About me:
You Are 11% Selfish
In other words, you're a warm, caring considerate person.
Just make sure to get your way sometimes. There's a fine line between unselfish and pushover. How Selfish Are You?I am basically a laid back person, I don't get angry easy, and I dont stress often. I absoutely hate drama, but for some reason it always finds me. I CANNOT stand girls who are drama queens, it drives me so incredibly insane. I think there is more to life then bitching and fighting, thats why its easier for me get along with guys sometimes! I "don't sweat the small stuff", I think its more important to be happy then worry about stupid shit. My mom tells me Im horribly stubborn, which sometimes I agree. I am shy when you first meet me, but when I get to know you I will eventually open up. I'm one of those people that is shy around people they don't know. In general and by habit I am a pretty private person very few people truly know me, but if you try to know me I will let you in!! I have very high hopes for my future and very determined to get what I want out of life, no matter how long it takes me. I am very passionate about music, I honestly don't know what I would do without it. I've always got a song on, or one in my head. That is probably why I am minoring in Music Therapy, because its therapy for me! I love going to see local bands and concerts. Other than that I don't know what to tell ya!! :)

Words to LIVE by:
*~Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy.*~
*~"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." ~* Muhammad Ali
*~"Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times." ~*
"Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours."
Swedish Proverb

Movies:

I love to watch movies, but I just don't do it often enough. I tend to like chick flicks, c'mon what girl doesn't? Action movies usually don't appeal to me, or anything sci-fi (i.e Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars.. no thank you!) Some of my favorites are: Mr Holland's Opus, Walk the Line, Almost Famous, Simon Burch, Powder, 40 year old virgin, Mystic River, Gothika, What lies beneath, How to lose a Guy in ten days, Rent, I am Sam, Walk to Remember, American Beauty, Dazed and Confused, the notebook (yes, the biggest chick flick ever!), Drumline, the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, remember the titans, coach carter, etc. etc...

Television:

Reality TV. If anyone knows me, they know I dig the reality tv! Ya know like all the goodies: Real World, Trading Spouses, Biggest Loser, Wife Swap but my absoulte favs are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Desperate Housewives! Oh can't forget about Dr. Phil and Oprah.
