Feeling a bit inspired so here it goes...
I have been on this little journey lately to figure out who I am. I always thought that what defined me was my job, my car, where I lived, what I wore, etc. because it seems as though that is what we are told defines us. However, I have finally realized that all of that really has little to do with "me". No matter what job I had or what car I drove "I" never changed. This is because who I really am is all of those qualities within that make me human, that make me feel alive, that bring life to my soul. My spirit. And that never changes. So...while I was out there searching for who I was, I happened to know all along. Sure, all of those other things help define me a bit, but honestly I believe I have a pretty good idea of who I am without taking any of those things into account.
Another thing. Those really close to me are really the only ones who know a lot about me. It takes awhile to get to know me. And even then, everyone will have a different "version" of me because we all share different experiences together. My sister is not going to know me the same way as a boyfriend would. My mom would have a completely different view. I guess the only other person besides myself that will have the most complete understanding of who I am will be my future husband...so good luck and listen up if you're out there.
Here's a tad bit of who I am and what I believe.
I have a HUGE love of family. I love them more than anything. I would do anything for them. All of them. Those who are very close to me, meaning my family and a few really close friends, are loved with everything in me. It actually amazes me how much love I feel for these people. These are the people who really know me.
I have a HUGE love for music. My entire life flows to music. I have a song or music group (or maybe a few) picked out for just about every person I know and every event in my life. Music affects my mood drastically and helps me along. I know exactly what to listen to if I want to get ready to party, wind down for the night or if I want to cry my eyes out. It is probably one of the few things in my life that I have always been passionate about. And I absolutely love being introduced to new music and will love you forever if you bring me something great!

Here are some other things that make me feel alive: the rain - running in it, listening to a storm approaching, making out in a car during, hearing the raindrops pelt against a window, thunder and lightning and total downpour, being drenched and dancing in...the rain. It's a wonderful thing. Dancing - wether I'm doing it or I'm watching it I love the movement of the human body. The rhythm and flow with the music. I much prefer to be doing the dancing than watching it, but I can always appreciate a good show. And I love it all - ballet, jazz, salsa, tango, flamenco, modern interpretive...whatever it is that lets you express the music. Makes me feel alive. Love - loving my family, being head-over-heals in love with somebody, feeling the amazingly warm feeling in my heart, would do anything for the person love. Crying when they cry, laughing when they laugh, want to protect them from the world love. Without love I would be nothing.

Some other things that make me love every day of my life...Liam telling me how much fun he is having playing with me, Peytin's laughter and juicy kisses, strawberry cheesecake ice cream, the smell in the air during fall, driving by horses everyday on the way home from work, laughing with Mike, hugs from my sister-in-law Kim, playing soccer and running around til I feel like I'm going to die, watching movies that make me cry, doing something to help out someone else, buying myself flowers (or receiving them - I love flowers), singing my heart out with Sarah, crying with Kimmy, long conversations with Sammy, going to Tony's Pizza - the taste of youth, capturing the moment, the tingling feeling you get when you are really close to someone you really like, staring up at the stars at night, the feeling you get during the first big drop on a rollercoaster (I love rollercoasters!), it works on a swing too, text messages from good friends, big bear hugs from my dad, my mom running her hand down my hair and patting me on the head like I'm still her little girl, seeing how much Sam and Jason love each other, travelling to new places, the first bite of my favorite food or one I have never tried, laughing so hard I cry which is pretty easy to do when I'm with my sisters, being totally into a sporting event and cheering like crazy for a team, painting, poetry, great conversations, meeting cool new people, sports or activities that give me a rush like skydiving and parasailing, making jewelry, writing, the perfect kiss, taking pictures, being inspired, feeling passion for something or someone. I think that's good enough for now.
Yeah, so this is a little bit of who I am. I may change a bit, add a little, take a away a little, but this is essentially me - as far as you will know for now. ;)
PHENOMENAL WOMAN
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
MAYA ANGELOU

Music:


Myspace Layouts

I Love Music! All sorts of music. My all time favorite would have to be Depeche Mode. I've loved them forever. I like most of what's played on KROQ. I like most of what used to be played on KROQ. I like being introduced to new things. I like music you can dance to. Music you can chill to. I play different types of music depending on my mood. Ok, here's my list: Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse, The Killers, 30 Seconds to Mars, Foo Fighters, Incubus, everyone on the Garden State soundtrack - The Shins, Remy Zero, Zero 7, Frou Frou (Thank you Zach for having such good taste), Gypsy Kings, KINKY, Gorillaz, Green Day (the new stuff), Angels and Airwaves, 311, Jimmy Eat World, The Clash, Korn, Tool, Pink Floyd, The Bravery, Interpol, The Cure, The Cult, The Smiths & Morrissey, New Order, Tears for Fears, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smithereens, Blur, Live, Metallica, INXS, U2, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, STP, GNR, Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz, Dave Matthews, No Doubt, Crowded House, The Beatles, Cary Brothers, Joshua Radin, Snow Patrol...I could go on. I also have particular songs I really like because they are associated with memories or they are just good songs - Hotel California (The Eagles), But Not Tonight (Depeche Mode), Don't You (forget about me)(Simple Minds), Open Arms (Journey), Still Remains (STP), Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton), Fade Into You (Mazzy Star), The entire Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, Fade to Black (Metallica), Bamboleo (Gypsy Kings), Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve). I have a lot more but that's enough for now. I can't take La Ley Unplugged out of my cd player. And...if you think there is something out there that I would like, please let me know. I always love hearing new music.

Movies:

I like all sorts of movies. Favorites are Garden State, Love Actually, Run Lola Run, Crash, Wedding Crashers, Full Metal Jacket, Office Space, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, Say Anything, The Breakfast Club, Dead Poets' Society, Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate, Memoirs of a Geisha, Life is Beautiful and I'm sure many more I can't think of right now. I'm also a sucker for Merchant & Ivory films and West Side Story. I don't watch movies too often but I go through phases where I feel the need to catch up so I watch a ton of them at once. I also really like Buffalo 66 and Requiem for A Dream - thanks Steve. My favorite movies are those that bring out emotions to the extreme. They make me laugh like crazy or cry a river. I love horror movies but it is rare that they really freak me out.

Television:

I like Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Scrubs, the Law and Orders especially SVU, Nip/Tuck and some sports.

Books:

I love to read. Trying to read more lately. Just finished reading Like Water for Chocolate. It made me want to cook. Loved the movie and thought it was time to read the book. I couldn't put The DaVinci Code down once I picked it up. Some books that stand out that I really liked - Catcher in the Rye, Demian, A Separate Peace, A Room with a View, The Great Gatsby, a good portion of Shakespeare's plays, Maeve Binchy books, lots of others I can't think of right now. I need to reread a lot because I forgot a lot of them. I also really like the poetry of Pablo Neruda and Robert Frost among others. Just recently got into Neruda and he's amazing.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE IMAGES

Heroes:


Everyone in my family - My dad for working so hard from a young age, my mom for having 5 kids and doing a great job (and looking so hot for having 5 kids - glad I have your genes), Mike for being able to do anything and be friends with anybody, Sam for working her ass off and succeeding, Sarah for going to hell and back and being the amazing woman she is today, and Kimmy for always being so wise for someone so young. I love you all so much!
