About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Wildflowers

Who am I? I'm just a girl. A girl who likes learning new things. A girl who keeps to herself more than she use to. I believe in and have seen the power of God. I need to be creatively express myself through art to communicate. I enjoy being in a car alone. I enjoy attaining random skills like a CA Boating certificate and the abilty to teach Ocean Kayaking. I love to travel and meeting new people is interesting but, living out of a suitcase is getting old. I have realized the importance of family and friendships while I still want to persue living in Washington DC, I don't want to be away for too long. I'm just a girl who studied International Security and Conflict Resolution in undergrad but is considering Film school as a graduate program. I would love to go overseas...especially if someone would pay for it. ;) But..after all of this, I'm just a girl that has a large amount of love and caring for others and just wants it to be returned.
