Those people that have come and gone out of my life that still are in my thoughts, friends that make me laugh, and for those friends I will meet. I want to meet those people that love me for my steering wheel dj'ing, for singing in the car, and my goofy quirks. I want to inspire and be inspired by others...And just talk, have some adventures, and see where life leads us...

I use to read a bit more. I usually try to read a few books in Summer, but find it hard during the school year. Textbooks, Textbooks, Textbooks! I have a pile of books I have started and want to work on. I've been encouraged to read more, but am burned out with textbooks. My favorite read so far has been, "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb. It was a long read, but DAMN good!
The Dalai Lama for his patience and peace, my grandma Rafferty for the AMAZING woman that she was, most of my family members for their love, drive, motivation, and support that they have given to me over the years, my friend Trina for her drive & motivation, my friend Crazy-Haired Marci for her patience, optimism, and honesty, my friend Gabby for her strength and honesty..She is like a sister and knows when to call me on my shit, my friend Cara for her support and unconditional love, my Dad for being so great and strong for me (Love Him!), Baltimore City Fire Department, Officer Doug, and so many more! I am pretty DAMN lucky!
