About Me


PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME YOUR MESSENGER SCREEN NAME, I DONT DO IM'S I ONLY USE MYSPACE EMAIL
I am not your avarage myspace plastic poser girl here...
*********************************************************NO PHOTOS, NO INFO, HIDDEN PROFILE, NO ADD...please respect if I don't clearly see WHO you are on your profile I can't add mystery guests, I've had some problems w/that Like the saying goes, one bad apple on the tree makes you weary of the others. If you're married etc. please don't add me unless your partner is OK with myspace..you all know we can do without jelaousy games, I am not here to be on Jerry Springer, I am here to meet good people. I have been with my boyfriend Doug for a year and we're both in the best relationship of our lives so I am not interested in any "offers"...leave that to the godfather lol. But I am NOT the type of person who shuts the rest of the world out if I am in a relationship like nothing else exists. I do just the opposite...I embrace others just as much...don't make your life limited to only one person when there are so many great connections to make, so much life to absorb!!
NOW....Thanks for stoppin @ my page! As you can see I prefer that my photos stay tasteful because I am not here to be a part of the myspace skin show or popularity contest. I don't live at the tanning salon, drive an SUV with a cellphone stuck to my ear, w/oversized sunglasses on my face like I'm a celebrity. (There's something to be said for originality these days...)I'm not originally from Utah (if you met me, you'd be able to tell) I am only here to help my mom out. I miss the east coast, where people were friendly and always ready to help out. to sum Utah up with a few words "A brand new car for every kid, double standards, bad food and why the hell is everyone so nosy?" I'm trying to fit in as best I can, and maybe with the help of cool myspacers like you, I can :)
My friends all accept the fact that I don't have to get drunk to have a good time or act like a fool to attract and keep attention. Sorry, I don't go clubbing either, I'd rather keep my skin covered and just hang out with friends instead. That's not to say I haven't live life, either...keep reading...
Life is all about reality for me...it's about growing up poor and hard with nothing ever handed to me. It's all about being grateful for what you have. I never got handed anything and I was on my own by the time I was 16. While my friends were out at the movies or camping trips I was sleeping on floors trying to get by. I was no perfect suburb girl, no help from mom and dad. There were many times I could have died in accidents, fires and other dangers but A Greater Power decided that my goofy lil self needs to stick around just a little more :) I have a certain respect for people who "get" what I mean, as well as the MORE fortunate who DO help out those who have less.
I am here to share thoughts/interests/dreams/opinions/friendships with unique souls of every background and color!! Life is all about sharing and helping each other along. I am here to meet creators, survivors and dreamers. We are all in the same boat sharing the same planet who came from the same place, what you drive or own makes you no better or worse, it's how you contribute and embrace that truly makes you an induvidual, so don't be surprised if I stay away from talk of $figures$, titles and the like ...it's not me, and it's not my people. Life is about hard work, faith and sharing it's rewards!
While I am not a constant churchgoer I am very spiritual and love and respect all life, especially the weaker and smaller. Just look around my profile to "get to know me."center
***THINGS I AM NOT INTO:
Trends, malls, fads, social labels, clicks, Obsessing over overcommercialized holidays, chain restaurants and chains in general, cheesy personalized licensed plates, always having to get wasted to fit in or have fun, getting something just because the neighbors got one, people who push their religion, turtlenecks, fake smalltalk, upscale stores (just read my blog) unecessarily large trucks that will never transport anything, snobby, flashy people in general. People who act like they could have your man/woman, (There are so many other worthwhile goals one can set other than taking what's already taken)
***THINGS I LOVE!!!!!!!:
Mom and Pop stores/small diners, down to earth/modest people, good friends, realness, old fashioned respect, genuine smiles, discount stores (I'd rather wait and pay what it's really worth) natural beauty, acts of charity and selflessness (just because and unscheduled) those who make their own rather than follow, Imperfect people with interesting stories, places of history, the supernatural (and natural!) all things retro and old school...I find humor in just about anything and I encourage my inner child :) I feel more comfortable in sneakers and t-shirts :)
Please don't add me ONLY so I can join your "chick" collection. I'm looking to make real friends not be dropped in your bin full of girls who I am probably nothing like anyway. If you're not interested in me as a PERSON don't be interested at all.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS EVEN FASTER...PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SIGN THE ONE CAMPAIGN, and tell me if you did so I can personally thank you :) If I cant write/comment back right away it's because I'm not always at my PC and I also have to help take care of my mom, but I do my best to return all respectful emails.
Hugs to all good people :)
We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.
Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
--The Great Martin Luther King Jr.
Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
I have a BMW. But only because BMW stands for Bob Marley and The Wailers, and not because I need an expensive car.
I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side.I stand for God's side.
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!
"My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright"
Robert Nesta Marley...pushed on thru to the light May 11, 1981, we need his message of Love more than ever.
Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
--Matisyahu, King without a Crown
One of my favorite paintings, (above) The good samaritan by "Sawyer"

My Interests



Doug trying to look serious...he cracked up 10 seconds later :)The stories and histories of people...the history of our earth...how can you not marvel and wonder?
I love watching my sisters learn and grow, the seasons change, making others around me feel good about themselves. My interests are interesting people...and I don't mean how popular or attractive you are or who you know...I mean your stories, struggles, ideas and dreams. The little things, the hidden things. I love sharing stories of how we got "here"...I've come to realize anyone can be your family, and sometimes THAT CAN be thicker than blood. Life is not about the next party or showing off that ride, it's about who has your back or that late-night listening ear, that embrace "just because" you've been through hell, no questions asked.
If you have good friends, love and appreciate them because we don't stay young forever. I love different cultures, ancient history, (esp. weaponry) video games, action/horror flicks, people on the corner playing music, sharing stories with total strangers, acting one way towards others...and STAYING that way...treating those who are good to me like gold...
Here is some of my artwork and photography, the last one was made with photoshop. I would post more if I didn't have issues uploading them...remember I have the negatives so please ask before you want to use one for anything...xcuse the bad cropping on the car ones, another issue when I uploaded them...

I'd like to meet:



"If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother." Deuteronomy 15:7
********I AM ON HERE TO MAKE SOME WONDERFUL GENUINE FRIENDS! my life is not complete without friends and sharing life's amazing experiences with each other. Live life like someday it will be a story you tell!
YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO MAKE FRIENDS, SO I TREAT MINE AS BEST I CAN, life is too short to bring people down in your path, I prefer making people happy instead. I AM LOOKING TO MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE...I DON'T WEAR MASKS, NEVER HAVE, SO ONLY REAL FACES NEED APPLY...
