Music (obviously), art, readin', ritin', & 'rithmetic.
I like to cook using organic/natural foods, garden, do crafts, travel domestically as well as internationally. I have also been in plays here and there. I'm quite the adventurous one, so going to strange, cool, new places is my forte. Spending quality time with my friends never fails, either. Some would dare to call me a Renaissance woman. To each his own ;)
I do some modeling here and there, freelance, semi-professional. I don't care to make it big or become famous, but it is a nice little side project, which I got into quite by accident, to be honest with ya.
Oh, and roller derby, obviously. Not about to let that one go ;)

I'm a dichotomy of different terms. Either way one wants to take it, I am uniquely ME, and not anyone else. My experiences in this thing/game called life have made me what I am. My experiences have been wide and varied, beautiful and hideous, happy and heart-wrenching. I have experienced the vast complexities of emotion that few people ever have the opportunity to: the deepest darkest despair to the most delightful bliss. In short, I am a complicated person. And to the few, but increasingly many, who have taken the time to understand me with all my complexities and idiosyncracies, I thank you many times over. Steps taken in my shoes are not for the faint of heart.
One more thing: we each get one shot, just one, at this thing -- this GAME -- called life. I know I intend to make the most of it in every way. That means no one but me can have any say, whatsoever, over what I decide to do with that life. No one who is human, anyway. It's no one's right or place to judge. No one's. That's right. So, if only I get to walk in my shoes each and every day for the rest of my life, then I better enjoy it. If you don't, too bad! It's not your life!
The following slide shows I just had to steal from my gal Jenn, because they are THE best!!! Thanx, lady!!
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
-----Mahatma Gandhi
You Have a Melancholic Temperament
Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.
Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.
At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
Who I'd like to meet: I have have become boring since my crazy days of yore. Oh yes, boys and girls, THOSE crazy days..... Anyways, I keep a very, very low profile anymore. That's what makes me happy. So, I'll only add you if I know you. If you wanna be my friend, I gotta know ya, or ya gotta have a very good reason to ask! Ciao!
Looking for likeminded souls with which to share this journey. Certainly NOT looking for, nor am I interested in boys just looking for a good time. I have, can, and will beat you at your own game. Yeah, grow up. I am otherwise occupied and have better things to do with my time. If you can't handle the heat, stay outta the kitchen! Ha ha!!!
Yes, quantum physics is real. What I am referring to is that it helps keep the sci-fi fluids pumping by provoking me to imagine the possibilities of the THEORIES.
Thank you so much for the talk yesterday! I love you and I hope that everything works out. You're an amazing person and guys should try to bring the stars and the moon down for you. You deserve it!!! Keep in touch love.
hey love! how are you?? i'm doing ok, still in pain and trying to get through finals. Hope you're doing well. miss you so much!! Sorry I haven't called, I've been sleeping or trying to get finals completed. ALMOST DONE :) Love you and keep in touch! ♥
Thanks.. it's actually in the very annoying stage right now lol. I gotta get it together and pay attention to the finger positions.. Oh, well it looks pretty anyway! ha!
We should get together when it warms up. I'm trying to save my time for warmer days.. this cold is overrated! I'm tired of winter.. I really am. Here's hoping for another shift bid next month when the next class hits the floor with the crappy 11-8 schedule guaranteed to be working weekends! yay! Then, maybe I don't have to work weekends anymore. That'd be great!
How's it going? I assume you've started school? :-)
I am hoping we will get to do a shift bid next month and get new schedules & here's hoping it'll be something better than 11:30-8 w/ Sun/Wed. off!!! Day shift w/ weekends would be great! then, we'll need to definitely hang out!
It's time for me to go to bed though so enjoy the rest of your week!
HEY!!!! it was great to see you this weekend! we had a great time with you girls, NEO was fun to play and fun to hang out with afterwards... which is extra sweet! you should try to come into town for the February 21st bout, Steel city vs OHRG, both A and B teams! should be great, their A team beat our A team by only 3 points last year so this ought to be a great rematch! xoxoxo z
