"Put your ear to the sky and listen, darling...everything whispers I love you..."
-Jason Anderson
I have an old lady name, and a lot of the time I enjoy old lady things. I am a local music promoter, I run a record label, I am a full-time college student, and am engaged. I also play in two bands and really really like people. Most of the time, that is. One of my secrets is that sometimes I record music under the moniker Starla Starlight. It's really lame, so don't listen to it.

[ Always try to stay positive: Obligatory New Year Post...]

2006 was an intense and rocky year. A lot of the good, the bad, and the ugly happened, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I left this past year feeling better about my outlook on life, and havi...

Remember that feeling you get, when your heart's too big for your chest?

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb...

...maybe how I feel will help it detonate? (Knowing my luck, probably not.) I've come to the conclusion that summers in Phoenix= sleeping for a majority of the day and then staying up until un-G...

I had way too much coffee at Denny's tonight with Amber and Scooter. Now, I am wired, can't sleep, and as always, thinking too much about...everything. Mom's still in town, and the fights are still p...

Time travel is lonely...

I can't quite put my finger on it, but ever since yesterday, I haven't felt completely myself. Nothing terribly bad happened, but for some reason, I feel as though I really lost something. Something t...

[ This is where our hearts collide...]

Sometimes you just encounter people that really know how to shake the very foundation that you walk on. In this case, all I can really say is that I haven't been this stressed out and confused in a wh...

Mixing it up a little...

Lately I've been feeling as though my brain (and my heart) has/have been going into full overdrive. Packing up all my stuff to move into my new apartment, playing catch up with school and work, and th...
