About Me

"Barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. I didn't always feel that way, but I feel that way now. When somebody just loves you, and when you make somebody else happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world." -angelina jolie
"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for....."
It is better to be despised for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not...Can I get an "Amen?"
I love my God! He's a life saver...Literally. I started going to a great church out here, Reality LA. It's awesome. They have amazing worship, and the pastor gives the greatest sermons every week.
I am very much "in a relationship." My guy is amazing, and makes me super happy!
I do freelance photography (check out Michelle Peery Photography on myspace). Fashion, portraits, weddings, maternity, bands etc. Whatever you need a pic of, I can do it! I also work at a woman's fitness center and day spa. It's awesome. The woman I work with are amazing, and I've been blessed with some great friends through working there. My daughter, Layla (yes like the song) is 5 and a big handfull. I also have my little man, Brody (as in Mallrats), who is 2...and is also a big handfull...hehe. I love them both so much. They are my world! I've adopted a cat too. Her official name is Boo Boo Kitty F*ck (as in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), but you may call her "B" (cuz she is one). She's alot of fun, and I'm enjoying having a cat for the first time in my life. I LOVE Disneyland and am hoping I can buy a new pass here soon (although it's not looking like I will...sad face).
I love music, and going to shows when I get the chance. I love photography, Tim Burton, the show LOST (I'm addicted), reading, Jimmy Eat World, the internet, tattoos, myspace, and the wonderful friends I've meet through my photography.
I collect Nightmare Before Christmas memrobillia. Ed from Big Bear Tattoo did a scene on my right leg containing characters from the film. You should check out his work at www.bigbeartattoo.com He's amazing. Trust me, it would be totally worth it for you to check him out (and possibly go get some work done yourself...by Ed or any of the amazing talent found at BB Tattoo)! He did some amazing work on Jake too!
Well, I could go on forever about myself, but I'm sure you're already bored.
You were born an original, don't die a copy!
Don't judge me based on your ignorance!

I love my God! He's a life saver...Literally. I attend Sandals Church in Riverside where I am learning to be real with myself, real with others, and real with my God...
I am a stay at home mom. I also do freelance photography (check out Nightmare Images on myspace, or www.nightmareimages.com). Fashion, portraits, weddings, maternity, bands etc. Whatever you need a pic of, I can do it! My daughter, Layla (yes like the song) is 3 and a big handfull. I also have my little man, Brody (as in Mallrats), who just turned 1...and is also a big handfull...hehe. When I'm not at home, you can find me at Disneyland (my happy place)...Note to new moms: Buy a season pass. They are a little expensive, but it will be the best investment you make.
I love music, and going to shows when I get the chance. I love photography, Tim Burton, the show Lost (I'm addicted) and Heroes, reading, Jimmy Eat World, the internet, tattoos, myspace, MCR and the wonderful friends I've meet through my church.
I collect Nightmare Before Christmas memrobillia. Ed from Big Bear Tattoo just finished doing a scene on my right leg containing characters from the film The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I've been thinking of more work I can get (I'm getting 3/4 sleeves, but trying to think of what exactly I want), and my husband has started a backpiece (also done by Ed) that's a scene from Revelation!!!
Well, I could go on forever about myself, but I'm sure you're already bored.

First off, I'd like to say, don't use buy.com!  I got scammed by one of their "affiliates."  After you make a purchase, these "affiliates" offer you a coupon for $10 off your next purchase.  If you ac...

She's lump, she's lump, she's in my head (or boob rather)!

Last Sat. I had my friend Jen do a lymphatic massage on me. It was really nice, but in the process, she noticed a small lump on the top of my left breast. It's just this hard little thing that, had ...
