*** I found the absolutely most amazing guy, the love of my life. He is everything I have ever wanted, everything I ever dreamed about. ^_^
I am just on here for friends and tests.

Most consider me the "shy and sweet" girl, but I believe there is more me me than just that simple description. I love nature; I am always outside, enjoying life's simple joys like falling leaves in autumn or budding flowers in spring. You can always find me daydreaming, or catching a beautiful sunset on my camera. I love to read, it's another of my escapes. My favorite books include a little bit of everything. When I am not reading or outdoors, you can find me underneath a lamp drawing whatever comes to mind, or on my laptop typing away at my hopeful attempt at a novel, or composing a freeing poem. I am always busy, and like to keep everything organized and neat, though not necessarily a perfectionist. I believe very strongly in my religion, Christianity, and am strong-willed when it comes to my beliefs. Though I may seem passive at first, I do not tolerate unjust or wrongful acts, and will defend those wrongly treated. This is me, in a few sentences, but be sure that I am more colorful and complex than I seem.

I am planning for a very eventful and adventurous life. Starting with community college this Fall, I am embarking on a long journey to my desired life, to become an Herbalist. I would love to travel to places like Ireland, Scotland and New Zealand, having already traveled to Italy my senior year of high school. I believe there is nothing better than helping those in need; and nowadays, they are everywhere you look and you can't just do nothing.

I am pretty humble about what I do, and therefore don't care to brag about "what I do best". But I can tell you what I love to do, and how I get better at it. I have been writing and drawing since I was 14, having been struck with a very deep inspiration. Maybe you could call it a Muse that found me, or whatever, but it has not disappeared, that urge to express myself. Along with that, I have been finding myself getting lost in nature's beauty, and very recently have discovered how to capture it: photography. Now you can always find me with a camera in hand, snapping a photo of the sunshine through the leaves, the ocean, or whatever catches my eye. I'm not perfect at what I do, I just do it and get better.

Let's see. The first thing people usually notice about me is that I am fairly reserved, or "shy". I don't feel the need to push my presence upon everyone so they notice me. If someone wants to get to know me, they will find a way. I don't talk much, but that is because I like to listen rather than blab about myself. I like to understand people, and how they work, and their emotions. Some say I am very intuitive. I can usually understand how a person thinks by just listening to them.
As for appearance... maybe my blue eyes. Or my nose piercing.

Books: Anything, really. I love the Twilight series, His Dark Materials series, Harry Potter series, The Host, anything by Anne Rice, and the Left Behind series.

Movies: Also, pretty much anything. I love horror, adventure, action, fantasy, and romance. I don't much care for comedy though. Hm... I love movies like August Rush, The Lake House, and King Kong.

Music: Again, that includes alot. Except rap, hip-hop, or that moldy oldies country. My favorite musicians/bands include Darren Hayes, Savage Garden, Snow Patrol, Muse, the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, A Fine Frenzy, The Veronicas, Blue October, Alanis Morissette, Angels and Airwaves, MuteMath, etc.

Food? I love Italian food. But I like pretty much anything except fast food.

Six things? Hm.
1- Dreams: I could not live without my dreams. When I dream, I find things out about myself I would have never considered before.
2- Music: I love it. It helps me get through life.
3- Friends: Everyone needs friends. You share secrets with them and you learn how to trust.
4- Family: I am very family oriented, seeing as I am the oldest of 7 kids.
5- Imagination: This also helps you grow and understand things/concept in a different way.
6- Memories: Things that are lost to you, you can always remember.

.. I guess I have not listed any material things. I'm really not materialistic. This society has got to figure things out.

My future, mainly. I have so many possibilties, and hopes, that I can pretty much do anything I set my mind to.
I also like to think about religion, philosophy, love, what the world could be but isn't, joining the Peace Corps, different scenarios to add to my books, learning how to play guitar, the unjust things is life that happen to the best of people, etc. I'm a big thinker.

Doing whatever. Reading, writing, drawing, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying my life. If I'm not working.

You'd need to talk with me to find out any secrets :]
But I will say that I am terrified of spiders.

You'd like to get to know me.
But not if you just want to ask silly questions, like "Where is Gales Creek?", nor if you just want my phone number.

I'm not on here to find relationships, because I already found the love of my life ^_^ I am just on here to chat and find friends, and take all those interesting tests, Lol.
