and the forgetting defines me

About Me

I am artistic, in almost every way. I write poetry, and that is my main art form. I started painting a few years ago and I rather enjoy it. I sing (in the shower because I have stage fright, but I do have a good voice). I majored in dance in high school, modern dance. absolutely love it.
I am a little bit of a world traveler. I grew up in Sweden from the age of twelve, and traveled to many other countries in Europe during the years I lived over there. I am fluent in swedish, but seeing as I haven't been there in six years it's a little rusty if you know what I mean.
I'm the oldest of three girls and I've always been very close to my family. the people in my life are the most important thing to me. Because I believe that is where we leave our mark in life, on the people we have touched and known. The most important people in my life are my fiancee Michael (who I am marrying in a year!), my sisters Christa and Jana, my dearest best friend Jessi, my Angel with her constant support, my dear friends Arash and Alice (who I miss!!!), and my girls Jules and Talitha.
I'm a very sensitive person, and also extremely random and sometimes ridiculously silly. But I love with all my heart.

My Interests

reading, writing, painting, dancing, photography and all other things artistic. spending time with my friends and sisters, watching people. I live in my head a lot. I like to think and I like to debate, but only when it's friendly and in a way that helps you define opinions, not break them down. watching movies and discovering new music. walking on the beach. lingering inside my own mind.

I'd like to meet:

People who are authentic, openminded, and real. Full of fire.

Music:

I like almost anything, except country and most rap. I hate country. i'm pretty eclectic. open. i like it when people try to paint me in, because they never fully fill me.

one of my all time favorite bands. VAST

Television:

Television is brainwashing us. turning us into drones or machines who sit and stare at pretty images like a crazy person stares at shadows on walls. they probably get more out of it. That being said, I'm completely addicted to Grey's Anatomy.

The devistation of sight

There is a fluctuation to knowledge.  a weight that slides itself between the joints of bones.  so the eyes close.  because sight is devistating.
