I am here for Friends

About Me

Something to think about: "Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile." ~Unknown

"Music is the voice of your soul. I love how even just one moment of a song can grab you from the inside and then slowly...in its own time...release you." ~Joss Stone, musician

My Interests

Dancing - swing and blues. Playing the piano and flute, listening to all kinds of music. Spending time with friends, sharing in their joys and empathizing with their hurts. Walking around outside, frolicking in the rain, lying in the sunshine watching the clouds go by. Laughing.

I'd like to meet:

People who will inspire me to be a better person.

Music:

Almost anything except hard rock and rap. Jazz, swing, and blues are the best. Christian artists I like are Jars of Clay, Third Day, Shawn Mcdonald, and Shaun Groves.

Television:

Gilmore Girls, Full House (some shows are still fun to watch!)

Books:

Blue Like Jazz, Boy Meets Girl, The Birth Order Connection, The Color Code, A Wrinkle in Time

Heroes:

My mom; she's an amazing lady!

Sadness

Tomorrow is a very sad day.  I just learned from my mom tonight that we will be putting my dog to sleep tomorrow evening.  His name is Poochy, he's a little dog with tan and white fur. ...

A week of Firsts

    This week, actually the last two days was a time of "firsts."  Yesterday marked the event of my first pot use.  No no no, not the illegal stuff, (I've never done that!)&nb...

Rainbows

I've had a fascination with rainbows since the time I was little.  They're so amazing, the mixture of light and water that creates such beautiful colors in the sky.  Today in church, on...
