You take the breath right outta me-- you left a hole where my heart should be.

About Me

I'm just the "Average Jane" if you ask me, but at the same time, I have this stupid habit of screwing everything up... I'm the master of mistakes in epic proportions! I turn people's lives upside down without really meaning to, and things usually end badly. Not always, though-- sometimes when I turn someone's life upside down, it turns into something wonderful... I always give the best that I have, and when it's not enough, I tend to beat myself up for my shortcomings. Refreshingly unstable. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I don't have the highest regard of myself as far as appearance... it's not that I think I'm ugly, it's that I think maybe that I could be a little prettier. It's kinda weird. I don't know. -lol- I'm an impulsive skinny-dipper and I hate asparagus. It's the little things in life that I seem to appreciate. Pleasently bitchy. On occasion, I can resort to toddler-isms. I'm not one who really likes surprises because I don't handle change very well... I never could get the hang of Thursdays, either (poor Arthur Dent). Bitterly sweet. I have an incredible son, Braden Michael Mathis, born on September 23, 2005-- he's the "bestest" thing that has ever happened to me. Having a child gave me a new direction on life. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I haven't done anything profound with my life that I'm aware of, but I don't have any regrets-- life's too short to be pissed off all the time. I write, I draw, I read... which suggests that I'm introverted, but I'm not, really. Selfishly giving. I'm pretty open about damn near anything because I don't believe in secrets. Secrets don't make friends! -lol- How elementary was that?! I hate being taken for granted. Quietly loud. I dislike how the word "love" is so abused. Too often, people forget the power and depth of saying the words "I love you." ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I'm pretty sure my best friends hates me, but he calls anyways. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I question everything, and I usually will debate something until I pass out, simply because I'm opinionated. I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong, if the occasion should ever arise (haha), but you're not going to change my mind about anything, because I'm a firm believer in what I believe in. Make sense? I don't know a lot about love and life, but the parts that I do know, I know a lot about. Once again, I hope that makes sense. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ My outlet is music and I love kids in general. I alphabetize my DVDs and CDs and if they're out of order, it drives me insane. I love thunderstorms. I'm clever, and I can be smart-- but I prefer sarcasm. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I prefer to be appreciated for who I am and what I have to offer, because I know that in my own gentle way, I can shake the world. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I love my eyes. I'm pretty sure I'm overly sensitive, but I'm capable of not taking things too personally. I hate writing with pencils, I'd much rather use a blue bic pen. I don't yell, I don't think that it solves much of anything. I am guilty of raising my voice, however. Hatefully loving. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ I heart kissing like whoa. I'm obsessive-compulsive, and as much as I dislike humanity, I love people. I'm not graceful and I hate countries ending in "-stan." I am a rape victim but I am still a survivor. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Wise words, from an even wiser person (and I can't remember who said it!). You only get to live once so it's my firm belief that you should do it how you wanna. Seriously funny. I don't follow religion, I follow my own philosophies based on the research I've done... and then I found five dollars. ~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~ love layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

Being a mother, reading, writing, myspace, Asian cuisine, serial killer logic, psychology (in general), movies, music, driving without much of a point or purpose, painting, poetry, playing on the merry-go-round... making my mark on someone's life. Trying something new, learning something new, questions and answers. Music, shaving my legs, kissing, makin' chicken, comedy, watching my son explore the world, cuddling, rebellion, the occasional glass of wine with dinner. Amazing people, secluded places where I can think, conversations that last hours. I love hands. Hands say a lot about a person and where they've been-- eyes tell you secrets. Dancing, singing, playing the piano.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can turn MY world upside-down. Someone who can make me feel beautiful simply because of who I am. Someone who will make me laugh 'til I wet myself. Someone who will offer a shoulder to cry on and take me imperfections and all to a higher place in life. Nothing romantic, just... something new. True story. I'd also like to meet all the cats in this video!

A Delicate Ballet

Life is a dance that I used to know well, I had perfected each pirouette, mastered every flick of the hips until it was a poetry I could write with my eyes closed. I had gotten so used to doing it wit...

DisTorTiOn

I stared at myself in the mirror today, until my features ran together, and then seperated into simple shapes. My eyes became two dark circles, no distinction of individuality whatsoever. I searched d...
