About Me


Lurk all you want
It doesn't matter what you think of me.
I don't need anyone's validation but my own, I have nothing to hide.
I am who I am...
I have come to learn a lot about myself and life and how things work.
Now I could try and go over everyhting I've learned but who wants to read all that?
Didn't think so....
Simply... I have lost a lot of people. People I loved and cared for. These people all taught me a lesson. No matter how much they hurt me there was a lesson to be learned. Nothing lasts forever, and that's ok. Life doesn't so neither will anything else. Things are forever changing but that is the joy in life. Is never knowing what is coming around the corner.
I am stronger than most people realize. I have a constant storm which rages inside of me. Yet my calm exterior fools those around me. Most of the time I can handle the storm do what needs to get done and move on. There are times when the storm becomes too much and a feel like everything is crashing in around me. This is when I turn to those who care about me for help.
I am strong willed and independant. Nothing can stop me from accomplishing a goal I have set. I am too stubborn too fail and too proud to quit.
There are those who run their mouths about me, and they can go ahead. Say what you will about me. I will not sit here and boost how you must be jealous of me yadda yadda yadda. That would be arrogant of me. I just say to you, that I'm sorry that you must talk badly about others to feel better about yourself. I hope that you do not keep that up long, it's a terrible way to live.
One of the most valueable lesson I have learned is: When you begin to take care of yourself, those people who you took care of hate you because you're making them do the same.

My Interests

I love all sorts of icons and banners and such
Here are some of my favorites

I'd like to meet:



I have an amazing boyfriend. There are soo many things about him that I love. He makes me laugh when I want to cry. He holds me when I cry. I know it hurts him that he cant always help. But he helps more than he realizes. I don't know what the future holds but for today I am happy with him and that's what matters. We aren't perfect, sometimes we fight, but we work through our issues. We talk it out and solve the problem. No one is perfect, so how can you expect the perfect relationship? You can't. But ours is with love and caring for one another that I never thought possible.
I love him with all my heart.
Feb 24th, 2007 Always

I love my friends and most of them are like family, and if they aren't yet its only cause we haven't hung out enough. I do my best to be there for eveyone and take care of them. It's just what I do. I do my best to make sure that no one feels alone and that they know no matter what, whether I've known you for only a couple days or years you have someone willing to listen and care.
I may not always be there in person but thats why I have a cell phone, and its ALWAYS on. I love my friends very much and if I tell you I care about you trust me I do. If I tell you that than know that no matter happens I will do me best to help and be there if you ask. It means that if something wonderful happens to you I will rejoice with you. If you get hurt it hurts me too. I don't tell people I care unless I really do. And yes I do care about a lot of people but I care about them all very much. I just have a big heart I guess...

Music:

i LOVE music. Its one of those things in life that no matter what is going on. Whether Im happy, sad, or angry I can find a song that makes me feel better or just one I can relate to. I listen to pretty much everything. I can go from country to metal and not even bat an eye about it. Im just an eclectic type person.

Some lyrics of a few of songs I enjoy And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done
you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you..
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
~Wicked

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch going’ all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she’ll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham
-TRACY LAWERENCE

I'm ok with the way God made me
I have my days but doesn't everybody
It's not always easy for me to believe in myself
But I gotta remember
I'm always gonna be a better me than anyone else
And God doesn't make mistakes
-CAROLYN DAMN JOHNSON

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
-OFFSPRING

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I Love You, until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will Love You
Until my dying day
-MOULIN ROUGE

Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we'd last forever
I feel I'm hopin' and prayin'
Things between us don't get better
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Tellin' you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied
-AKON

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
-BLINK182

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner y'could squeeze me
But I've got all the time for you, love
The Space Between, the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
-DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

How do rumours get started?
Started by the jealous people
They get mad
See something they had
And somebody else is holding
They tell me that temptation
Is very hard to resist
But these wicked woman
Oh, they just persist
Maybe you think it's cute
But girl I'm not impressed
I tell you what I'm only
With my business please don't mess
-THE TIMEX SOCIAL CLUB

I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
Cryin' all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
-MARTINA MCBRIDE

If heaven wasnt so far away
Id pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch em laugh at the way he talks
Id find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Shes a doctor and hed be proud
Then tell him wed be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror wed all watch him wave
And losing them wouldnt be so hard to take
If heaven wasnt so far away
-RHETT ATKINS

She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to be aware of evil men
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
-SUGARCULT

There's a time and place, for everything.
There's a reason why, certain people meet.
There's a destination, for everyone.
What's the explination, when we're done?
All the summer nights spent wondering;
So many questions asked, but no one's answering.
Would it be okay if I left today?
Took my chances on what you said was wrong?
I'm jaded, stupid, and wreckless.
Not sorry, and I'll never regret.
These years spent, so faded and wreckless.
Not sorry, and I'll never regret these years.
I'll never regret these years.
-AEROSMITH

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
-BILLY JOEL

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life
-GREEN DAY

I will stand back up,
Youll know just the moment when ive have enough,
Sometimes im afraid, and i dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,
I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than youd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
Theres a light that just wont let me,
It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up
-SUGARLAND

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice
She hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy
You stupid boy
Oh, I’m the same old, same old stupid boy
It took a while for her to figure out
She could run
And when she did
She was long gone, long gone
-KEITH URBAN

Movies:

Films.... Oh where to begin? I love movies. I dont have a favorite genre. I like them all. Sappy romance, horror, action, comedy, suspense. Whatever it is. Im willing to watch it. Even if its only once.Except for Will Ferrell, I will do practically anything NOT to watch one of his movies. But all in all movies are wonderful. Whether you're going to the theater or cuddling up on the couch.

Coach Boone: This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men. I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family. You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other of not, but you will respect each other. And maybe . . . I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men.

Television:

Can be completely overrated.
I do have certain shows that I love. I actually love to watch documentaries. The history and discovery channels are amazing. You can learn so much. But at the same time I think televisions are not required in every room in a house. I think families should spend time together not centered around TV. I think kids should get out and play outside, instead of sitting on their butts in front of a boob tube.

Books:

Reading...... : )

If only I had more time to do it. I love the worlds that books take you into. I love that you get to imagine what the author is discribing. Not to mention how much you learn. Whether it be books of facts or just good life lessons. They are wonderful

Heroes:
