About Me

“I think that He speaks to us largely through WHAT HAPPENS TO US . . .I think we come to recognize BEYOND ALL DOUBT, that, however faintly we may hear Him, HE IS INDEED SPEAKING TO US, and that however little we may understand it, His word to each of us is both recoverable and PRECIOUS beyond telling." -Fredrick Buechner---So I realize that, strangely enough, my life doesn’t stay exactly the same. Weird. So it only makes sense then to not say too much about what I'm doing now, because that will change - but I will mention some things that I know NEVER will. The most important of these things is my love for Jesus. I hate that this is said by so many people, even (especially) here in myspace, but then you see the very same person talk about how they got trashed last night, make sex jokes, and use His name in vain . . . I am not one of those people. I am not perfect either - but I do strive to make this dedication to my Savior not just something I say because it is cool or even controversial, but because I mean it, and truly do try to live it - in my thoughts, my words, my actions . . .I want to represent Him well in all I am. That really is what my life is about. The cool part is that this makes my life even more exciting…and that God really does know my dreams and desires…and He actually is giving me those things. Some of those things seem to come more slowly than others…but I know that His timing is better than mine. I’m learning everyday what it means to TRUST that He does know what’s best for me…haha…I have so far to go on that one…but I know that He is more than worthy of my trust…so I just need to stinking get over myself:).I am passionate about knowing the Bible so that I can know my God better, so that I can love Him better. I am passionate about being available to the Lord to use me according to His will, and He is faithful to continue to show me day by day what that is. I know that I get very excited about helping people to see Jesus for who he really is, and through that see lives change. No matter where I find myself in life that will always be something I care intensely about. Everything else really will fall into place as long as keep my priorities the way they are now.-------And then there’s this stuff…just a few things that speak to me..---[The cure for pain, is IN the pain] - mewithoutYou---“...Our problem is most of us live our lives like a movie we've arrived at twenty minutes late. The action is well under way and we haven't a clue what's happening..."---"A Womans heart should be so hidden in God, that a Man would have to seek after Him to find her"---“ I hope you will not misunderstand what I am going to say. I am not preaching, and Heaven knows I do not pretend to be better than anyone else. I am only trying to call attention to a fact; the fact that this year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, WE HAVE FAILED TO PRACTICE OURSELVES THE KIND OF BEHAVIOUR WE EXPECT FROM OTHER PEOPLE…” CS Lewis (Mere Christianity)

My Interests


Jesus my Savior of course, Family, MUSIC, art, photography, movies, reading, quiet times,making home videos, writing, BOWLING, snowboarding, dancing to good eighties music, sleeping is good, kicking people in the neck when they deserve it - and sometimes because it's fun, Someday when I am settled somewhere (IF that ever happens) I want many dogs, big dogs, I really love the snow a LOT, but I seem to always be in a tropical climate, I burn and get freckles, so the sun and I don't get along very well - but we're working on restoring our friendship, I like to go to shows a lot, but a good hardcore show in Australia doesn't come along so much, . . .

I'd like to meet:

Anyone easy going - no weird stuff, I'm not into "hooking up" with anyone. I don't like perverted talk or anything of that nature, so don't bother if you are into that sort of thing. I do love meeting people with good taste in music, and who love Jesus as much as I do - or who want to know more about this awesome relationship that I have:).

Music:


I love me some music . . . But it absolutely needs to make me feel something - if it's not moving something in me then what's the point? I enjoy shows, and love live music, but I'm kinda getting over the whole scene of it all, so lately I've been enjoying my music on my own. The only genres of music that I don't really care for are country, and R&B. However, I love the old-school country, like Johnny Cash (who doesn't?) - and the old-school hip-hop, really anything old-school primarily because I like saying that word. Mostly I listen to hardcore, emo, screamo, indie, rock, metal, new wave, pretty much anything from the 80's, punk, and anything inbetween - whatever sub-genre title that you want to call what it is you listen to, but is basically one of the above. Oh yeah, I really dislike new-metal though - you know, the Linkin Park, mudvayne . . .any of that crap - but really, anyone who knows the defintion of music will concur. And dave mathews band and 311 are 2 of the bands I hate the most, just not my style. Ooh, I suppose I shouldn't say "hate", it is a strong word, but they both make me pretty nautious.

Movies:

George Bush singing "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
