I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Being the only girl in a family of boys, I am very much a self entertainer, and as much as I don't need my friends 24/7, life sure wouldn'tbe the same without them! Over the years, I've come to find out that true friends are very difficult to find and once you have more than twoor three, you have everything you'll ever need. My friends mean the world to me, and I would anything for them. My little brother is prettycool too, and he tries his best to look out for me, even though I am the older one. There's just something about him being the "bigger" onethat gives him the rights to that...

I am a daughter, a sister, a grand-daughter, a niece, a cousin, and most importantly a friend. I am a partner and a student. I'm a younggirl and grown woman. I am confident and scared, terrified and excited. I am loving, and caring, and thoughtful, and hopeful. I am shy andfriendly, careful and careless. I am misunderstood and misguided and mislead. I am hardworking and determined. I wish on stars anddream my dreams. I smile on the outside while I'm dying on the inside. I believe in passion, but not in true love. I want you, but not soclose. I am everything and nothing all at once. I can reason, but am not always reasonable. I'm not perfect, but I believe in myself.

Books:


Your Element Is Fire
Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame.
You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.
You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable.
You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.
Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive.
Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many. What's Your Element?

You Are A Maple Tree
There's not anyone in this world quite like you.
You are full of imagination, ambition, and originality.
Shy but confident, you hunger for new experiences.
You have a good memory and learn easily.
You are sometimes nervous and always complex (especially in love). What's Your Celtic Horoscope?
You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament
Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.
It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.
At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.
You Are a Realist
You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass.
You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is...
But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.
You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope. Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?

Heroes:


LAURA-- You are the sister I never had. We constantly fight and call each other names. We can't agree on anything- even what to watch on tv. But that makes us who we are. I can't imagine how different how I would be if you hadn't been around to help me cause trouble in girl scouts and everywhere else. You have taught me how to be myself and take pride in it. I may have taken that to an extreme here and there, but you can thank yourself for teaching me how to! :) I love you, and whenever I finally move out of here, I will miss you more than anything else around here. You had better come visit me!
KRYSTAL-- Throughout all the times that I was trying to decide whether to contract or not, and then the whole time that I was wanting to quit, you were there for me. You didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, although I think you might have a time or two to keep me from completely hitting rock bottom, you really did help me out. The motivation you gave me was what I was needing. I'm happy that for whatever reason you sat down next to me that day in MSI class :) I got a great friend and a great roommate out of the deal. No matter where the military takes you, you know that I will always only be a phone call and a plane ride away.
AMANDA-- If I ever have children (heaven forbid!) and they ask me what college was like, I can't even think of a "college" story without you in it! There is so much that we have gone through together that life just wouldn't be the same without. All those summer nights full of drinking, gaming, and hot-tubbing are definitely part of the college experience, don't you think? Not to mention all of those 8:00am classes that I tend to oversleep because we closed down the bar the night before ;) I look forward to many more of those midnight phone calls threatening me if I don't "get my ass out of the bed right now" and meet you where ever it is that you are. There are definitely more slideshow/DVDs to come, and who knows, maybe one of these days we will actually get around to taking one of those trips we keep talking about!
KATIE-- I honestly don't know what I would without you on some days! We have had so many good times whether it be enforcing the dress code at Jim's or driving around in the middle of the night. I'm looking forward to this semester just because I know you will be around a lot more than you were this summer. I'm sure there will be many more nights of pizza, beer, and our sillyness, and I can't wait. Graduation is not far off, good luck!
SAMANTHA-- From high school til now we have only grown closer. And one day we will get out of Tennessee!! We can both dream big together and laugh and giggle about whatever silly dreams we are having that day. I am so happy to have you in my life. You can make me see what I don't want to see out of life, but should. You are so easy to talk to. Can't wait to help you with the wedding plans!
ANDREW-- You are my problem solver. Now, I'll admit, I don't always take your advice, but I do always hear it and weight it into my decision. You are the only one in the family that I can actually talk to. Don't let this baby thing make you a stranger!
