I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a Christian. I collect people like some people collect stamps on their passports, each one different and unique. I am the clumsiest girl you will ever meet. I try to take it a day at a time. I'm a nurse. I laugh constantly. I think something inside you changes when you see birth and death in the same year. I am absolutely in love with peanut butter. I am flawed. I travel to a new country every year. I am completely loved. I am unashamed of the Gospel.Get your myspace layouts at My Psace.org ..

Music:

I am a music JUNKIE, it's my addiction... I like a little bit of everything; lately I've been listening to more mellow stuff like Jack Johnson, Rocco DeLuca and the Burdern, Damien Rice, Mae, Matt Wertz, Andy Davis, Brett Dennen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR, Dashboard Confessional, Sigur Ros, Ben Harper, Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, Pete Murray, David Gray, Nickelcreek, Copeland, Anberlin, Flyleaf etc... but I love everything from hardcore to emo to gospel to the occasional country/bluegrass song. BBmak is my guilty pleasure.

Movies:

Boondock Saints. LOVE it!

Television:

Jeopardy (me and my grandma OWN Alec Trebec), House, CSI, The Hills, The Office.

Books:

I read everything I can get my hands on... I'm not gonna lie... I'm a huge nerd. My favorites are biographies, medical dictionaries, historical fiction, and poetry.

Heroes:

Boondock Saints, Jesus, people who are willing to die for what they believe in... you.

For my friend Tonya, who is often bored at night

A loss of innocence

I can't sleep.  Today was hard; really hard.  Sometimes I wish I could just turn off my emotions and distance myself, but really that's not who I am.  Being a nurse would be s...

Sailing... take me away

Tonight I was reminded of my dream of learning to sail.  I suppose it would be smart to learn to swim first, but I'm working on that.  Everyone says I'm an idealist and that sailing is not e...

Honestly

I wish honesty, loyalty and trust were more important to some people.  I'm really tired of being deceived by good -intentioned white lies.  Just be straight with me.  I'll do the same&...

You don't know me.

You give your hand to me and then you say hello and I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so!  Well, anyone can tell you think you know me well, but you don't know me.  No, you don't know ...

You and I promised

So I was thinking tonight about how easy it is for me to make plans when I'm far from home.  Somehow the stark reality of never coming home doesn't seem bad at all when you're halfway a...

Worth it all.

Now around every corner and up every mountain... I'm not looking for crowns or the water from fountains.  I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing that the sight of your face... is all that I'...
