About Me


I'm special just like everyone else ;)
Okay, so far this is what I have come up with. : ) As a kid I was always a ‘tom-boy’ and so far, I have not seemed to have grown out of it much. I prefer to spend my time out side, seeing new things ... I have never really been someone to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror or clothes shopping. I’m a simple kind of girl.
BUT, Although… I prefer to just wear a pair of good'ol'jeans, I do love to get dressed up occasionally.... I love the whole ‘shock and awe’ effect, lol. ;) I guess there is some girly-girl thrown in my adventuresome/carefree side after all, hehe.
I love to swim! If I could have a 'super power' I would want to breath under water! In Hawaii... you couldn't get me out of the water! (Random fact: my name means 'of the ocean'... which I find pretty cool) I also like to hike, jog, HORSE BACK RIDE and play sports...but lately my knee has been giving me issues ...so I am trying to sneak back into the routine of being active. I am a vegetarian.... except for fish. I do miss meat..and can cook some killer meat dishes for others... BUT I can't help but feel like a jerk while eating a tasty steak ... I keep thinking of a cute baby calf and their big brown eyes and thick eye lashes... so basically I've stopped eating anything I cant kill myself...no matter how good it tastes.
FRIENDS are important to me, I know a lot of people but only call a very small handful ‘close-friends’. I enjoy knowing a lot of people and running into people I know but I only ‘deeply’ open my heart to a few.
My FAMILY is also really important to me. One of my favorite things is simply standing around with my cousins and goofing around, laughing and making jokes about the most random things. I am very blessed by my family and would not be who I am without them. My mom and I are pretty close, I love to make her laugh and although we hardly ever get to spend time together, I truly feel like I could tell her most anything and she would be supportive. I guess, having me for a daughter has pretty much tested her nerves and I get used to her rolling her eyes at me ;)
TRAVELING and meeting new people is also very important to me. I am a bit of a gypsy and seem to get restless easily. Every time I step into an airport my heart rate goes up and my mouth curls into a big goofy grin, for me, it just feels right to be in an airport ;)
...well, for the moment I'm out of 'interesting' things about myself ...so.... If you want to get to know me.... just talk to me :)

I have a pretty wide variety, but yet am pretty picky __________
As far as making music....Some day I would like to say that I could play the guitar and sing and 'create' music ....but I think that will be the day that I die. ...Till then I will horribly try :)

Movies:

I tend to like comedy, and action... with a little bit of romance thrown in there...just for kicks. :)
__________

Television:


I really don't even know how to switch the channels on my TV..so needless to say... I really don't watch it. BUT I have been known to watch Scrubs, LOST, SNL, The Office, House, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and of couse you can't forget... Funniest Home Videos! :)
__________

Books:

--
Blue Like Jazz , Searching for God knows what, The Screwtape Letters, Anything by Christopher Moore, Peaceful Warrier, Harry Potter Series, Captivating, A long walk to remember, Lord of the Rings, Deadline, ..."The dairies of Adam and Eve" ..by Mark Twain.
I also try to put time aside to read some of the 66 books of wisdom, instruction and guidance all located in the Bible.
___________

Heroes:


Christ, 'Every knee shall bow'...I think that probably is the ultimate Hero qualification. ;)
My Grandmother, Petra, is also pretty admirable: She is such a strong, stubborn go-get-er. And I know that she is praying for me and our loved ones every single day...and I take it for granted.

It is certain, but that is all.

They say that two things are certain, death and taxes. ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I guess that that may be true, although I have managed to avoid taxes a...
