About Me

I lead an average life,love average things,and enjoy average people.I'm an extremely open-minded girl. More and more willing to hear both sides of any arguement. I have an artistic and emotional mind. I love all things arts. I'm a tough girl if I need to be, and girly girl when I have the patience!
I've worked in animal shelters for a while, SPCA and Animal Control. I can educate the hell out of anyone about animal care and animal law. If you have any questions about your cat or dog, need to know what declawing actually is or need cheap spaying and neutering, let me know.
I'd still be working with animals if it didn't do such a number on me mentally, it's a tough field. I worked with 10 of the dogs from the Michael Vick case... sweetest dogs in the shelter, hands down. Knowing there was nothing anyone could do to help them, it forced me into a nervous breakdown, and I quit.
I will always respect anyone who has the heart to work with animals, especially in the shelters and as Animal Control officers.
I've had some strange relationships, and I've learned a lot from them. I've been hurt, and I've hurt a lot of other people. I've made stupid mistakes, really stupid, but I'm not going to be all down on myself. As much as I hate sleeping alone, the most important thing I've learned so far is that only YOU can truely make yourself happy.

My Interests

I love art, practice guitar, juggle, unicycle, and fancy animals very much.
Drawing is one of my favorite things to do. I love drawing portraits from photographs. I mainly work in pencil, charcoal, and chalk pastels.

I loved Drama in High School and I thought I'd make a career out of it one day! I've taken a few college courses as well and wish I had continued. Eventually I hope to do some local work...

I love the acoustic guitar and attempt to play occasionally. I look forward to one day meeting someone who'll help me better my playing skills.

I'm a circus nerd. I juggle and unicycle if I ever get the chance... I need a juggling partner! I want to pass clubs... any takers???

I have a decent camera and it takes decent pictures. I'm always willing to help you out if you want a nice picture for your myspace! I can work it out in photoshop too!

I'm loving video games more and more each day. Halo and Bomberman are my favs right now.... I wanna play Bioshock SOOOOOO bad dammit!

I'd like to meet:

Someone who not only loves me more than anything, but also loves themself just as much. Someone who would never hide their pain by covering it with anger. A person who would never judge because of things that are now in the past, and truely 100% show that. Someone who understands that I need to be able to take care of myself before I can commit to that little white house with a picket fence. Someone who can make me laugh and can take a joke just as easily. A person with passion for things in life, it doesn't have to be grand, maybe you have a stamp collection? Someone who'll go to the circus with me and not be afraid to buy light up swords. Someone who's my friend, my support, and my love.

.Happy thoughts.

Yesterday I saved a turtle. My mom called me while I was still in bed to tell me about the "huge turtle in the road" as she stood next to it, obviously too afraid to pick it up and move it herself. S...
