"The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you, if you don't let it get the best

About Me

Well, what I find myself saying a lot is that I'm a visual person. I learn by reading or seeing how something is done. Not that I'm not active, because I am, but I really like to see and observe things. Reading is a big passion of mine, my amazon wish list is ridiculous. For some reason, I'm stuck on the idea of creating my own library eventhough I live on an island and I'm just going to move back to the mainland one day and it's going to be insane to ship it all there. I love a good hardback, but I love the ability to just lug around a paperback when I can. That's the only thing I miss about riding the bus...all that time I had to read. Now I just read instead of doing laundry. Books that are in a series are close to my heart. When a book ends I'm always wanting to know what goes on after the last chapter. The thing is, is that when the series ends then I'm heart broken. I get so attached to the characters, it's like ending a relationship. At least there was an epiloge in the last Harry Potter book...I knew Harry and Ginny would get married! But with twilight...actually, I can't finish that thought because not all of my friends are caught up yet...dont' want to spoil anything! Now that I've bored the hell out of you, please feel free to comment. Talk to you later!

My Interests

Trying to make the best decisions to make my life go in the direction I want it to go in. Which is really difficult...unfortunatly.

I'd like to meet:

Edward, Howard Schultz, Harry Potter and Conrad Devereaux Wade IV.

Music:

I just started running a couple of months ago...so anything upbeat that helps me maintain a good pace while I'm out there is what I like to listen to. And anything Pandora will think I'll like.

Movies:

The only movie I'm thinking about is twilight. The trailer looks sooooo goood!!!!

Television:

My current online tv addiction: The Hills! I just wish my friends watched it so we could talk about it. What the hell is Heidi thinking? Why did Audrina have to get a boob job? The City is going to be awesome!!

Books:

I just read the most amazing book! It's called "A Trip to the Stars" and it was absolutely amazing. The story is about two people that get separated and meet up again fifteen years later and everything that happens while they were apart. I recommend that book to anyone. Another great book is "Dress your family in denim and courdory" by David Sedaris...HILARIOUS!!! Anything by him is a must read. I also just read Twilight, which is a way dorky book...but it's being passed around by my girlfriends, so at least I'm not a lonely dork!

Heroes:

My sister and her full trash bag.
