About Me



i love Jesus with all of my heart: mockery & blasphemy are not tolerated by me.
i'm the biggest nerd but i'm also extremely reserved when i choose to be
[usually to those i'm not close to].
i'm hardly an open book.

i'm a coffee connoisseur.
photographer[aspiring expert].
photoshop addict.
my heart's in new york.
i love import red wines.

i'm a perfectionist when it comes to my art.
constantly finding ways to improve in all that i do.
i love unconditionally.

i'm quite certain that some of the best memories i have are when eating food + drinking wine are involved. so italian.
i love my crazy dog brodie with all of my heart.
i never have malicious intent toward anyone.
even my greatest enemy would receive my hand if they fell.
i love superman.
i love superheros.
80s movies. 80s music. 80s dancing.
christmas vacation [the movie] makes me laugh e v e r y time.
unfortunately, i usually don't acquire enough sleep. :(
grocery shopping is an obsession.
cooking makes me happy.
i wear cologne - armani: black code
i strongly disapprove of littering; i recycle.
abnormal psychology intrigues me.
film junkie.

i've got a few close friends, lots of friends, and a mass amount of acquaintances.
then there are those that fall into the family category.
you know if it is you.
a lesson that took me years to learn, was to value those dearest to you. it's vital that those closest to you never doubt how much you love them, and how appreciative you are to have them in your life. too many times [even once is too many] did i allow myself to become self-absorbed and bitter, and forget to take in consideration the lives of those i love the most. pushing the ones you love away from you is terrible, but losing them is worse. i vow not to repeat that error again.
although i've used different stages + events in my life as excuses to fall from my morals and what i believe in, my heart is for Jesus Christ.
i AM a Christian, and even though my actions the past few years have led astray to representing Christ; that is no more. i laid that all down at His feet, and walked away with forgiveness. my heart, mind, soul, and strength is directed toward Him now. my repentance was given to God, and because of Him i can breathe with ease again.
my convictions are between God and i. i am held accountable.
i have every intention to pursue the life i believe the Lord wants me to. time to become the woman i am supposed to be.
it's about a relationship, not religion.
all i ask, is if you have difficulties accepting who i am now and the life i live and cannot see beyond my past -- then please leave me alone. let me be.
(John 14:6) "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"


i love my mama more than she knows. there isn't a moment that goes by where i don't value and appreciate everything she's ever given me [not speaking of simply material objects].
i love going out to try new restaurants with my sister.


rebekah jayne hall nielsen. i love you. i miss you. my other big sister. 09.08.80 - 04.21.05
rebekah and i back when i was 16 and she was 20.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

step up and take action to help those who are in dire need. below are three crucial organizations that rid us of any ignorance of how others are truly living, or dying, in this world. this country claims "united we stand," well so act like it. be united for mankind, not just your country.

i recently found out about "nothing but nets" when my mom found an article in a magazine.

"For just $10, we can purchase a bed net, deliver it to a family, and explain its use. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur. A family of four can sleep under an insecticide-treated bed net, safe from malaria, for up to four years. The benefits of bed nets extend even further than the family. When enough nets are used, the insecticide used to deter mosquitoes makes entire communities safer—including even those individuals who do not have nets."

i am not just an advertiser, i do as much donating as i can to each campaign.
