So much to say

About Me

I'm a sophomore music major at Azusa Pacific University. I play anything from classical to pop and anything in betwen or around. I'm driven and ambitious and love to learn. Aside from that I love to laugh, have opinions, hug trees, make music, improve my ninja skills, spend time with my friends and family, and enjoy living life.

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

Music, recycling, the environment, going to the rainforest, forests in general and pretty much anything nature, crossword puzzles, crochetting, Spain, traveling, scarves and warm things of that nature, rainy days, coloring pictures, building snowmen, New York City, and cute singing boys.

Map out your future, but do it in pencil. - Bon Jovi

I'd like to meet:

Shostakovich, Smokey the Bear, and Kofi Annan.

Music:

Damien Rice, the Beach Boys, the Killers, Jars of Clay, the Imperials, Imogen Heap, and Fiona Apple.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. - Aldous Huxley


Movies:

Dead Poets Society, Finding Nemo, V for Vendetta, Fern Gully and An Inconvenient Truth.

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains. - Walt Whitman

Television:

America's New Top Model, Project Runway, What Not To Wear, and Monday Night Football.

Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work. - Gallagher

Books:

The Chronicals of Narnia, Harry Potter, The Shadow Box, anything Shakespeare, Oh the Places You'll Go, A Wrinkle in Time, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, any poetry collections, the Lorax and Everything Bad is Good For You.

The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. - Mark Twain

Heroes:

Justin Timberlake. He brought sexy back.

I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people who are convinced they are about to change the world. I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference after another. - Ellen Goodman

My Blog

Transferring thoughts (yes it's the same as the facebook one)

I hate dissapointing people. I really hate it. It's my weakness. I can't stand it at all. But here's the truth of the matter: I will never please everyone all the time. So instead of dissapointing oth...

Not one of my typical blogs, just some stuff about me.

So I went to Seattle yesterday. Kind of strange being there again and realizing the last time I was in the city all of UCO was with me but still it was great to be back there. I always forget how much...

The present is a rope stretched over the past. The secret to walking it is, you never look down. - Sean StewartFor the past few months this quote has been inspirational and encouraging to me. When I r...

Society's mold

I was thinking about tonight, or should I say now, this morning, about just how much society effects us/me. It effects every desicion we make and every choice that is given to us in life. Society is w...

On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me..... ummm....

The most horrible thing happened tonight. I was sitting in my dorm singing to myself the 12 Days of Christmas and I couldn't remember what was on the 9th day if my life depended on it. Ok so maybe not...

Joy vs. Happiness

So God has been teaching me so much lately. I have grown so much in my faith and joy in Him in these last 2 weeks. I love learning and seeing His work in my life so much. It's such a blessing. I've...

A music major by God's grace

Well it sounds like a strange subject but it is so true. For those of you who don't yet know or have not yet heard APU is stuck with me now for the next 4 years (although more like 4 1/2 to 5). I a...
