About Me



Happiness: Being with people who make me smile and doing/saying/having something that makes us smile together. It's all about the journey... not the destination...
I'm a walking contradiction and I change my mind a lot. I hate being alone, but I don't like to say much. I love storms, but I need the sun. I like to sleep, but I hate to miss half the day. I'm a dreamer, but I'm realistic. I always have a plan, but I don't always have a goal. I always forgive, but I don't forget. I'm aware, but I'm oblivious. I'm very comfortable in my skin, but I'm paranoid about showing myself off. I'm proud, but I'm modest. I'm tired, but I'm awake. I'm hungry, but I'm full. I'm content, but something's missing. I'm private, but I'll share all my secrets. I'm simple, but I'm complicated.

I love tv. The whole "anti-tv" trend is so boring. It's not the tv, it's how long we're watching it for that's the problem. If you don't like it - don't watch it!

Books:

The Wednesday Wizard by Sheryl Jordan (my all time fave - and yes I know it's a kids book), and anything by David Eddings. Pretty much any fantasy-type stories.

Heroes:
