Layout made by sweetnsassii32~ ~ ~ I am a student,amateur photgrapher,and an artist.Spring semester I am taking a break from school but I am going back soon.I've been going to a community college,was majoring in psychology but probably soon will change it to anthropology,so I can go into archaeology later.I love turtles,& have a eastern painted turtle..As a former Army brat, I have lived a lot of places and been around some really different cultures,but for the last half a decade the pacific northwest has been my home.I love the progressive political climate here,environmental movement in the area,and all the musical and artistic creativity that lives here...I always like to know more about other places though,esp. those with a lot of history..As a person,I have been really influenced by the many artits and musicians in my family;I'm left-handed,if you can't tell by my name,& have many traits of a right-brained person..usually i just go by Ashley.Besides being interested in music and art,i also love nature and wildlife,and learning about other places and cultures.
