Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see

About Me

I expect amazing things out of life .And I don't expect them to happen sitting around waiting. So what am I waiting for? I found this layout design on PureLayouts.com - check out their MySpace Layouts .

My Interests

Painting geometric patterns. Writing outrageous poetry as an outlet for my practicality. Drinking coffee, the other-drug. Reading Dickens and mourning humanity. Being eternally hopeful, but not unrealistic. Putting my life into the words of other's songs. My friends and where their lives are going. Jesus interests me greatly. Attempting to be thoughtful on Myspace, apparently.

I'd like to meet:

People who do things, who have interests, and who think. Also, who are considerate of other people and who are constantly growing.
