About Me

I'd say I'm pretty easy going...I like just about everybody. I love to read, write, make music, art. I like black and white photography. And painting. I like to throw pottery as well. I can blow glass. I want to teach art to little kids. I like dolls. I like retro and mod things. I like meeting new people. I love my friends. I don't like being grown up too much, there is too much to do. I hate working. I like flowers and plants. I love nice people. I love being nice to people and doing nice things. Being happy is the best. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. I hug trees, too.

My Interests

music, reading, being with people i like, drawing, painting, singing, playing guitar, playing piano, writing, plants, parks, animals, attending concerts, going to art shows, cooking, loving, driving, drinking, taking pictures, living.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Maynard James Keenan, Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn. I guess most of them are dead. In reality, I'd like to meet anyone who loves life as much as I do. People who are unique and aren't the kind of people that look and act like everyone else. I like to meet people who know who they are, people who aren't afraid of doing what makes them happy, regardless of what other people think. I like people who are themselves.

it's hard to repair a broken heart, especially when it's not your own

it's absolutely ridiculous the amount of unnecessary pain that people put others through. extremely painful realizations occur in such constance that happiness seems like a stranger on one's doorstep....
