Hi, I'm Nikki. I'm a 21-year old art student. I plan to get my B.F.A. in art and my Master's in art therapy.
I run a spiritual blog that I like to call the "Blog of Consciousness." I do not adhere to any religion; I just want people to be free to discover their own truths by awakening their sensitivity. Here is a sample for you to see what I'm about. If you like what you read, then keep coming back . We'll take a journey together.
I get a lottttt of fun and educational emails, which I love. (*_*) If I don't respond to yours right away, I will do my best to write you back during the week as I trudge on through the confusion. I hope you'll understand. (^_^)
ATTENTION MUSICIANS:
I'm not accepting add requests from artists. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I was simply getting too many requests from musicians who would simply view my profile once and then never give me the time of day. I'm not impressed by angsty music, but if you really think your sound is unusual, ambient, spacey or uplifting, then send me a message describing your music and I'll have a listen. :-) I just MIGHT add you. I do listen to all genres of music (everywhere from hip hop to Chinese folk), but I generally like instrumentals or intelligent music with a message... so no whiny stuff, please. Spare me. :-P
