About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!
I am unapologetically and uncompromisingly myself and a Christian believer. I gave my heart to Jesus. I read the Bible and I believe and serve with passion. Call me what you will, say what you will, nothing can separate me from His love. When the world hates me, I remember that it hated HIM first. I hate liberalism, feminism, chauvinism, racism, fascism, communism, Darwinism, and any kind of ‘ism’ in those departments. I love to write. My first completed work, “Chivalry’s Children” has been published in the raw (unedited by publishers) by Publish America to give my writing a chance in the world and open up new opportunities for other publishers to take my work. I also have a passion for movies and writing screenplays. I am constantly thinking of stories to tell the world. I also write essays of a persuasive nature, moral, political or relative to current issues. I love to sing and I write my own songs. I am in love with the heavens. Nebulas make my heart soar, planets intoxicate my mind, and stars cause my soul to sigh. I love adventure and I am addicted to traveling. I have been to Thailand, England, Wales, Chiapas Mexico and I still desire more. I love helping children around the world. It is my dream to adopt from foreign countries as well as have biological children. I am a “plus size” and thats just how I am. I love dressing pretty and if I leave the house without earrings on, I feel naked. I dress in a sort of gypsy/sophisticate with a splash of Gothic (not GOTH!) According to my brother and my mom, I am the weirdest dressed person in town, but I don't know about that. I have been dancing Middle Eastern dance for three years and I have to say it comes as naturally to me as walking. I love it; it's so feminine, sensual and beautiful. I have been single my whole life and I am waiting on my true love. I have a standard that I will settle for no less than. I am a firm believer in chivalry: men being men, women being women. I am German, Polish and Lebanese. I enjoy nerdy things. (I cry every time I watch or read “Lord of the Rings” lol). I love going to renaissance faires. I love the outdoors, hiking and walking for hours in nature and talking to God. I love Asian food, especially Thai. I love accents, especially Irish! I love the ocean and being by the sea! I really wish I lived on a beach. I could go on, but I shouldn't, so fare thee well!

My Interests

I have a huge heart for the:

I'd like to meet:

I really want to meet Christians in China or other such places where they are killed or imprisoned just by believing in Christ. That is just awesome. Charles Colson, John Piper, J.J. Abrams, M. Night Shyamalan, Wierd Al Yankovic, Blackmore's Night, Kamelot (I saw them live I didn't get to meet them), and the casts of LOST and FIREFLY.If I could meet dead people, I would like to meet Deborah, Solomon, John, Paul and pretty much everyone of the Bible... William Wilberforce, Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Queen Elizabeth I, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Jane Austen, Johnny Cash, Mata Hari, Plato, and Aristotle.

Music:

Kamelot, Blackmore's Night, Nightwish, Saviour Machine, Narnia/Divnefire, Thrice, Loreena McKennit, Josh Groban and Vienna Teng are my tops! PROGRESSIVE metal (especially from Scandinavia and Europe) is my favorite, world music (especially from the Middle East), folk, acoustic, opera, classical, some jazz, funky alternative, some old school country, trance (yeah, don't laugh), Classic rock, and some modern rock.I pretty much love everything except for country and rap. My taste is really eclectic. You can find pretty much anything in my cd case! I own roughly 300-400 CDs at the moment and it's always rising. Yay for Music!

Movies:

I love me a good film, it has to be artistic, creative, interesting, and above all has to have a plot driven structure and good content. If it doesn’t have those, then it's not good. I usually prefer epics, adventure stories, some fantasy/sci fi, fairy tales (and the ones that make fun of them!), historical dramas, satirical comedy, or just anything that is good that isn't full of gratuitous crap and actually makes sense, it's hard to find these days. Films by M. Night Shyamalan, Ridley Scott, Mel Gibson, Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, James Mangold, Joe Wright, Tim Burton, some of Spielbergs, George Lucas, and many more.

Television:

LOST is the best show ever and my favorite, so there! :P I also love ALIAS, Firefly, The Office, Frasier, House, Just Shoot Me, MST3K, BBC Robin Hood, old cartoons like Pinky and the Brain, X-Men and Gargoyles, animes like Cowboy Bebop, Record of Lodoss War. Yeah I am pretty much a dork!

Books:

My taste in books is pretty much the same as in movies. I really enjoy Young Adult books, fairy tales, pretty much all of the classics well... I will just go by authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K Rowling, Jane Austen, Lemony Snickett, Alexandre Dumas, Edgar Allan Poe, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi, Lord Byron, Elizabeth Peters, Stephenie Meyer, Gail Carson Levine, Lois Lowry, the Vampire HUnter D series (I actually like lots of vampire stories... yeah I know, burn me at the stake later, :P but they rock!) and tons of other random books, I constantly read.

Heroes:

Christ above all others who saved me from a life of meaningless mediocrity and showed me a love to defy all others.... Deborah from the Bible, Jonathan Edwards the 18th century minister, Pastor Suphot Phanon in Chiang Rai, Thailand, American soldiers fighting for freedom over seas and the man I am going to fall in love with and marry, he's my hero even though we aren't together yet.

The War on Children

I've got a lot of random blogs in my head these days and one of them came upon me yesterday while in choir. It's the general disrespect and evil toward children in our modern age. It honestly makes me...
