My Interests

music. reading news and blogs. photography. traveling. cultures. learning...yes, learning.

i admit, i'm a little boring.

i swear i will not dishonor
my soul with hatred,
but offer myself humbly
as a guardian of nature,
as a healer of misery,
as a messenger of wonder,
as an architect of peace.
- from "school prayer" by diane ackerman

I'd like to meet:

and this is my beautiful life.
dreamerhopelessromanticSDAchristiansomewhatofadork
musicaddictwannaberockstarchoir nerd
alovelycontradictionnevergrowingupmegan.

i believe in God. i laugh...a lot. i like the sound of rain.
i was born on sunset blvd. in hollywood.
i still harbor a childhood fantasy of being an actress,
but because of ability AND probability, it won't happen. how sad.
i live on route 66. i like chewy pears but crunchy apples.
my favorite part of cheesecake is the crust.
i hate get frustrated with unaccomodating, uncompromising people,
people that act like you owe them something,
and people who act differently
behind your back than to your face.
i love [thai and indian and korean and japanese and mediterranean] food.
i enjoy summer night drives with the windows down and the music up.
old navy compilation CDs make me happy, as do havaianas flip-flops.
you might find me chasing a squirrel.
i hate being bored.
i like dresses, treble clefs, and jamba juice.
i love christmas music and getting text messages.
i like things that are constant but i have no routine.
i like taking random pictures...and videos.
i like making lists and schedules but i don't always follow them.
i love fourth meals. i would wear heels all the time if my feet would allow it.
i'm a bit of a workaholic. my prescription is -7.50...
and the rest is still unwritten.
