About Me:

I'm not perfect. Sometimes I try to be. I'm still learning a lot about myself. I'm proud of the person that I am turning out to be. I used to be alone and weird, dark and fun, wrote poetry, never went anywhere without my book, and was the girl everyone went to for advice. I am possibly still this person underneath, but I'm not really sure. I love photography, I write poems, and very rarely blog. I want to travel everywhere. I am very open. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I keep secrets and go the extra mile for those I care about. I am trusting, sometimes too much, hopeful and realistically optimistic. I am a romantic and can be very intense with my feelings. I believe in love, committed relationships, family and friends. I have some amazing friends.

I love music, I miss concert band and drama productions and choir and jazz band b. I enjoy a good drink and I smoke cigarettes occasionally. I believe in making your own decisions, except towards a few things, like abortion, I am TOTALLY against it. I have my views and I stick by them. I also strongly believe in gay rights. I know that I will end up marrying a man, but whatever happens between now and then is open for interpretation. I have deep interests in psychology and human sexuality. I love firefighting and will be an fire science major when I go back to school after taking the break that I am currently on. I have depression. I can be a basket case one moment and be happy as a clam the next. I do not excuse my behavior, but depression is real and I am fighting against it. I'm not crazy, but my family is. I love them anyway.

I am crazy about elephants, and am in love with Old Forge, NY. The mountains are my second home. I love and have 1 tattoo and plan on getting more. I have a thing for guys who wear bunker gear. My favorite thing to take pictures of is myself, lol. I can't wait to grow up and have a family. I like to mix nacho cheese and ketchup for my french fries. I can't cook, but I can bake really well. I am squeamish yet I am taking my EMT test. I am a klutz. I love snow and could live with it 24/7. I love being in love, and can be very affectionate. I am easy to talk to.

I've been planning my wedding since I was 7 years old. My husband is my best friend. I love high heels but I can't walk in them. I like making arts and crafts, and I love making collages. I am not religious but I am spiritual. I like iced tea and 24-hour diners. I've always secretly wanted to be a cheerleader, and I've always wanted to sing in a band. I like the paranormal even though it freaks me out. I'm that girl that wants to be friends after a break up and means it. I love love LOVE brownies. I always see both sides to a situation. I believe in fate, karma and second chances. I always follow my heart.
