Who am I in 1200 words...

As much as I like blogging, I am always annoyed at the small amount of space I am given to describe myself. I can do it don't get me wrong but I always have to over think what I want or need to say. I actually have a great description of me. I have two actually one can be found on my myspace and the other is a writing exercise I did at some point. I am giving you my exercise to read, I love my description of who I am.



Hi! Welcome to my little world! Believe me this is a new world. So here’s some things you might like to know about me. I am a singer. Now I can't promise that I will fit your standards but I enjoy it. I am a writer of poetry. I aspire to be the next Alfred Lord Tennyson/Nora Roberts(if that could even exist in the world). And a dancer when I have the time. Any kind of dancing suits me. Be it Ballroom, Clubbing, or just free lance for me. I am a dreamer. So sue me, someone has to do it.


I have a very out going personality and quite often speak my mind. I am a negative person I always expect the worst. But I feel it is better to be prepared then to be shocked when the worst does happen and when it doesn't? Well that is just a silver lining then isn’t it? I find I often care far too much or far too less for it to matter.


I am loud and extremely happy. I am a little quirky I am confusing and shy...I am a romantic. I dress to fit me not you. Therefore don’t expect me to always fit in. I can promise I won’t. I will hurt you if you hurt my friends. I learned how to hold my own in a fight years ago and have kept that knowledge under my belt.



I believe in faith and magic. I believe everyone has the option of inner peace, you just have to take the initiative to find it. I live by three rules peace, love and hope. Keep peace of mind in the hardest times for that will bring you through anything. Remember that someone out there loves you, even if you haven’t met them yet. And no matter what there is always hope for the future, Always.



I will always find a way to get what I want. I am a terrific kisser just try me :) My favorite color is blue but purple comes as a close second. I wish I could speak Italian. I believe in Classic Romance. I am obsessed with faeries and butterflies. I like to draw, even though I suck at it. I like to design my own clothes but cannot sew. I happen to have sketches everywhere. I enjoy a good argument, be it about politics, beliefs or general topics. I am Cinderella. What? Every girl is a Princess. I love old movies. I love Audrey Hepburn and Alfred Hitchcock. I am a English Major with a music minor. I am who I am. If you can’t handle that then stop reading.


Ok so that is a little crazy, but it gets it all out there. I try to be perfect and I do all I can. I work and I go to college. I have desperate needs for shopping. I am in love with three things music, art and books. I sing and I play piano and guitar. I have had years of private voice lessons. I also am a ballet dancer. My obsessions are shoes, earrings, and perfumes.

Three Dreams in a Box

Maybe its the time of year, but it always gets me thinking of dreams differed... here is a piece i actually wrote just for me but i feel that it is now the right time to share it....



So... I have been standing at a crossroads for far to long. the problem is i have no idea which way to turn, which road to follow. I have paths slightly charted for me in a few directions... 1) following the dreams of others and my old dreams of certain education... 2) my save the world hopes that few seem to understand....3) even standing still to please the hierarchy. but then there are those paths covered in weeds, with no maps to guide me. i can further my education with these paths. my major would have to change... but i can still go to college. get a business management degree and be set. or just run at it full tilt and not stop for the degree just yet. I want to open a dress shop, a book store, and a night club/bar. I want to have a corporation. I even see the potential for each one where i am. We don't have a dress shop besides one highly over priced place in this area.... so if i could offer lower prices, buy back options for resale, and donation dresses, and a guarantee that if the dress is bought from my store i will not sell another one for the same function, I could make a huge profit!!! I would be catering to the needs of my community. we have plenty a girl who cannot afford a dress she will only wear once. so why not rent a dress? or buy a used one? And god forbid someone have the same dress as you!! I will prevent that from happening at my store. plus i will have wedding and all other formal and semi formal dresses available at all times. it will be the one stop dress shop. NOW the book store. we don't have one!! unless you count the one on campus at hcc. So i will provide.... Oh! did you know the mark up on text books at HCC is like 100%? yeah we basically pay double what they pay for a book. so why not find your text books at your local book store? we will have them!!! we will also have a variety from fiction to nonfiction classics to modern. a children's section, including a book club for all ages. the children's book club will have story time and a discount on the book of the month. teen club will have the discount and a discussion group as will the adult club. oh and we will also be available online with forums for the clubs and a order area for books. the night club is the biggest question. around here you have three choices, either black white or stripper. well i want my club to be comfortable for all. I will not play exclusively white music nor exclusively black. there will be band nights for local bands. there will be open mic nights for every talent. if i have my way completely there will be a gamers room where xbox show downs can be held. a lounge area where karaoke will be on some nights and open mic others. I will even have the option of Sunday night music worship. there would be pool tables and Foosball air hockey, all that jazz. a sports room for the big game of the night. right now i stand at a crossroads...there are lots of variables. lots of options. where do i go from here? well i just don't know... i guess I'm stuck standing pondering until my heart just makes a leap...

until the fates let us,
