About Me

I am a Christian. I am a musician. I am a sister. I am a preacher's daughter. I am the girl next door. I am a peanut butter addict. I am living my life, one day at a time. I love my family. I am an activist. I look cute first thing in the morning. I'll eat almost anything with nutella on it. I love to swing dance and salsa dance. I hope my first wrinkles are laugh lines. I love good literature. I am curvy. I am different than anybody else. I am a terrible poet. I love diner breakfast late at night. I can sometimes be too hard on myself. I have been blessed with a stable and loving home. I love coffee. I'm learning to love tea even more. I sometimes get frusterated with people. I'm an average young 20-something woman. I think my glasses are hott. I think my friends are wonderful. I'm waiting for my husband. I love to laugh. I love life and everything that makes it what it is.

My Interests

Redecorating repeatedly. Vintage clothes. Colors. Candles. Warmth. Peace. Music. Happiness. Friends. Family. Talking to cute boys. Making trade fair. Blowing my nose really loudly. Writing really bad poetry. Driving with my best friend and playing loud music with the windows down. Making weird faces. Holding my hair back with nothing but a pencil. Eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. Bustin' crazy Latin dance moves around my room whilst blasting very un-Latin music. Using gigantic headphones even though they look funny. Screaming like Howard Dean. Accidentally waving a cute guys through the big glass window at Barnes & Noble. Making things match that normally wouldn't. Doing my trademark booty-dance. Giving pedestrians the right of way even when I don't have to. Singing just like Tom Petty. Living a pirate's life with Jenny. Dancing in the supermarket aisles. Using exceedingly and needlessly exorbitant words. Making absolutely fantastic pancakes.

I made some ART.

And Jenny took a picture of it at the coffeehouse: It is acrylic on canvas and paper. The writing is with a Sharpie. You can't really read the writing on it too well, but I wrote out all these&...

These are the things I think in times such as these.

Sometimes I find myself in a list-making kind of mood. One of my favorite people, Jenny, taught me to make lists; she is, after all, the supreme ninja of listmastery (sheisamazingandwonderf...

Its hard to type when you're icing your thumb.

You know, I play my djembe and really don't notice what I am doing to my poor little fingers until after the songs are done. I think I might have actually broken my left thumb tonight at CCC.&nb...
