I'm a spring/summer girl, but lately I've been liking Autumn. My life has circled around and has become what it used to before the mess of the last two years, and I'm okay with that. I love sunshine. I love my friends. I love drunk boys. I love heat, but I still complain about it. I like walking outside barefoot. I like throwing frisbees around, but I'm not spectacular. :) I love the ocean. I laugh longer than I should, probably at you as well, but...it's not on purpose. I swear. :) I think Kip is better than Napolean, and should have his own movie. I love food. I love flipflips. I don't need money to be happy. Love isn't everything, but it's important. I'm pretty optimistic, but I have my moments. I'm obsessed with lyrics and quotes...it's my thing, I can't help it. A lot of people would call me lazy, but I'm actually a really hard worker when I'm motivated. I work two jobs...one is for the USDA, and the other consists of me running after 11 children 3 days a week, and I honestly love it. I was almost a Valentine's day baby. I listen to just about every type of music, and I'm not ashamed. Music is love. G is for Gangsta. ;) K is for Kaleidoscope, and Katie. I love my best friend more than all of the grains of sand, blades of grass, stars in the sky, and number of slurpees I drink in the summer. I hate indifference. I hate racism. I loathe dishonesty. I hate hate. I'm a hypocrite at times, and will admit it. I hate when people make me wait, but at the same time, I make people wait. Ants scare me. I like snow in December, and after that I get pissed off at the cold. I love my Molly. Cheesecake is really good. So are Denny's seasoned fries. I love mixtapes. I've been in love. I've lost. I've learned. I've relapsed. I'm afraid of heights, but love the rush that I get from rollercoasters. I'm strong, but also have my weak moments. I'm happy with who I am, and it's hard to make me feel bad about it. I love letting go and seeing what happens. It still scares me. I love randomness. I love Sex and the City. I hate fakeness. I'm stubborn, almost to a fault. I miss playing basketball. I love sunsets. Rap/hiphop is my happy music, but I listen to a lot of alternative. I doodle on every blank piece of paper I see. I can't sit still. I forget about my freckles until someone mentions them. Oldies make me happy, and remind me of my childhood. I miss being really young. I'm attracted to assholes, like every other girl..but nice boys make me smile. :) Clingy boys freak me out. I have more guy friends than girl friends...but I love my girls. Painting is therapeutic. I tend to play people on accident, but I'm really just a hopeless romantic if you can get me to stand still with you, or if you can run at my pace. I love guys that can keep a smile on my face 24/7 without even trying. I may sound typical, but when you get to know me, you learn that I'm really not.

'When I look around
I think this, this is good enough,
& I try to laugh at whatever life brings. Cuz when I look down,
I just miss all the good stuff.
When I look up, I just trip over things...'
'There are times that can't be weathered...
& we have never been back there since then.'
'"Your past is a skeleton walking one step behind you, and your future is a skeleton walking one step in front. Now these skeletons are made of memories, dreams, and voices, but they're not necessarily evil unless you let them be. What you have to do is to keep moving, keep walking in step with your skeletons. Your past ain't going to fall behind, and your future won't get too far ahead. See, it is always now. That's what time is. The past, the future, all of it wrapped up in the now. That's how it is. We are trapped in the now."
"Imperfection is beauty,
Madness is genius,
& it's better to be
Absolutely ridiculous
Than absolutely boring."
[Marilyn Monroe]
"You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it."
'I’m the kinda girl that hangs with the guys
Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes Takin it in, try to be feminine
With my makeup bag, watchin all the sin
Misfit, I sit...lit up, wicked
No matter what they say I’m still the same
Somehow everybody knows my name And all the girls wanna get with the boys
And the boys really like it..'
[[No Doubt]]
"Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It's real, though - the fury, even when it isn't. It can change you... turn you... mold you and shape you into something you're not. The only upside to anger, then... is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid to take the journey, someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a partially told story. That anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child." [The Upside of Anger]

'What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea...'

Favorite Quotes & Lyrics:

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed.
Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone
-- just as wild -- to run with. "
[Carrie, Sex and the City]
"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis..." [Fight Club]
"The fragrance always stays
In the hand that gives the rose"
[Heda Bejar]
'I'm trying to find TRUTH.
In words, and rhymes, and notes,
And all the things I wish I wrote.'
"These roses under my window make no referance to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existance." [Emerson]
'Nothing gets so bad
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it
Take all that you have and
Turn it into something you were missing...'
[Brand New]
'Measure my endeavors
Loosely based on someone else's song...'
[Motion City Sountrack]

'I want to thank you for being a part
Of my forget-me-nots and marigolds,
And all the things that don't get old..'
[[Motion City Soundtrack]]
'Spring keeps you ever close,
You are second hand smoke,
You are so fragile and thin,
Standing trial for your sins...
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before the rain, You are the blood in my veins... Call me a safe bet...I'm betting I'm not.' [[Brand New]]
'Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me...' [[Blink 182]]
'People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save ya.
Come on, baby, in our dreams,
We can live our misbehavior. Everytime you close your eyes: lies, lies...'
[The Arcade Fire] <3
'I don't look back much, as a rule,
But your memory is here
And I'd like it to stay... Warm light on a winters day.'
[The Shins]
"It relaxes me. I'd feel better sitting outside your apartment on the curb than any other place I can think of or imagine..." [As Good As It Gets]
"I shall call him Squishy,
And he shall be mine... And he shall be my Squishy."
[Finding Nemo]
'And in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.'
[The Beatles]
"You think love is simple. You think the heart is like a diagram..."
"Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood."
[Closer]
"I could die right now, Clem. I'm just...happy.
I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be."
