picking up the pieces

About Me

I moved to CA from IL a year ago to go to school. I finally started this Jan. I'm a down to earth girl who is realistic and practical, most of the time. I have gone skydiving twice which was great. I love my dog, he's my baby. He's a cross between Valcore from Never Ending Story and Chewboca (sp?) I like being outdoors, and am trying to get more into hiking, when time allows. I'm all IRISH and so white, I glow :) I'm independent, honest (almost brutally at times), loyal, and I spend most of my time trying to make everyone happy, which I have found recently that there are just some people that as hard as you try, will never be happy. I tend to go with the flow. I'm opinionated in that everyone is too "unopinionated." So I don't agree with you, and you may not agree with me? Who really cares?! Why get all offended, grow tougher skin. Anyway...Thats just been a issue with some people lately so I feel the need to say it. :) Otherwise I am a pretty happy person.

My Interests

I like art; drawing, painting, and ect. I like reading, movies, being outside, and going out for coffee, which isn't the same here(I miss common grounds). I love meeting people and learning their stories, cuz everyone has one, and they are all cool. I love road trips. hiking. my dog. music.

I'd like to meet:

whoever? Whoever wants to be friends, and aren't petty or caddy.

Music:

New Kids on the Block....no not really. they don't have the right stuff. really, I like a lot: indi, hardcore, emo, country, anti-folk, bluegrass. whatever the mood.

Movies:

"Man it's a crying shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that." Better Off Dead, the best movie ever made. Pretty in Pink, Newsies, Amelie, The Huggabunch Gang, Napoleon Dynamite, My Fair Lady, and most other chick flicks, I know, I'm a nerd.

Television:

it's all evil :)

Books:

classics, Les Mis, To kill a Mockingbird, A Prayer for Owen Meany. celtic art/poetry. I'm reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place now.

Heroes:

Some of the strongest people I've ever had the honor of meeting/working with were those fitting for their lives. They were/are cancer fighters.

My Blog

I'm going backpacking, with a cute boy this weekend. What could be better than that?!
