About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace Layouts"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." --Jack Kerouac
"Without music, life would be a mistake." --Friedrich Nietzsche
"No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies." --Daisy Bates
"Do not hate the woman who intimidates you; hate the woman who belittles you."
I don't like describing myself in writing. I don't think it captures my true essence. The only way to really know and understand me is to experience me in person. Some adjectives I would use are: outgoing, social, unique, charismatic, talkative, cute, funny, smart, honest, loyal, entertaining, flirtatious, vibrant, assertive, optimist, cat-lover, and tomboy. But does that really capture who I am? The one thing I can say with certainty is that I've undergone quite a bit of self growth in the past few years and am proud of who I am and what I stand for. If you want to know more about me, then ask my friends how the world is affected by my presence.
My personality type is an ESFJ (Extravert, Sensor, Feeler, Judger). People of this type tend to be active, friendly and energetic; outgoing, affectionate and talkative; concerned about others and careful to be polite and cooperative; realistic, literal and conscientious; highly sensitive and easily hurt; organized, responsible and conventional. The most important thing to ESFJs are their relationships and helping people in real and practical ways.

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet cool, fun people. People who aren't afraid to be themselves. I am at my best when I work off of good social interaction. I get more animated and funny when I have good people around me. So those are the type of people I want to meet. No drama, just cool people being who they are, not trying to pretend. And of course I want to meet Bono from U2 again. Not just shaking his hand and having that five word interchange, but a real conversation with him. I find him fascinating...
