"I can often be distracted by love...but eventually I get horny for my creativity." - Gilda Radner

I love my family and friends...they play a supplemental role in who I am and I appreciate everything about them.
I love the arts and music. Writing to painting, singing in my car to air guitar, they keep me going. I try to make "me" time with my painting/drawing, reading and writing when I get the chance.
I'm a full-time journalism student with a focus on political science, going for my master's this fall. I work a lot, study a lot but love a good nap and vegging out when I can and I do so with my friends and boyfriend of 6 years, Andy. I love traveling, too, and do it as often as my pocket change allows. :)
I love all music, all kinds of people and essentially enjoy life.
My Lucy...so silly!

"...Do not lose heart! The steeper the road, the faster it will rise toward ever wider horizons..." - JP2

Pope John Paul II is a very influential person to me and his teachings are incredible. If you get the chance to read any of his literary works (poetry, ethics, theology, daily living, etc.) do it! His work is astonishing and inspiring!

Anyone from go-getters to slackers, writers to readers and everything else. Absolutely anyone that fascinates me, which doesn't take much. Also, you have to be able to stand my ridiculously disgusting sense of humor. :)

My Blog

A toast...to more sleepless nights!

On the bright side, this blog doesn't look to be near as depressing as the other one. Hopefully that little plague of bad self esteem stays away as it is at the moment, and doesn't creep up on m...

No one buys a broken vase, no matter how beautiful it looks.

Life...Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue.

A simple, understandable title such as this would leave one to believe there are an array of problems I'm going to address and vent about. But this is untrue. I should be more specific when I de...
