Through My Lens, I Imprison Perceptions

About Me

Hello all. I'm a 23 year old active artist living south of Charlotte, North Carolina. I am working full time as a pharmacy technician. I just finished 2 degrees at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte - one in fine art photography and the other in psychology.
I spend my free time traveling, shooting photography, and going out with friends. Some of my friends call me a hippy, but I just like being myself. Life is given and can be taken away so quickly. So, I spend my time appreciating the beautiful things in the world and not dwelling on the negative things. I am a devoted Christian. I do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I praise and worship on my own time. I have a personal relationship with my God.
I am passionate about my education. It is an investment that can never be taken from me. I am currently looking into graduate schools around the world for a masters in fine art or maybe in business. I haven't decided yet. Life will lead me to the right decision when it is time.
I love children and plan to have a few someday, being that I find a wonderful man to hang out and plan a future with.
I'm very much right brained. Sometimes I am not all there. I have wit when I can think of something funny. That doesn't mean I am stupid. I am very much book smart. It just takes a few moments for me to get people's jokes.
I want to find friends that appreciate me and the things I am passionate about. I do go out sometimes. I do not smoke, but drink on occasion. I love just hanging out at the house, but really don't mind going out being that the funds are there.Quarterly Update - Summer 2007:
I recently moved back to the Charlotte area after spending the entire spring and summer with my father in south Georgia. During the summer, I received a promotion at work. I am certainly not has happy as I could be with my job, but at least I am getting paid more now! As a recent graduate, I am a bit freaked out about life in general. I hope to find a more fitting job soon. I am sure life with have me bump into something. The simple things in life are just what keeps me going. Sometimes its just good to get a phone call from a friend or even a hug. I appreciate everyone that is here for me. One of my greatest fears is to live this life alone. Thank you for your support everyone. I am blessed to have friends like you.
Though lately, I have been having issues with many of my 'friends'. Though I do appreciate those that are my real friends, I do not need the baggage of those that do not appreciate me. So, I have decided to let go of a few people that I have treasured in the last a few years because they have chosen a path I do not wish to follow. In that sense, I believe the feeling is mutual between us. So, I am here to make new friends. If you think you can handle my personality - cut throat as it may be at times, get to know me better. I am a very sweet and giving person. I can be a little socially neive at times. But I suppose that is my way of being bitter sweet. I am in this world to learn from others and enjoy life. I wish to spend time with those that feel the same way.

I have eden eyes. Eden is the color of water and earth. My eyes symbolize your great flexibility. I am a creative person. I can think of many good ways to get my point across to people as I have very good communication abilities. When someone feels down or is hurt, I have the remarkable ability to help them and heal them. If I have too little going on in my life, I may be withdrawn and depressed, timid, manipulative, unreliable, stubborn, or suspicious. Some words to describe me are: peaceful, sincere, affectionate, tranquil, intuitive, trustworthy, pure, loyal, healing, and stable.

The ORIGINAL Three

Television:


You're upbeat, insightful, effervescent and imaginative.
Sometimes a little too imaginative... You're all about the subtext, about what's going on between the lines. You very rarely take anything at face-value.
You also have a tendancy to be a little neurotic and self-absorbed, and fall for guys who are either (for the most part) emotionally unattainable or completely wrong for you.
That's okay, though, everyone loves you anyway. You're very well-liked. You always have a shoulder for your friends to cry on or an ear for them to gossip in. High-profile and fun, you're the life of the party.
Carrie quotes: "You can't make friends with a squirrel. Squirrels are just rats with cuter outfits."
"I'm thinking balls are to men, what purses are to women. It's just a little bag but we'd feel naked in public without it."
"The only thing I've ever successfully made in the kitchen is a mess. And several small fires."

Books:

"Kissing the Dead" - Paris, France 2003
"It is through Art, and through Art only, that we can realise our perfection; through Art and through Art only, that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence." - Oscar Wilde

Heroes:

My Lord and Savior... "The Begotten Son" - Ulm, Germany - March 2006
My Parents... Mom and Kelly - "Newly Weds" - October 2005
Daddy - "Prayer" - October 2004
