Whitney

About me:

Hi. I'm Whitney. I'm a 27 year-old Jesus-lovin' gal from Tampa. I graduated from USF with my BA in Journalism, but I have absolutely no idea what that means. I am currently running a small business from home and writing script for Wii and DS video games, and beginning a slightly lucrative career (that's sarcasm) doing voice-over work for cartoon and video game characters. How'd I start that? I still have no idea. My husband is a math teacher and cross country and track coach at Gulf High School. I love Zack, jazz, writing, family, traveling, old furniture, planning, dusk, Jesus, all things green (color not environment), dreaming, sad songs, brown paper bags, laughing til you cry, crying til you laugh, the smell of cinnamon, the Office, hydrangeas, morning hair, the smell of babies and CranApple Juice. I don't like flying, homework, heart burn, tight shoes, violence, static (any kind), water chestnuts, arrogance, pessimism, sharp notes, dull pencils, death or deadlines. I'm forever finding myself trying to find myself. And then I realize I wasn't even lost. I hate when people take themselves too seriously, or write an enormous amount about themselves under their "About Me" sections...=D I like being outside...until it's time to go to sleep, then I like my bed. I lose all inhibitions when I'm sleepy--I will fall asleep in public, drooling, snoring and all. I wake up nearly every morning with a song in my head that I apparently made up in my sleep, though it's usually non-sensical, like "peanut butter ain't worth a dime in San Marco, whoa, whoa," or something like that. I'm a perfectionist who's the least capable of getting things perfect. I'm an indecisive perfectionist, which means I never want to make a decision for fear it won't turn out...perfectly. I'm very critical. I act like I’m not sensitive, but I am…and I don’t think that’s really a bad thing at all. I hate not being the best. I hate absolutes, but I need them. Quantum Leap scarred me for life. Seldom do I watch a classical concert or professional football game or beauty pageant without fear that I might quantum leap into one of their bodies, and then...oh boy. I love to write music and stories and poetry, but I get embarrassed when people read them. I honestly don't understand people who are so sure of themselves, or know exactly what they want. I am the list-makingest person you've ever seen. I love to make big plans, even if I know they'll never happen. Being comfortable is a big priority to me--which is probably why God is forever putting me in situations where I'm not-- stretching me. I always root for the underdog. I hate know-it-all's, but I'm always fearful it might be because I am one. I'm not an early bird or a night owl...in fact, I don't much like birds at all. I hate that I'm the biggest procrastinator in the world, but sometimes I like it. Driving in traffic brings out all that is evil in me. I love my family. I like to eat, but I don't like being fat, which poses an on-going dilemma for me. I've been to El Salvador (twice), Nicaragua, Honduras and Spain, telling people why they don't have to live eternity apart from God's love. I'm thankful that Zack loves me, because I think he's the greatest person I've ever known. Some couples balance each other out, but we're very much alike, so we often tip over... but we can laugh about it, so it's fun. I want to see places and do things and meet people before I die, but I think when I get to heaven, I won't even remember or care. I'm really glad you're visiting my space today. I want you to know that God doesn't need you, but He does want you. He's passionate about you. I decided a while back that I wanted to live passionately for Him. It isn't always easy, and I don't usually get it right, but I don't have to. All He asks for is everything, the good with the bad...and He deserves nothing less.
