I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm pretty much crazy--not in the normal way you think about being crazy but in my own unique way. because who wants to be just like everyone else? i'm stubborn, and strong-willed, and i love people like crazy, and i love Jesus even more than that. i have big dreams, and deep passions, and i love life (even when it sucks).actually, those are the only things i can say about me. i used to think that i knew who i was but having changed so much over the last several years i realized this: the things that you thought were the most unchangeable parts of you are sometimes the most fluid, and nothing is ever permanent. God is even crazier than i am so all bets are off.that's what makes life so much fun!

My Interests

i love being with people, being with God, conversation, music (listening and playing), watching movies, reading, walking at night, badminton, driving, traveling, and doing ministry

I'd like to meet:

c.s. lewis, john eldredge, the man in the moon, katherine hepburn, the apostle paul, taylor hudson, pallas athena, smith wigglesworth, queen elizabeth, Patrick Healy, one of the major prophets--probably jeremiah...he was pretty cool.

Music:

my tastes are wide in this area. i really just like anything original, but here is a cross-section:snow patrol, the cure, anberlin, afi, interface, david crowder band, regina spektor, the clash, foo fighters, depeche mode, death cab for cutie, the kooks, chevelle, green day, the beatles, panic in the disco, thedriveback, emery, united, the white stripes, black eyed peas, imogen heap, postal service, coldplay, frank sinatra, the almost, dave matthew's band, the killers, flyleaf, keane, black eyed peas, hardfi, queen, muse, the fray, blindside, my chemical romance, the strokesand on, and on, and on...

Movies:

i love old black and white movies (anything with katherine hepburn or cary grant), and "make you think" movies, and foreign films, and gratuitous action/violence. cat on a hot tin roof, crash, pride and prejudice (the new one), v for vendetta, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, monty python and the holy grail, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, 300, before sunrise, before sunset, amelie, pan's labyrinth, hero, mad max, the lord of the rings trilogy, stranger than fiction, across the universe...

Television:

i really don't watch tv anymore. i used to watch the simpson's and the original csi. for a while i watched alias. i watch lost after the seasons comes out on dvd. i love the office. america's next top model also makes for some quality entertainment.

Books:

oh...so many books. i love science-fiction/fantasy books, not all of them, but the good ones. pretty much anything by c.s. lewis. i love the chronicles of narnia and the lord of the rings. i also love anything by john eldredge and donald miller. i always enjoy reading fairy tales--grimm brothers are really good and so is any kind of mythology. i really enjoy reading the classics too--especially jane austen. pride and prejudice (which is even better as a book), jane eyre, wuthering heights, tale of three kings and divine romance are both amazing (gene edwards pretty much rocks my world!), his dark materials series, the circle triolgy by ted dekker, hitchiker's guide to the galaxy (also even better as a book), shakespeare, the odyssey...

Heroes:

i'm not sure i know what a hero is. there aren't many people that i look up to. maybe that is a pride thing, or maybe it's just because i don't want to be like anyone else--i just want to be me.but there are people who have changed my life forever, and so maybe that makes them heros.God, lauren johnson (plute now), mary saviano, buck forsythe, pastor kevin, my first year isi

Love That Matters

I offer this question: What is love? That is the question I have been asking myself for several weeks now. What is love? What does it look like? What does it feel like? Does it feel different to love ...

God of the Impossible

So God has been teaching me a lot lately; a lot having to do with his sovereignty and involvement in the details of my life. I am realizing that God is so much more intimately involved than I had ever...

Fix your eyes on what?

So I am not even really sure what this is going to be about, I just feel like writing. That usually means that something really good and profound will come out that I hadn't even thought about be...

Hearing but not quite...

..> So this will be kind of short because I am tired, but I haven't written anything in a while and I feel like sharing... Do you ever get the feeling that God is trying to tell you something, and...

Idolatry

So I was thinking about some things the other day.  I do that quite often--in fact I don't actually ever stop thinking (all the girls said amen, and all the guys have no concept of what I am talk...

Love

This seems to be a popular subject in my blogs, but since God is love and the highest commandments to us have to do with love, I can't be too far off base.  I read this on the background of one o...

Honesty and Pain

What is it that doesn't allow us to be really honest about things.  We aren't honest with each other, with God, even with ourselves a lot of times.  Why do we always try to hide and mask and...
