Sing like you think no one's listening

About Me

I was raised in LA near the beach and now I live in Riverside for the majority of the year. I wish on stars (if I can see any in Riverside, lol). I giggle a lot. I sing ALL the time and I love music. I love to watch baseball, and yes, I'm a Dodger fan. I love my friends and family and they come first in my life. I'm a realistic optimist. I'm afraid of heights but I love rollercoasters. I like feeling pretty. I love watching comedies and action movies. I'm a dreamer. I love climbing trees. I really don't like spiders. I'm opinionated and am not afraid to speak my mind. I hate not being able to apply reason and logic to a situation. I'm a languages major who doesn't know what to do with three languages. I'll spend a Friday night doing my nails and hanging with the girls. I love to read anything and everything I can. I love being the center of attention, but I hate being embarrassed. I'm more comfortable around guys. I believe the best in people. I love hugs. Have I mentioned my passion for music? It's the driving force in my life, right along with my family and friends.
Blue is my favorite color. I think that silver is much prettier than gold. I like flowers more than candy because they smell good and last longer. I love the smell of vanilla, the rain, and comfort food cooking. I love looking at and buying shoes but really only wear my flip flops. I jump in puddles. I wear my flip flops in the rain. I rarely use an umbrella when it rains. I can be easy going but I *do* have a temper which few have really seen. Don't be one of those few. I can be loud and outgoing or quiet and deep in thought. I'm compassionate, sarcastic, stubborn, and loyal to a fault. I'll do anything and everything for my friends. You mess with someone I love and you're messing with me. And you don't want to do that.

My Interests

animals, asking too many questions, being curious about everything, being with friends, flip flops, giggling, going to the beach (when I'm home), green Irish stuffs, hugs, LA winters, lazy afternoons, making someone's day better, mischief, music, my ever expanding collection of Stitch stuffed animals, pirates, putting stuff in alphabetical order, reading, sarcasm, secretly disabling Noah's plans for world domination, shiny things, shopping, SINGING, sleep, smiling, spending too much time on my computer, spontaneous midnight trips to Santa Monica pier, Tae Kwon Do, talking about any given thing, turning my tongue green for Christina's amusement, watching the sun rise/set (preference for the latter... I'm rarely up early enough to see the sun rise unless I haven't gone to bed), wishing on stars...

Bye bye sanity

All At Once

I'm amused at how a lot of the time music that gets stuck in my head can be relelvant to a current situation.  Then I read the lyrics and think "holy crap!".  That's what happened with All A...
