Dare to dream...you will live a life only imagined.

About Me

I am the girl full of dreams trying to live as many of them as possible while I can. I love to hang out, go to movies, take pictures, scrapbook, exercise with friends and have fun. Life is different in Italy, you are encouraged to enjoy life! You eat three meals a day, enjoy delicious coffee, go out with family and friends, see the town and different parts of the world. I love that I can go out and experience history rather than see it on the web or on TV. I love that I am really learning and using a totally different language everyday. It's tough, and embarrassing, but I am loving the journey and can't wait to cross the finish line. I have decided to enjoy everyday in the now. I still look to the future with dreams, but do not rely on that day for my happiness. Life is a journey, the ride is what makes you who you are.*** Road Trip to Tucson!! *** * *

My Interests

Photography, Art, Scrapbooking, Painting, Quilting, Writing, Acting/Improv, Designing, Dancing

I'd like to meet:

~~~~~~~ I think everyone has their own unique charm to them. I'd like to get to know more people here in Italy. Make new friends and make more memories. I will always be looking for my Mr. Right, where ever he is right now. I'm sure we are working our way toward each other. No worries. Anyone that will teach me something and share my passions would be really nice to meet. :) *

Music:

Hanson, N'SYNC, Ingram Hill, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, Finger Eleven, Hot Hot Heat, Soul Coughing, 311, Matchbox 20, Dave Mathews Band, Amittai Rise, Quietdrive, The Sorrow Band, OKGO, Pretty in Stereo, ANYTHING ITALIAN (Nek, Vanilla Sky, Aurora), George Straight, Tim McGraw, Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban, Billie Holiday, Incubus, Good Charlotte, Home Grown, Alkaline Trio, Thursday, Jack's Broken Heart, Rascall Flatts, Modest Mouse, Save Ferris, Third Eye Blind, Linkin Park, The Doors, Story of the Year, Usher, Goo Goo Dolls, I like a lot of music. It really depends on my mood. It's whatever completes me at the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Movies:

Down to You, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, The Cutting Edge, The Lord of the Rings, Fast and The Furious, The Mummy 1&2, Indiana Jones 1-3, Star Wars-All of them, Mission Impossible 1&2, The Bourne Identity, Supremacy & Ultimatum, Ocean's Eleven & Twelve, Sweet Home Alabama, Il Postino, The Phantom of the Opera, Center Stage, A Knight's Tale, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Beauty & The Beast, Toy Story 1&2, Mary Poppins... I like a wide variety. Love, Feel Good, Suspense...Depends on who's in it too. Matthew McConaughey, Vin Diesel, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and the late Heath Ledger have made some great ones in my opinion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Television:

It's really difficult to keep up with TV in Italy!! Thank the lord for the Internet! I loved this last season of Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, House, ER, CSI-all three but Vegas is my favorite, Las Vegas, Supernatural and Flip this House. Reruns: Friends, Will & Grace & Sex in the City. And I like to watch the History channel to learn about ancient Egypt, The Renaissance, Art or Religious Groups. Too bad I can't watch those ones here in Italy.

Books:

John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, Danielle Steel, Dan Brown, Kate White, Sophie Kinsela, David Baldacci, and J.K Rawlings are among my favorite authors. I read the Bible on a regular basis, but can't say I've ever read it from front to back all the way through. I loved Memoirs of a Gheisha, The Painter of Shangai, The Flirt, the Lord of the Rings, Eragon and random other books from friends.*
MySpace Layouts *

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, Fire fighters, Law Enforcement, Military personnel stationed overseas, Teachers and people who decide to make a difference .Any one who will stand up for what they believe in. ..
