About Me

I'm an artist, a poet, a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, a wanna-be rockstar, a genius with no common sense or sense of direction.

For those who don't know me personally - my friends are the most important people in my life. In most cases I feel closer to them then I do to my own family. If you get to be one of these friends then you should feel lucky, cause I don't let too many people close.

-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend, which means you're rare :P You're the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't care about presents or about going to fancy places. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy being around your boyfriend.

My Interests

Good music, good people, good fun.

Movies that make you think for days, books that cause controversial conversation, political and religious discussions (as long as all parties involved are open minded and don't put down what I believe in).

I've also discovered a renewed interest in comparative religions, stemming out of my own personal search for something to believe in again. If you are interested in what I've learned or talking to me about the decision I made, just send me a message.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet interesting people, people like me, people not like me, people who can teach me things, people who want to learn things from me.

I am not interested in cooresponding with people who are close-minded, uneducated, tactless or in any other way not worthy of my time. And if you plan of exhibiting the classic behaviors of a stalker - constant messages, unwanted advances and comments - you will be blocked. And no, that doens't make me a bitch, it makes you pathetic.

And just because - a few celebrities I'd like a chance to meet, however unsophisticated I may actually be in there presence:

Um...yeah...John Cena, for sure. I mean just look at him

Andy Roddick - I mean, just DAMN! So talented and so real. I've never heard or read or seen anything about him that would make me think that he is anything other then just a really great guy. And not to mention pretty damn cute!

Kyan and Jai from Queer Eye - they just both seem like they would be so much fun to hang out with.

And one of these days I'm hoping to finally meet these guys....cause they rock!!

Heroes:

All of the teachers who took the time to really teach me life's important lessons, not just what's covered in standardized testing:

Mr. Stephen McIntyre - MLK Junior High
Ms. Straley - 3rd Grade Bond Mill Elementary
...and so many others. They taught me to read, not just books but people too. They taught me to calculate, not just numbers but also risks. And most importantly they taught me to believe in myself and I could never thank them enough for that.

I also have to include here my first two supervisors when I turned 16:

Dave Bannon - Lonestar Steakhouse, Laurel MD
Giles Bragg - Breuggars Bagels, Laurel MD
They both helped me get through a very rough period in my life and probably never knew what kind of impact they really had. I wish I could thank them for everything they did for me.

"Would-Be" Moments

I found myself today feeling anxious and slightly confused, not by anything that was going on in my house (where I stayed nice and warm all day) but by the thoughts and emotions inside my own mind. It...

Movies, music and a lot of learning
