::BURNING::
Deep down
Within my soul
The embers lie
Dormant
Then you came
I see you
Hear you
Want to know you
Now inside
Smoldering
Are flickering flames
Something has awakened
You sparked a new joy
This warm feeling
Spreads throughout
I'm alive

About me: I love to travel. I enjoy solitude. I'm open-minded yet logical. (unnless I get really mad, then I'm not always logical......) I love photography; nature and close-ups especially. I like philosophy. I like to talk to people who are intelligent, but don't talk non-stop about themselves. I will generally eat anything....if you dare me to. I love rain, hate snow. It's super amazing to wake up with the sunrise, and go to bed with the sunset. I like the stars. I often come across as uptight or stuck-up, but it's generally because I am shy with new people and have a hard time talking at first. But once you get to know me, I relax. I love to dance. I love Jesus beyond belief and would never want to live a day without him, his love, and his truth. I get sick of passionless people and enjoy true friendships with people who like to discuss the deep things in life-but being silly and laughing is still fun.
I like Canada a lot, I'm not completely sure why. Sometimes I'm utterly afraid of people and life until I give God control and I trust him- then life is simple and intriguing.

Haha wanna see some OLD OLD OLD comments you sent me about Zach? The kid that lived down the street from us in the old neighborhood. Zach used to watch "banana's in pajamas", and we would make fun of him. then one day Caleb pantsed him in front of us all. then once Caleb took his bike and hid it in the bushes, so Zach ran home crying to the babysitter. and remember James? wow. we were very mean. I feel bad. but I blame it all on Caleb. he was a bad influence on us. oh, then Ian would always call us and ask if we wanted to buy a camel. what a nerd. then the time Caleb made Zach kiss me. that was bad. or the time we had an obstacle course, and he didn't want to do it but would only if we promised not to dump water on him.......and as soon as he went under the trampoline, we dumped a bucket of water on him. and the hole caleb dug and covered with branches, so when you jumped over the brick wall you went really far down. haha. remember larry? the one Ian thought was so cool?
If it makes you feel better I don't understand much of anything late...I just keep walking around saying I just don't understand people... How are you doing otherwise? What have you been up to? The weather here has been so nice, enjoy it while we can. Have you read the Twilight books? I love them...can't wait to see the movie.
I did see your mom and sister! They did a WONDERFUL job! Dylan was sad because he never ate any of the food. HAHA SO how is school. Keeping you busy it sounds like.
I thought I would share the good news with you that my world is looking up because I did indeed pass my EMT test that I took on monday. Thank you for letting me talk out my frustrations with you and sharing yours with me I hope things are going well for you and I am keeping you in my prayers. talk with you hopefully again soon! :)
Sweet! Who are you babysitting by the way? Is it little siblings? I didn't think you had any that were that little anymore. Maybe it is that I am just not any good with ages and such. LOL
I know! I was gonna ride out with my dad and them and then Dianne got really sick and so I missed it, I feel really bad, you should message me your # so we can all get together and I can give caleb his present:)
Hi! it was awesome meeting you as well :) Sorry I was so occupied...would've liked to have gotten better acquainted. Yes, I love my camera!;) I just need some faster lenses.

I have a link on my myspace to flickr.com if you want to check it out. laters, God bless
