About Me

So you're a daredevil, eh? I dare you: Make me love you.I'm shaky, but still solid, as I gaze up into your eyes, and I know that look of yours--that will be my demise.Time to separate, realize, our whole lives are laid out, right in front of us, waiting to be seized. Well, what are you waiting for?"What sorts of things are you good at?" he asked. "Mainly life," I answered, "But I do tend to work best with things that have a high tolerance for mistakes." THE SONG I'M SINGIN LATELY: I will fall into the broken sunshine of my life,
I'll find the rays of light peaking through the streaks of grey tonight,
Maybe one day, I'll be everything you wished that I could be...
but until then, I'm just me.
Nothing else, nothing more, just a neutral sort of being,
always changing, rearranging, and taking from the scene,
never better, always sweeter than what you wished for--
it leaves me always standing at your door. Pretty simple:Motto: Theme I attempt to live by: . PART ONE: "God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist." -St. Augustine. PART TWO: A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice EVERYTHING else for it. Nothing comes without strings, without a price. So before you make decisions you can't take back, you'd better figure out exactly what it is you're willing to sacrifice. Going after what makes you happy may mean forfeiting what you know is right. And letting yourself love means abandoning the fortress of walls you've spent your life building to protect yourself. The most difficult things to sacrifice are the things we don't expect to be required. When we aren't given time to strategize and measure loss versus gain, when the battle chooses us, that's when sacrifice can be more than we can bare.Something I should have learned earlier:Taken in context, it's not a bad thing. But when you pick it apart, it all gets so depressing. You peel back the layers and get down to the inside, but sometimes you lose sight of what it is you were trying to find. It's that sort of thing that makes you think too much. And it's that sort of thing that makes you lose your objectivity. So if you made it, just be glad that you did and stay there. IF YOU EVER FELT LOVED OR NEEDED, JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE ONE OF THE LUCKIER ONES. And when it's over, just remember what I told you: It was bound to happen. So just keep moving on, THERE ARE NO PERFECT ENDINGS.I am me. There's a lot to know about everyone, so I'm not going to try to smash it into this little space. But definately: LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM.I show my love with physical affection and quality time.Basically, I was made this way for a reason by the All-Knowing Creator. I don't know why yet either, so if you figure it out, drop me a line. :]It's probably a better plan to: MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR.A lot of times I do things that suck, but I try to be a good person mostly. I tend to mess things up, but it's not for lack of trying.Life is not about the victory, what counts is what you learned in the struggle, and instead of waiting for the storm to pass, you should get your butt out there and dance in the rain.I'm over the drama, kids.I love people, primarily. I'm more than likely to like you. Or at least, I will love something I'll learn from you. And if you're worthy, TAKE MY HEART, JUST DON'T BREAK IT .And I'm not trying to be in the least bit perfect or even nearly close, but parts of me are pretty awesome sometimes. Stick around, and you might find out just what I'm talking about.Life is not about how many breaths you take, but how many moments take your breath away.I try to take life one day at a time, but sometimes a few days attack me all at once.He told me that he dabbled in the art of love and the avoidance of consequence, said, "I could elaborate, darling, but it all just sounds the same." "Something that one must come to understand is that life is FULL of little misconceptions. For example, when you said you'd guard my heart, I thought you'd intended to do so with your life, while you meant until the hero's allure wore thin. Don't worry, darling, just a simple misunderstanding.""Lost & found: the continuum, the sole nonvariable. What've I lost seeking what I've acquired somewhere in my thoughts' disarray? I glimpsed promises held yielded in your eyes, lost now in your effortless blink. I fear I've only seen the eye of the storm."Random: ♥I go to CSU Fresno. ♥Some people are bad drunks. I'm a bad sober. ♥I'm not into manwhores. Or girl ones. ♥If you need something, I'm more than likely GLAD TO HELP. ♥I love deeply. "Love takes up where knowledge leaves off." -St. Thomas Aquinas ♥The things we love tell us who we are. So I guess we've all figured out by now that I will put up with A LOT. ♥I'd go to the ends of the earth for the ones I love. ♥Wasting time with the people you love is the BEST thing in the world. ♥ The girls and I...often confused for crackheads. ♥ We're only as strong as the drinks we mix, the tables we dance on, and the chicas we roll with. And trust me, we're some tough-ass bitches. ♥I hate double standards. I don't always mind their enforcement. ♥Natural is the way to go. ♥I like GENUINE people, and I try my best to always be honest and true. ♥I'm not going to lie to you, so if you want a pretty answer, ask someone else. I'm honest almost to a fault. ♥If you can't be honest, just don't talk to me, okay? ♥Have enough decency not to cheat, please. Millions of people do it every day, it's not that hard. ♥I am LOW MAINTENANCE and a CHEAP DATE, but I much appreciate attention. ♥I like to DANCE. ♥I have strong opinions, but I'm OPEN. ♥I only want to talk to you on the phone if you can HOLD A CONVERSATION. ♥I'm always down to chill with the boys. ♥BUT I tend to like most things and most people. ♥I rock flip-flops, flats, hoodies, and jeans. ♥Life is too short to spend three hours getting ready. And if you are a boy that can't get ready that fast, please get a life. ♥I like to get dressed up SOMETIMES. ♥I looooove music. Taking Back Sunday=favorite, due to personal significance. and their concert was one of the best nights of my life. ♥I like to be ACTIVE. ♥I love to read, and read, and read. If you don't want to be there for hours, don't take me to Borders. ♥Favorite song=New American Classic. ♥I like Frostys, crepes, Me 'N' Ed's pizza, Olive Garden breadsticks, Quizno's steak sandwhiches, Root Beer King Fries, Smoothie Mix Skittles, Smith's cookies, French Onion soup and Caesar salad, Eggo waffles, chocolate muffins, Sonic Cranberry Limeade, Panda Express orange chicken/chow mein, pad thai, pineapple fried rice, Fettucine Alfredo, teppanyaki, Chipotle quesadillas and Tahoe Joe's. I'm an eater, mmkay? And that's how I like it. ♥I know, I'm commercialized. Much to my dismay, I'm affected by the allure of marketing. ♥Don't buy my love, EARN IT.psp lyts text bold big small
