About Me

Live Life, Love your friends and family. Making someone smile costs nothing. Hurting someone costs too much. I give more than I recieve and that makes me happy. Rain isn't always a bad thing and sunshine isn't always a good thing. But lets be honest we all love the sun.*smiles* Trials and hardship are part of life, it's how you deal with them and if you learn from them that counts. Life is too short to be taken too seriously, so don't forget to laugh often. I love music like I love my own bed. Nothing beats it. Music is everything. Imagine for one minute a world with no music. Can't do it can you? Music leads us through life and will always be there. I have so much respect for those who are committed to what they love in life. Be free and true to yourself. Dont change!

I own the title of "CUTE & SWEET", or so I've been told! Who am I to argue?!?!? Some things, like my cuteness, are beyond my control! LOL!

My Interests

* I'm mysterious, no matter how long you know me, you will never know me completely.

*Unpredictability is my responsibility

*I'm your hand grenade and your lemonade

*I'm just a clever, clueless little human...confusing, yet amusing

*Smiling cheers the heart and laughing is the best medicine

*Good company brings joy to my heart

*I'm a dreamer and my dreams are vivid and brilliant

*I hop down random bunny trails

*Everyday i'm curiouser...and curiouser...

*I love walking in the rain without an umbrella

*I love to laugh till my lungs feel like they will pop like a deflated balloon.

*I'm not a "wine and dine" er kind of girl - simple is best!

*I am my own worst enemy and my own best friend

*I've learned to find beauty in my imperfections.

*I love the ocean and the waves crashing on the shore

*I love "sword fights" with my best friend (Haha)

*I love to give hugs, and recieve them as well

* I love music that punctures your heart and wraps itself around you and won't let you go

*I love being "one of the guys", watching baseball and hockey, yelling at the bad calls!

*I can get dolled up and be "girly" when I want to be.

*I love dancing randomly about and frolicking and romping excessively, enthusiastically, exuberantly always...

* There's nothing better then a good guitar solo...Love 'em!

* I truly believe that the eyes are the window into the soul!

* I love to travel, see different places, do new things.

*My faith is the cornerstone of my life, without it I'm nothing!

I'd like to meet:

"God determines who walks into your life... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go!"

"There are certain things in life that we must learn to take control over...our own actions, our own opinions, our own lives... and because of this individuality and independence, you can learn to love others enough to give selflessly, but love yourself enough to know when enough is enough."

Heroes:

The people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

Jesus - for continually teaching me the lessons of life, and being there when everyone else isn't!
