"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious." Andrew Wyeth.

I was born in a small town in middle America, though I don’t think I’m your average small town girl. I have many big dreams, none of which have been obtained, but getting there will be a great adventure. I am a pastor’s grand-daughter and an Atheist. I revel in nature, but have big-city dreams. I’m an American girl with a European soul.

|| I'm ONLY here for friends.||

Right now, I’m trying to make the most of what I have laid out in front of me. I’m building myself up from ground zero after a series of unfortunate events brought me there. Self-improvement never ceases.

Art school next fall. :)

pretending to be brave. I’m afraid of a lot of things. I will admit to my fears, but I’ll put on a brave face and deal with whatever comes my way…if it’s worth it to me.

being impatient. If I want something, I want it now; however, if it’s worth the wait then I’d wait forever.

being gullible. I have a lot of faith in people’s honesty, so even an obvious joke could be interpreted as truth to me. Sometimes, it makes for some hilarious conversations.

embarrassing myself. I tend to do that often. I manage to always have a good laugh about it though.

Eyes: Apparently, they’re uniquely-shaped and colored.

Lips: They’re rather big.

Hands: Tiny, tiny hands. They’re like a child’s.

Laugh: I have an obnoxious laugh that bellows like an orchestra, and once vowed never to laugh again, but I laughed that off and all is well.

Smile: I’ve heard that it’s pretty.
