TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE. - Shakespeare

About Me

Note: Since my myspace site has been hacked and I fell victim to an imposter, I have had to remove most of my blogs and photos -- most of which were very personal. If you have questions or comments, please send me a message and I will try to reply as soon as I can.
My dearest Grandma recently passed away... I am distraught that she's not with me anymore, but I know she is in a better, safer, more beautiful place.
SHE SMILES
by Mama JANET
"She smiles down from the heavens
Because she is finally home...
May her soul rest in God's loving peace.
Amen.

(Thank you, Mama J!)

I miss you, Grandma... I love you... forever.
I'm an average jill trying to do extraordinary things. I have numerous goals, it's just impossible to keep track! Most of my goals involve family, friends, and children. I have huge dreams, but I enjoy the simple things in life.
I'm an old soul, spiritual, contemplative, and passionate about things i believe in. I write a lot, but i speak my mind when i have to, hoping to God i make sense when i do.
I'm artsy fartsy, dorky, and have excellent taste in friends (view my friends' pages, too!). I try to always see the good in people even if I've just met them. I am very easy to get along with, and I LOVE TO LAUGH! A LOT!
In a nutshell, i'm a lot friendly & a lil' INSANE! That's me. Take it or leave it. *wink*
You Are an Old Soul
TAKE THE QUIZ! You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition. Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone. Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient. A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people. You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends. A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others. Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone. But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away. Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior and Visionary

My Interests

great causes like TOMS, literature, film, tv, music, art, italian food, chocolate!, tea, silence, word games, cartoons, scrapbooks, traveling, dreaming, alone time, writing, looking at old photos, night time, body massages, learning about Renaissance writers/ artists/ philosophers like Botticelli, Da Vinci, Kierkegaard, etc.

I'd like to meet:


"Thou sovereign of my heart treasured in the deepest fastness of my chest, in the fullness of my thought, there ... unknown divinity! Oh, can I really believe the poet's tales, that when one first sees the object of one's love, one imagines one has seen her long ago, that all love like all knowledge is rememberance, that love too has its prophecies in the individual. ... it seems to me that I should have to possess the beauty of all girls in order to draw out a beauty equal to yours; that I should have to circumnavigate the world in order to find the place I lack and which the deepest mystery of my whole being points towards, and at the next moment you are so near to me, filling my spirit so powerfully that I am transfigured for myself, and feel that it's good to be here."
~ from Kierkegaard's JOURNALS ~
