About Me

The me I was a year ago wouldn't recognize me now. In spite/because of all the changes, I think I like me better somehow. That rhymes. Oops.
I'm not capable of staying in one place for any amount of time...I doubt that'll change any time soon.
I really appreciate the little things in life...I think...I hope. For instance, the awesome beauty of the night sky never fails to affect me.
I go out of my way to get caught in a downpour.
I believe laughter truly is the best medicine.
Awkwardness is the spice of life.
I want to be a writer, whatever that means anymore.
I like to make people smile. It's very important.
I love my friends...and words...and at times, cake.
Whistle while you work.

What Your Handwriting Says About You
You are sometimes a very energetic person, but you are sometimes quite lethargic. You're moody, prone to ups and downs, and you don't have a lot of endurance.
You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.
You are extravagant, over the top, and indulgent. You set trends and influence people.
You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.
You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.
You are a poor communicator. No one really knows exactly what you're getting at. What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

My Interests

Friends. I didn't really have them for the longest time, and then I did, and I can't go back.
I like to read, write, and listen to music--not that music is a spectator sport. You have to sing/scream and dance like a fool...as if no one is watching...even when they are. I love driving, especially at night. I have an unhealthy attraction to water. I like to learn stuff. Long walks in the cold...star gazing...little fires with buddies and s'mores fixin's...I've only been on a boat once, but that was cool...laughing as often as possible...sprinting occasionally...movies can be a'ight...pumpkin pie...dude, this could go on for awhile...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident..." Clearly I overuse ellipses.

Your Native American Name Is...
Enola Shuman

Your name means: Solitary Rattlesnake Handler What's Your Native American Name?

I'd like to meet:

The voices...or more specifically, their owners.

What Your Face Says
At first glance, people see you as strong willed and stubborn.

Overall, your true self is passive and thoughtful.

With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react.

In love, you seem mysterious and interesting.

In stressful situations, you seem sad and helpless. What Do People Think Of Your Face? (This "What Do People Think of Your Face?" title made me laugh a little...)

Music:

I like bits and pieces of everything, I think...perhaps not rap, though I try sometimes.

Movies:

I'll try about anything with a minimal amount of gore...partial to comedies...

You Are From Mercury
You are talkative, clever, and knowledgeable - and it shows.
You probably never leave home without your cell phone!
You're witty, expressive, and aware of everything going on around you.
You love learning, playing, and taking in all of what life has to offer.
Be careful not to talk your friends' ears off, and temper your need to know everything. What Planet Are You From?

Television:

Oh, on occasion...usually sitcoms and crime shows. A talk show every now and then. I'll never get over Conan's hair--I firmly believe that it is alive and possesses a will and a personality of its own.

Books:

Yummy. I was a huge Harry Potter fan for a couple years...obsessed to the point of writing fan fiction. We all have to have our quirks, right? Medical thrillers and crime-types are good. Gray Matter was intriguing. Sinners and Saints is two-thumbs-up, at the halfway point, at least. Ashes to Ashes...a girl's head in a duffel bag--can't go wrong there, right?
The power of the written word can be overwhelming...I hope to master that art someday.

Heroes:

Anyone with an anger problem...help me understand. Just kidding...ish.
I don't know that I actually have anyone I'd consider a hero. I really look up to Thori. She's real and stuff...

You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. What Flower Are You? (Fine...I'll be a damn lily...)

My Blog

*edit?

I need to go through and edit this thing, but it's just so damn time-consuming.  I used to write everyday, and I posted damn near everything.  That's a lot of reading and revising, if you kn...

Body, Mind, and Soul

A Mind trapped in a box at odds with a Soul at odds with a Body confined to a role. Once scattered thoughts collected and contained by strict duress in the box upon the shoulders of a Body worn w...

Mi Amiga, Mi Amor

Mi amiga, mi amor, Perhaps you're what I've waited for. Te quiero, y te amo, And I'm so glad you're mine, Though I must admit I wasn't looking, And who knew it would be you I'd find? I feel so lucky ...

Five a.m. sleepless night drivel from weeks ago...

Pristine blackness dotted with diamond pinpricks in sizes ranging from barely perceptible to shiny splotches with measurable diameters.  Invoking a serenity unrivaled by any other scene in the na...

I-dee-kay.

Alone and lonely, Always precarious emotionally. Resigned to sleepless nights and swings, Really to a lot of things. Want to be needed, Need to be wanted. But who'd want this, honestly? Can't ask that...

Sleep!

So I'm really starting to think that insomnia's a bad thing. Headache, nausea, dizziness, and just overall exhaustion...I can't muster the energy to climb the stairs to bed.  I danced somew...

Blog...ish...I think...maybe.

So it's one-thirty in the morning, and twenty-four hours ago I was sitting in a red ninety-eight Chevy Cavalier on the highway about thirty miles from home after it started making funny noises and ter...

Enormous

"You're just huge."  It's a movie quote that had me in stitches, so to speak...God I laughed so hard.  Now it's a running joke with several of my friends.  We call each other huge on a...

"My Apologies"

"My Apologies" I'm sorry I'm not that pretty, And I don't look good on your arm. I'm sorry I don't act just right, And I don't have an ounce of charm.   I'm sorry I value my integrity, And I'm so...
