I am here for Friends

About Me

me? I'm just your average pirate-loving, book-toting, music-singing, always-dancing, always-laughing... girl. It's really more common than you'd think ;-)
I work for the po-leece, I help keep them alive from the relative comfort of a dispatch center so we can keep the streets safe. I get a big thrill when an officer keys up and says "I've got one in custody." It's the little things, I suppose!! I train other people to do what I do, and try to convince them to love it as much as I do.
Dispite the steady job, I've got a bit of gypsy blood in me... always a wanderer. I've never really found anything to keep me grounded except for my faith, which is extremely important to me. And that only keeps my sanity grounded. I still like to wander in all other aspects of life. Never seen a reason not to, really.
At any rate.. when i'm not working or sleeping i'm playing video games, reading, karaoking, playing pool, or hanging out with friends. Or driving. I play a mean game of poker. I drink sometimes, and I love to dance. I only shop if there's a good deal to be found, and roadtrips relax me. i love the water and the mountains, and someday I'd like to live close to both.
I'm in love with a wonderful guy, and every day he teaches me what it means to love and be loved in return. Sometimes it's harder than you think, but it's always worth it. He makes me want to be a better person.

I AM ALIVE

However, myspace sucks and livejournal sucks and I can rarely ever get onto either due to not having a computer, or internet access. Anyone want to give me a new computer? Meanwhile, if you want to co...

Obligatory 9/11 post

I cried today when we had a moment of silence across the radios at work.  For the lives lost, for the terror that we felt then.  For the memory.  I don't expect everyone to cry, but I d...

Poetry

He says that there is poetry in my soul. He says there is poetry and love, and other beautiful things that I am blind to. I admit I can't see the poetry, I'll even admit there's much I can't see. It's...
