About Me


Hi!..I am an easy going person who is very laid back and full of laughter. I'm Alaskan Native ~ Tsimshian Killer Whale clan, raised in Ketchikan, Alaska and graduate of Kayhi High School - Class of 74 ~~GO KAYHI KINGS~~ My ancestors were from British Columbia originally.
I love to laugh as well as making others laugh too. I have been told I am kind, loving ,and alot of fun to be around. I'm outgoing at least I think so! j/k I like to have a good time no matter what the situation is..as there is ALWAYS something to laugh about.. (sometimes even just the memories)I have a lot of good friends and get along well with almost anyone I meet.
I'm in love with life here in SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.. I enjoy a lot of good things (but can't go there) or will explain later. LOL!!What else you wanna know??Hhhmmmm.......
I have the most, (according to me) amazing children. My beautiful daughter has her grandmothers heart and and inner/outter beauty to match. She is an incredible mommy and adores her daughter the same way I adore her. She is witty, smart, kind, generous and loving to her brothers and family. She is gifted in many areas but will always win you over with her smile and wit!@
My oldest son is incredibly handsome like his father. He is so loving like his grandmother and would do anything for his friends and especially for his family. He is funny, hard working, kind and a fantastic UNCLE to Gracie BELLE! I am truely blessed to have him in my life as my son.
My youngest son is graced with his fathers looks as well :) and a heart that is full of the Lord and MUISC. (just like his mom!) HE is amazingly gifted with love and brings joy to all who know him and see his heart. I love him so much, I can't even put into words how honored I am to be in his life, and see his heart grow as he gets older and learns how much his family loves and supports him. He is an amazing young man. I would DIE without my children in my life daily, because they are so FULL OF LIFE and show me HOW MUCH it means to BE A PART OF THEIRS.. I am truely blessed with all of them... truely!
Most of you who do know me, know I am a good person that see's the good in everyone, but you also know it takes me a long time to trust and open up. Dont take this personally if you are just getting to know me, for I am on guard till I know its safe..
Music ~ MUSIC.. I am all about MUSIC! "MUSIC" makes me happy it make me smile when i am lonely, it is my companion where ever I am be it alone or in a huge crowded room.. Music is the one CONSTANT in my life. I think musicians are brilliant and underappreciated. MUSIC just feels good, and SOUNDS good.. MUSIC makes me happy. I have a 200 GIG hard drive full of all types of music. Just to appease my 60 GIG iPOD!! LOL
I think the glow of the full moon on the ocean is transcendent. I think life is rich, difficult, savory, frustrating, and joyous.
I definitely have an uninhibited side that certain people or situations tend to bring out in me. I am very open-minded and easily intrigued by the unknown, I love to ask questions, explore new ideas and experience new things. I enjoy getting to know people, because beyond the surface is truely what makes them who they are, what they think about and how they feel about things and what they have persoanlly experienced.
I am a believer that everything in life happens for a reason, I aspire to find those reasons and continue to grow and learn more about myself along the way. I find real meaning in loyalty, trust, honesty, intimacy, openness and most importantly, good communication.
I am a True, HOPE FILLED Romantic! And because of this, I have been hurt a time or two. Somestimes by the same man.. sad but true.
I do things to help others because I want to, not because I expect anything in return. I was raised to treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated. I was raised with old fashioned morals and values.
I'm a strong & determined woman & if you can't handle it that's your own insecurities. In case you missed my moto: "I'll let no man mistake me and no man break me!"
Respect is a given and honesty is a must. Simple rules...but now a days some of you forget. I'll admit I'm hard to love but even harder to let go. Love me or hate me ...you DAMN sure won't FORGET me!!
I have secrets. I might share them. I'm like no one you've ever met.
As are you.
I am...above all... A LADY. One with CLASS and MORALS ~

My Interests

I LOVE/COLLECT all types of Tsimshian/Native Art. I enjoy doing graphics and web pages.. BUT my PASSION is working on Computers!

All things creative. Theology, philosophy and reading. I think life is richer when we all throw ourselves headlong into our passions, and damn the critics.

Things that interest me , Wow, that is alot of things , lol , I am a curious person , so i like just about anything , that challenges me or my mind. I love to learn .

I'm a gal who is sensitive, compassionate and loves to laugh and daydream. I have a warm heart and spirit and I am wise and experienced. I have a lot of wonderful things to offer this world! Now, can I toot my horn any louder for ya? :)
Cool Stuff at BlingJam.com

I LUV local coffee, healthy food, spending time with MY INCREDIBLE CHILDREN, and my friends. I LOVE animals, profound conversations, good listeners, honesty, spirituality, loyalty, modesty, confidence, all forms of art, passion, love, flirting, dancing, body piercings, tattoos, leather, having fun, laughing, shopping, camping, anything outdoors, traveling, gadgets and NEW TECHNOLOGY...

I think artists of any sort are the singularly most ignored population of our society, but one of the most important. I love Art~ Books ~ *wink*... shoes and purses~as well :) Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

I'd like to meet:



I've always wanted to meet Nelson Mandela. His 1994 Inaugural speech is one of my favorite cures to the blues or when inspiration is needed. Also, Jane Austen and Maya Angelou for being the women that they are and for helping me become the women I endeavour to be....

