I am here for Friends

About Me

Man, I find it hard to describe myself. Well here it goes...I'm usually a fun person to be around. I find being cheerful to others is its own reward since it usually pays off. I enjoy a large vocabulary and witty remarks. Sometimes I'm good enough to use wit to my advantage. I try to look on the bright side of things. One thing I like about myself is that I'm organized. I try to be thorough, clear, and concise in everything I do. It may seem stuffy to some people, but it keeps my life out of chaos since I usually have about 20 different things to juggle. I'm always on the go and busy with these 20 different things. I'm a sucker for funny movies, but I'm not a fan of anything I consider to be too stupid. I make horror movies too real in my imagination so you'll hardly catch me watching any. I don't like being tall. I feel stupid and awkward when I have to look down on people. I'm not talking taking off 8 inches or anything, but a couple inches shorter would be nice. However, I feel thankful and blessed that I am healthy so I'll let it pass. I can be quite a talker when it comes to spending time with my friends, but I do enjoy moments of silence and meditation. Music, hot showers, and bubble baths are some of the best things invented. Besides God, my husband, family, and friends, music is in my living soul and touches me in ways that are indescribable. I have also found recently that I LOVE to cook and have completely enjoyed creating several different kinds of dishes. However, my field is limited since I also have a tendency to be a picky eater. I also like to swim, walk, bike ride, play pool, and tennis.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus of course! I mean c'mon, I'd love to learn some of life's big answers and if what they say about Him is true. Perhaps some big composers like Hildegarde of Bingen, Clara Schumann, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Carl Maria von Weber, Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Charles Ives, and John Cage. Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Benny Goodman would be awesome as well. I'd like to meet Michelle Branch too. I love all of her songs.
