Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.-Gandi

About Me

First of all, you can't tell anything about anyone from a paragraph on the space but having nothing here is kinda boring. I believe in positivity and the power of hope. I also believe that laughing is extremely important on a daily basis. I would have to say that I am a simple girl. I don't need extravagant things to be fulfilled but still appreciate some of those blessings I feel fortunate enough to have. But really, if you enjoy simpler things it is easier to be happy. I love my siblings more than life itself. I love the color pink, sleeping in, funny people and good friends, traveling, the ocean, and lots of other things. I think what is most important, is that out of recent hardships I have figured out what I really what out of my life. I think the next chapter is the hardest because it is finding ways to get there. Everyone think happy thoughts for me getting into grad school someday : ). If you want to know more ask... unless I don't know you and you are an internet weirdo that still lives with your mom at thirty and wears fanny packsI took this picture :) go me!I'm pretty classy... PAHAHAHA Get This Layout! I got this layout from totallylayouts.com

My Interests

Cats hate me and I hate them back. Dogs are better. I love wine... sometimes a little too much. Also, Chocolate, magazines, summer, driving, going out, sleeping in, HUGS, kisses, shopping, working out, movies, good books, random phone calls, text messages, letters, fishing, Helping people out, making money, the beach, lake tahoe, cooking, being organized, working hard for something and getting it, and being in love

I'd like to meet:

I learned this year that I have a lot to give and that I only want people in my life that offer the same.

Music:

I LOVE music absolutely every kind (although some only in moderation)I'm one of the few people that say that and actually mean it too. I am pretty easy going but mostly like music to match the mood im in. I have better things to do in my life than name drop all the bands I know. No offense

Movies:

The Notebook, Forest Gump, Now and Then, Anchor Man, Napoleon Dynamite, Team America, Romeo and Juliet, Requium for a Dream, Blow, Mean Girls, My Girl, Monster, O, Mask, John Q, A Walk to Remember, The Green Mile, Cruel Intentions, Swim Fan, A Little Princess, Mi Vida en Rose, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Girl Interupted, Enough, GLADIATOR,The Patriot, Little Women, The Road to Perdition, Tristan and Isole, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mean Girls (even though I HATE them in real life), o, In Her Shoes, Brokeback Mountain (it was good ok?), Memiors of a Geisha, A Walk to Remember, Man on Fire, Along Came Polly, Talladega Nights, Fargo, V for Vendetta, Shawshank Redemption, Good Will Hunting, Alpha Dogs and sooo many more. P.S. Lake Tahoe is a permanant owner of beach front property in my heart.

Television:

I LOVE Oprah. Dr. Phil is pretty good at life. Take his advice. I LOVE Desperate Housewives sooo much. I've seen every episode made (gotta love Tivo.) The Simple Life is the most hilarious show I've ever seen. Definetly guily of loving reality T.V. Real world, Laguna Beach, The Hills, True Life, Wife Swap, Survivor, The Apprentice, Black White, FLAVOR OF LOVE, (eff New York) you name it and I've probably seen it. I also like HBO shows: Sex and the City (like every other girl), Big Love, and The Sopranoes. I love watching Chappelle Show with my brother cuz he makes it like 10 time more funny. I seriously used to love The Crocodile Hunter. Rest in peace Steve Erwin! P.S. I think its rude to name your daughter Bindi... not gonna lie

Books:

I Know This Much is True-Wally Lamb. She's Come Undone-Wally Lamb. The Catcher in the Rye-J.D. Stalinger. Good In Bed (its not about sex believe it or not). All of these books make you loose yourself and find yourself at the same time (those are the only books I like hehe). Great Expectations is an amazing book as well. Where the Heart is, Queen Bee's and Wannabees, On bad days I love The Blue Day Book, The Lovely Bones, The Pilot's Wife and I'll Love You Forever <3. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey was amazing and dispite all the contoversy surrounding the book the man can write. The sequel is pretty good but not as good as the first called, My Friend Leonard. Labors Untold Story. Eat Pray Love-Elizabeth Gilbert

Heroes:

Anyone who had or has intentions of kindness, understanding, hope, and healing. A new one is Randy Pausch
