grand Ole Party....

Television:

DEGRASSI! (I'm so gay and I know it, stfu!), Run's House, Hogan Knows Best, The Girls Next Door, and Everyday Italian.

Books:

I don't really read. I rarely read a book. I usually tend to "skim" through books that aren't factual. They go way too far into detail about things I don't care to read about so I like to skip parts. I never follow characters. I really would like to start reading so I can hold semi-intellectual conversations with other people who read books... but until then I guess I'm stuck with the only few books I can recall that have held my attention long enough to read it in its entirety. The Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe, The Left Behind Series, The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, Haunted and Fight Club...

Heroes:

Just the everyday people who have high standards for themselves, and those they surround themselves with. And Jenny Lewis. Pretty much anyone who gets paid to do something cool like make "laser cats" videos for SNL. I am incredibly jealous and I will be there one day.

I wanna see what the camera sees

The camera has no judgement so therefore it can see more but since it can not make judgement it cannot see.  I guess we’d have to define see.  Eyes or Brain?Reflect upon the movie What...

Cats and Dogs

I wish men and women wouldn’t have such big blocks in communication.  We aren’t raised to understand one another.  It’s so hard to understand a man’s point of view.&n...

surgery

So I had a class 8 melanoma.  3 more months and I would have been in the serious "you could die" cancer stage.  So they removed the cancer.  It was about the size of a golf ball taken f...
