I sold my soul to the internet and all I got was this lousy myspace page...

About Me

I'm very laid-back and get along with a lot of different types of people. The people I like get treated really well and the people I don't like basically just cease to exist as far as I'm concerned. I've never really got the point of fighting with people, though I am by no means a pacifist and will stand up for myself as needed. But I'm definitely not into drama and have little patience for the people who are. Photography is definitely what I spend the majority of my free time doing. Someday I may get around to actually trying to start up a business doing it but for now I'm mainly in it for the whole creative process and the delight on the faces of my subjects when I come up with something they like.

I got married to the most wonderful man on the planet (and he's a former Marine to boot!) last October. We've yet to go on any sort of honeymoon, but when we do it'll be to the Grand Canyon. I love being outdoors and absolutely adored driving across the country a few summers ago so that's a totally awesome thing to look forward to. Traveling (especially road trips) is an exciting concept to me and I'd love to do a whole lot more of it in the future.

I have a great deal of respect for the people who defend this country. I wish Laura Bush would run for President because I think she'd kick ass. I can't stand immature people and think that being child-like is good but being childish is bad. Whiny people irk me. Some of my closest friends have beliefs and opinions that directly oppose my own and I appreciate them more for that. Of course I'm still entitled to give them shit for it... :)
You can find me on Yahoo messenger as ouchcall911

My Interests

spending time with my hubby, photography, reading, writing, road trips, cooking, the desert, hanging out with cool people, thinking, being alone, music, the colors orange gray and clear, popsicles, hiking, computers, history, urban exploration, abandoned places, ect

I'd like to meet:

Anyone really. I like creative people who haven't bought into the mistaken belief that being "open-minded" means you have to think exactly like they do. I wouldn't mind meeting people who can form their own opinions and know enough to know when to stand up for those beliefs and when to agree to disagree. Fun people rule. Oh and I love people who aren't afraid of being in front of a camera.

Music:

3 doors down, aerosmith, miranda lambert, nickleback, gary allen, kelly clarkson, tom petty, ozzy osbourne, john cougar mellencamp, bon jovi, counting crows, the go-go's, the b-52s, ashlee simpson, alanis morrisette, sheryl crow, ella fitzgerald, etta james, dido, sarah mclachlan, jimmy buffett, martina mcbride, alan jackson, alison krauss, kenny chesney, michelle branch, vanessa carlton, carrie underwood, pat benetar, jamie o'neal, sugarland, jane siberry, trace adkins, depeche mode, beth hart, lifehouse, the cranberries, shivaree, bruce springsteen, the eagles, anna nalick ...

Okay so basically anything but rap and really hard rock. Though those both have a place in certain situations, you won't really be finding them on my playlist in general.

Movies:

Thanks for the memories...

"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end...
