Sometimes the thrill of soaring has to begin with the fear of falling.

About Me

Challenge, Adventure, Love, Laughter, Good Times. I don't like to sit still. I love being in the eye of the tornado. If life wasn't challenging it wouldn't be any fun. I am just a down to earth, Christian girl who took a chance on herself and moved to this big city to chase a dream. I love and adore my family and friends. They mean the world to me. I like adventure. Don't let the pictures or my demeanor fool you, I am full of surprises. Don't let your guard down.

My Interests

Acting, dancing, playing guitar, singing, finding new music, running, horseback riding, hanging out with my friends, espcially the new ones I have made at Mosaic. Watching movies, helping people, especially teenagers, discover their voice in this world.

I'd like to meet:

People who love life and who love people. Eccentric people who are following their dreams in arenas in which others find success unlikely. Follow your bliss.

Music:

I really enjoy all kinds of music. I am especially into music that is new and eclectic. I like spreading the word about unknowns. Otherwise, here's a list - Big Wreck, Nikka Costa, SRV, Marc Broussard, DD, The Who, Gorillaz, Staind, 311, Linkin Park, STP, Army of Anyone, Amanda Marshall, Black Eyed Peas, Dirtie Blonde, RHCP, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Rage Against the Machine, Thornley Band, Daniel Adair, Matt Shockley, Audioslave, Tori Amos (espcially when she forgets the lyrics in concert, best improviser ever), etc. Oh by the way, there is nothing like a rockin' blues song with a beat you can feel in your chest.
Your Musical Tastes Match: Jennifer Garner

Movies:

Truth About Cats and Dogs - not an Oscar worthy performance, but much like the story of my friend Samantha and myself.

Television:

Wow with all the people I have been meeting lately, I don't have much time for television. Here are some favorites of past - Taxi ("What does the yellow light mean?" is so classic - love the genius of Christopher Lloyd), Law and Order, 24 (in for a shocker everytime), CSI; New York, and anything that I can see myself acting on, which leaves it wide open.

Heroes:

My biggest earthly hero is my dad. A simple man, from incredibly humble beginnings who made a big difference in 4 people's lives.

Dexter

Invisible

The Otherside

I am standing in a dark room, listening to the party (life) on the otherside.  I am searching, but can't find the door.  I have been around the room, I believe, several times.  I have p...

Miss Amy

My heart aches at the thought of losing her. My life changed the day I met her. I was so unsure of the talent that lay within. As we grew in friendship, the confidence and courage came alive.   &...
