Just another girl with a song in her head and a smile on her face...
I AM JUST LIKE YOU, THEN AGAIN NOTHING LIKE YOU...
* I AM ME...TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT...
Well let's see...
*Let's see I'm 21 years old and I live in a small little town called Owosso, Michigan.
*I just finished up my associates degree at Lansing Community College and I will be transferring next year to Grand Valley State University. My major is Forensic Science-Psych.
*MUSIC IS MY LIFE, LOVE, AND PASSION without it I don't know what I would do.
*I can usually be found at a concert or local show... I love helping with shows, going to them, and doing anything with music. Check out my music page--- (myspace.com/rockandrollsaveslives)
* I work taking care of a girl named Angie who is mentally handicap and she's amazing!!!
* I also work on volunteer things as much as I can on the side.
* I help run a non-profit organization called Meeting of the Minds. www.myspace.com/meetingoftheminds
*I love animals & have a lot of them!!!* *I'm an artist, a dreamer, a thinker, a talker, and love to learn...
*My heart is big but breaks easily
*I am usually very social but I can be REALLY shy sometimes
*I have been told that I am a lot to keep up with and can be a handful sometimes.
*And sometimes my mouth and temper get the best of me.
*I will tell you what I think....I am honest and strongly believe in what I do and if you don't like it tough cookies...However I would like to think I am very open minded, respectful of others beliefs, and will listen to what you have to say about things.
* I love to argue and debate things
* I can be very stubborn at times.
*I’m cynical, [but for good reasons], and yet optimistic for the most part. I’ve been mistreated and judged a lot in the past as everyone and it has formed me to be very outspoken and what has also been called intimidating at times as well.
*tell me what to do and i'll tell you where to go
*Don't judge me unless you want to be proven wrong.
*If you want trust earn it. If you want friendship give it...
* I am very curious and love learning new things...maybe a little ADD though...
*I have awesome hair or so I am told...
* I was raised Christian-catholic/methodist but I try to use other influences such as Buddhism in my life as well.
* From time to time I like to enjoy a nice glass of wine, lay in the grass with a good book, and listen to obscure music at top volume.
*I'm in love with trees. Everything about them...the nature,beauty, symbolism, and life giving properties of them...
* I greatly enjoy a good cup off coffee, a smoke, and a good conversation. * I believe a good cup of coffee can make your day same as a smile...
* My favorite food is my grandpas homemade Mexican.
* I am a hopeless romantic
* I can be very stubborn at times.
*Im a lover not a fighter, but theres no doubt I will fight for what I love.
* I overthink EVERYTHING!!!
* I tend to care WAY too much about other people*
* I have a HUGE obsession with hair, piercings, and tats...boys if you got it then +10 for you!!!
*I believe in gay and animal rights.
* I tend to swear like a sailor sometimes
* I am really into politics
* I have a lot of piercings, change my hair a lot, and soon will have tats...
* I have a weakness for guys who play music.
* Im a sucker for a low budget films, sappy love stories, picnics, & acoustic guitar
* I think the best way to get to my heart is through laughter, a nice smile, and a good meaningful conversation...
*I am a community volunteer and activist (I love helping people & animals).
* I smoke, and yes I know it's a bad habit *
* I love to talk and I would sit up for hours and tell you everything about me if you asked.
*I go to school, concerts, volunteer, hang out with my friends, work on art projects, write poetry, read...

My Interests

Ask me :)

I'd like to meet:

PEOPLE...good, bad, or indifferent...
kind, laid back, thought-provoking, creative, open, eccentric, odd, out of the box kinda people, artists, musicians, people who like like to talk about life and where they have been and where they would like to go...
I am very open, a dreamer, a thinker, a talker, and love to learn if you are as well we would will probably get along...:)

Music:



*Music is my life. I love all aspects of it and being around it in any way I can. If it deals with music count me in. As a side note I am always at shows...working them, booking them, or just going to rock out :)
