About Me



What you see is what you get. Dedicated when I believe in the cause and self motivated when I want to be. The friends that I do have in my life I keep close and love dearly. I don't enjoy small talk, I'd rather have awkward silence. I'm just plain jane and enjoy it. I enjoy photography a lot. People are my subject of choice. I dream of owning my own studio, but for now I'll take a great location and nice weather. Enjoy the sun more than you may ever know, I can't even describe the feeling I have when the sun comes out. Winter is not my best season, so for me Missouri is as cold as I'll ever get. Although I'll never move back to California, I do love to visit. I've been fortunate enough to travel a few times including Portugal twice...I recommend anyone to visit the country, it's beautiful. I enjoy reading when I find a book that captures me and I enjoy writing when I find the words to say. I'm just me.
I Am A Green Girl
I feel most at home in a world of ideas.
I'm curious and logical - and enjoy a good intellectual challenge.
I'm super cool, calm, and collected. Very little tries my patience.
My only fear? People not realizing how smart and able I am!
I Am a Normal Girl
I'm 40% Good and 60% Bad
Sure I've pulled some bad girl stunts in my past.
But these days, I'm (mostly) a good girl.

My Interests

Photography - I love to photograph people...I'm not big on baby pictures, but I do love Senior photos and portraites. I really love taking photos of people that make them feel beautiful. I'd really love to do photojournalistic photography as well.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Glenn Beck and just chat... I just love watching him and listening to his show. He's so down to earth...IMO

Music:


All Kinds...Aphrodite, Delerium, Pearl Jam, Ciara, EnVogue, Prince, Tatu, Eminem, Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Lauryn Hill, Oasis, Ying Yang Twins, Bette Midler, Enya, Gwen Stefani, Nine Inch Nails, Doors, Benny Benassi, Keoki, Kosheen, Aimee Mann, Counting Crows, Blur, Verve Pipe, Fatboy Slim, Bangles, Garbage, Republica, Fly Leaf, Paramore, Spears, Five for Fighting, Buckcherry, 50 cent, Outkast, Busta Rhymes, Tenacious D, Diesel Boy, Atomic Babies, U2, Duran Duran, Hootie, Fall out boy, black eyed peas, Aguilera, many soundtracks to musicals, operas, movies and yes even some of Dixie chicks.

Movies:


I just watched "The Business of Giving Birth" a documentary produced by Ricki Lake and it was eye opening! I suggest any women that is or will be pregnant to watch this movie. I know it changed my mind about a lot of things. "Old Boy" is a foreign film that is one of my favorites. I love scary movies - even the predictable ones, I just like to be scared...except by my husband, I hate when he jumps out at me and yells.

Television:


I hate to say it but I do watch reality TV...BOO! I know, but I get hooked on those stupid things. I usually get stuck watching The Hills, Jon & Kate plus 8, Deal or No Deal, Biggest Loser, American Idol, America's Nxt Top Model, The Gaunlet Challenge, Rock of Love, Tila Tequila, Glenn Beck, and lots of other silly shows...not that Glenn Beck is a silly show.

Books:


I'm a Meg Cabot fan. Shel Silverstein, do magazines count? I read a lot of those. Also information books on photography would be something I read alot. I recommend "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by mark haddon.

Heroes:

People who go outside their comfort zone to change the world for the better or help someone. Even if it doesn't work out just the fact that they put themselves out there means something.
