I am here for Friends

About Me

In all honestly, I kind of hate "about me" sections. It's kind of hard for me to put myself into a paragraph, because I'm a complex person. I suppose I should start by saying I am currently a Theatre Arts major. I would really like to get into grad school next year, not only to further my education in the craft that I love, but to eventually become a college professor. When I was little, I wanted to be a vet. I love animals, but most of all, Wombats, haha. Sea otters are a close second. I love nature- I like that's why my favorite color is green. Grass, leaves, moss... I love all of it. I should say flowers too, but I feel like that's too girly. Oh what the heck, I love flowers!! I grew up more of a tomboy (I think) and after my awkward adolescent stage of Peter Pan-length hair, started realizing it was okay to be a girl, haha. I am learning what it means to love God. I mean, really love God. I think this is a difficult thing to grasp. I believe love is displayed (to God and others) through servitude and obedience. Difficult. But God has been very patience with me, and I am ever grateful. My favorite sport is baseball. I've loved the cubs since I can remember, although I did lie on a class questionnaire in the first grade(saying I liked the Sox) because that's what all my friends were saying. I'm a people person. I love having friends, although I understand some friends are seasonal. But some friends last your whole life, so that's great!! A number of my friends have touched my life and encouraged me in ways I can't describe and I don't thank them enough. So, for those of you who have finally finished reading this rather scattered interior monologue of mine... thank you. :).......................................................... ......................................... Something else to think about: "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man must be seeking the Lord to find it." ~Unknown PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE!
