I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

i currently live on martha's vineyard. i am planning on moving off of this island soon, and finishing school. i don't know if i want to become a minister or a teacher, or both. i am currently just trying to figure out life, love, and what happiness truly is. i guess i am searching for joy, which is similar to happiness, but not quite the same. joy allows you to experience all emotions, and to be thankful for them. joy brings happiness to a whole new level, joy brings hope to situations of pain and sorrow, joy helps you to accept things that aren't in your control, and the motivation and drive to change what you can.i am a christian, who doesn't have all the answers, who sometimes questions and doubts this higher power i call Father God, and who struggles with the idea that while i am not perfect and never will be, grace and forgiveness has been offered to me. i struggle with this grace, and don't know if i can accept it.i am a person, i have my own faults and weaknesses.i don't have my life all figured out, and i don't know what direction i am heading in, but with time, hopefully everything will be revealed.

My Interests

Bible, guitar, photography, swimming, history, and sleeping.

I'd like to meet:

billy graham, and the guys from thrice and jars of clay. i have met tom hanks, and spike lee.

Music:

ummmm, seriously too much to list. i listen to all genres and styles. i used to say anything but country, but now some country songs are growing on me. i like bands like jars of clay, thrice, dispatch, jack johnson, state radio, black eyed peas, brand new, usher, jennifer knapp, switchfoot, mase, supertones, my chemical romance, jamie cullum, marroon 5, coheed and cambria, death cab for cutie, evergreen terrace, audioslave, anberlin, hawthorne heights, nirvana, green day, me first and the gimme gimmes, and countless other bands. i'd say if you wanted to talk about genres, it'd have to be rock/alternative, emo, screamo, rap/hip-hop, classical/acoustic. but, my all time favorite genre is chill surfer rock/reggaeish, like jack johnson or dispatch. but my all time favorite bands are jars of clay and thrice.

Movies:

i will watch any movie. i don't care if it is good or bad, i don't care if the acting sucks, i just enjoy movies.

Books:

the Bible, anything by c.s. lewis, anything by chuck palahunik, anything by george orwell, anything by kurt vonneget, and many others.

Heroes:

well, obviously Jesus, Savior of the world. other then that, my mom, b/c she's worked so hard her whole life for me and my brother and sister, and continues to work extremely hard.
