you're bad news.

About Me

my name is alyssa, and i'm pretty crazy. i tend to be dangerously sarcastic and honest, and this gets me in trouble sometimes. i think of myself as being a very nice person, but i guess you'd have to ask my friends about that! i am trying to live an authentic life; i'm striving to be a godly woman, which is probably the hardest goal i've set for myself thus far in my life. i do have a passion for living an epic life, loving with a pure, unadulterated heart, and embracing individuality. this is me [in a nutshell].

My Interests

being alive & being me. loving god. having the greatest friends and family ever. laughing. dancing on the beach late at night. writing stories & poems on receipts so i won't forget my ideas later on. taking pictures. going to school for something i love- making videos and writing scripts. traveling. airports. quilts. cold weather [snow!] so i can wear scarves. holidays like thanksgiving and christmas that make you feel all warm inside. spending time with my sister and mom. burky's [the best burger place in town]. driving alone on sunny afternoons. music. collecting fun jewelry & shoes. hugs. being original. having fun.

I'd like to meet:

people who love to live life to the fullest. my future husband [go figure]. and anyone obtaining a passion for invisible children and to write love on her arms. oh, and matt papa.

Music:

mae. lovedrug. leeland. the format. copeland. the hush sound. rilo kiley. the postal service. jack's mannequin. daphne loves derby. the shins. the fray. manchester orchestra. firefly summer. colour revolt. snow patrol. edison glass. regina spektor. death cab for cutie. baumer. the beatles. vedera. ray lamontagne. dizmas. anberlin. acceptance. sherwood. mutemath. sufjan stevens. waking ashland. iver. hillsong united. the classic crime. david crowder. augustana. campbell. rufus wainwright. the last kiss soundtrack.

Movies:

never been kissed. notting hill. the family stone. anchorman (is hilarious). and i'll admit that i love the princess diaries.

Television:

grey's anatomy. gilmore girls. ugly betty.

Books:

anything by nicholas sparks! a painted house. the glass castle. sisterhood of the traveling pants. secret life of bees. and i'm learning how to read the bible.

Heroes:
