About Me

I grew up in southern California. Moved to Atlanta, GA in 1998. I've yet to find a single thing I'm passionate about, but I manage to surround myself with people who have the passion I envy and that's done pretty well for me. I love to people watch. I think I'm funny as hell regardless of what anyone else thinks. A friend once told me she thought I was always on the verge of laughter which is why I'm constantly laughing. I enjoy socializing and meeting new people, but I can't stand when people invade my space. I'm fiercely protective over my family and friends and I'll be the first person to dance a barrier between a guy and my girlfriend when I get "the look". (Girls, you know what I mean...) I can't stand not having my car. I'm always the boss of me. My friends know if there's anyone who'll take care of them when they've had to much, it's me. Maybe I'm a control freak, I'm fine with that. At least you'll never see me or any of my friends passed out on the bathroom floor of some club because they had too much to drink. I love music and movies. I have a freakishly good memory. I can remember the most minute details no matter how long ago it was. I write when I'm sad and when I'm really happy. I smoke because I like to, when I'm ready to quit I will. I love the way it feels to connect with someone new. The first kiss, the butterflies, all of it. I'm not afraid of falling in love. I'm not afraid of having my heart broken. As long as I understand the reasons behind everything. Every heart break tops the last, but so does each love. I believe lessons are usually learned the hard way. People can tell you what to do, but you'll usually do what you want to do. Hindsight...I've been there. I'm a straight up girl and I expect people to be straight up with me. I like the fact that I've been able to take my life experience, the good with the bad, and learn from it. I appreciate how the people I surround myself with make me who I am. It's funny how when you're younger it's all about how many people you can call your friends. I wish I would have realized back then how it's not about quantity, but quality. I'm proud to say that every person I call my friend is someone I have a mutually beneficial relationship with. I hate termites. People who are only your friend because you have something to offer them. At the end of the day, I'm happy where I am. I remember where I come from. Learn from where I've been. And look forward to where I'm headed.

My Interests

Music, writing, photography, playing Volleyball, sports in general.

Music:

I'm into just about everything. I was raised in a house where we listened to records instead of watching t.v. so my musical tastes are pretty diverse.

Heroes:

My mom and dad and my brother

When Love is Whole

When love is whole and everything just right. Will I still be this hungry at the end of the night? When the void has been filled, nothing left I can take. Will I feel every decision puts something gre...

The Giving Tree

When I was little, my favorite book was called The Giving Tree. It's about a boy and his tree. The tree provided him fruit to eat, shade to lay in and branches to climb. As the seaso...

I've held inside a deep sadness. From the pain you once showed me was real. Today I sit with a different point of view. For once, not bitter, for once not mad. Your words ...

Me and Love

If love was blood, I'd need a transfusion I've given more than I had to spare If love was money, I'd be in the poor house I'm still waiting on my return If love was wine, my bottle'd be empty The men ...

Love

Love isn't what you always thought it was. Love is the idea of what's to come. Loving someone completely and losing them for the first time feels like the worst, most painful thing you cou...

Life

I'm not naive enough to think we live in a utopian world, where everything is fine and dandy. Life throws everyone for a loop whether it be financially, romantically or other. The way I se...