I would like to meet all kinds of REAL people, regardless of color, creed, sexual preference, or religion. I long to meet people who are willing to create synapses in their heads to learn, and teach me something new. I desire to meet everyone out there that thinks no one cares, and that no one wants to listen, the unheard and the outspoken.

People who have something to say. Who think and put those thoughts into words or art. Who have compassion and sensitivity. People with opinions of their own. People with talent who like to share the beauty of those talents. Those who dream and want to share their dreams. People who are willing to risk reaching for the stars no matter how many times they may fall. I like people who are unique in their own ways.

I am attracted to realness and with all of it's properties what ever they may be. I want to meet my GLOBAL FAMILY..and who can make me smile...I want to meet YOU!

I long for more friends who are ambitious, outgoing, full of life, passionate....all of my friends I guess are like this. I love to talk to to ALL people and bring them to the surface and share a smile with me. I'm in awe of the people who make me LAUGH or make me stumble on my every thought and word.....very humbling. sooo.. MAKE ME LAUGH !

The best gift one can give is time and love,and most of all RESPECT~ as everyone needs love and to hear the words "I love you" and to take the time to email, write, call, someone just to say hello how are you doing.

My MOTTO~ Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Have a wonderful day and GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS~

Music:

Without music, life would be a mistake.

I love to go out shopping (shoes get me everytime :}) Nothing makes me do a "double take" faster than a sale rack! I love a good Frappacino at Starbucks and to people watch..with my 60 gig iPOD to keep me company

Lets take a look inside of me. Inside of me there is Wisdom which in this life is always the principle thing. There is Joy, don't worry it will rub off on you too. There is the most beautiful thing in the world you can ever desire and that is a God'S Breath ~ Friend. There is Peace that helps me to understand you when your world is upside down and to control me when mine is upside down, There is always Hope inside me, so when all else fails I just hope again.

My eyes sparkle with kindness, my heart sings with gentle melodies, and my lips rejoice as my destiny continues to unfold in front of me. Dreams are desired goals that God photographs and develpos into reality, So Tell me Am I Your Reality. Would you like to be friends?

Have a ROMANTIC day and hit me up sometimes I am always on line somewhere awaiting your destiny. If you send me a message I will respond.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Movies:



Nothing better then a comedy! I love to laugh. But most of all I enjoy a.. SWEET .. "cuddle". "OHHH ENNIT"....

PAY IT FORWARD! BEST MOVIE EVER MADE! I love The Big Chill. Hate scary movies. I won't go see them, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I love a good tear jerker, or comedy. Cold Mountain was great for that, one minute you were pissed, the next you were cracking up. :)

Television:

Dexter ROCKS! Soprano's ~ Grey's Anatomy ~ Inked ~ Hart & Harrington ~ OVERHAULIN~ HISTORY CHANNEL ~ Discovery Channel ~ Big LOVE ~ WEEDS~

Books:

This is an easy one, I like so many authors.... I have read everything by Stephen King, Robert Ludlum, Dan Brown, Frank Herbert and Michael Crichton, Janet Devareaux, Left Behind Series*WOW* Loved them :) I love adventure novels and novels dealing with Christianity. I love to read so I will read just about anything!
Because I LOVE BOOKS. I have favorite books that I have read, and trust me I have read a lot. The first one is "A Time To Kill" I was so pissed off after reading the first 2 pages I couldn't put it down. It takes a lot to get me ensnared in a book in 2 pages, but John Grisham did it with this one! Every parent should read it. You will be outraged almost immediateley!
I love Anne Rice (not just her Vampire books, but also her Erotica books) her Sleeping Beauty Series was AWESOME! Not for the easily embarassed, you must have an open mind to read this series, but if you do, it is an incredible journey she takes you on!

MY FAVORITE POEM MY EE CUMMINGS
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Heroes:

A man that steals your love when your love is all you got, isn't a much of man
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."
My Beloved Mother...."You will always walk with us, Mother, even though you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence......." She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
Here is how NOT to be a hero:
-Laugh at other people's misfortune. Seeing someone get their ass kicked horribly in a video is NOT funny. -Clown the kid in your class who isn't as smart as you. Matter of fact, if you make fun of anyone who is less fortunate, less intelligent or less attractive than you, you are an UGLY person. -Look the other way when five guys jump another instead of trying to stop them. NEVER STAND BY OR LOOK THE OTHER WAY! Ok, so if you aren't a badass, then call the police! At least yell for help. And by the way, this goes out to all the tough guys who gang up on people - if you need more than yourself to beat someone's ass then you are a BITCH. -Disrespect women. No, women and men are NOT equal, either physically or mentally. We are designed different and that's just how it is - but NEITHER a man nor a woman is "better" than the other simply because he is a man or a woman. Judge everyone based on who they are, not WHAT they are.
And if you put your hands on a woman and it's not in self-defense? Then you are less than a BITCH.
