My Return

I have been gone for a very long time, I realize, and I am sorry for that. I just needed some time and space to clear my head, mainly due to the fact that I broke things off with my fiance'. It's been a while now, and I truly have had no second thoughts. I simply regret that he seems to be quite upset now, despite a lack of emotion at the time.

I have felt more like myself since then, and have been focusing more on my art and writing! Right now I am working on two of six novel plots, one of which I have completed fourteen chapters. I am rather excited, because I feel that these stories and characters have a real chance at going somewhere.

I am happy, and I cannot recall the last time I could say that. I have even started dating again, here and there. Being single, and somewhat new to this dating thing (I haven't been single since I was fifteen, and my ex is the only one I really dated), it's thrown me some curveballs, but I am slowly adapting. The only unfortunate thing is that school has started rather abruptly, and I would much rather summer go on....which reminds me, I'll have to write a blog just about my summer, the first I have truly been able to enjoy in years.

I’m a daughter.
I’m a sister.
I’m a friend.
I’m in love with my best friend Fox, and consider myself blessed to be marrying him September 19, 2009.
I’m a reformed doormat.
I’m mildly OCD.
I laugh whenever possible--even if it’s at myself.
I’m a militant pacifist.
I tend to be sarcastic.
I tend to be a little eccentric, but with everything from royalty to cattle rustlers in my ancestry, I could hardly be faulted.
I’m as unique as I am average.
I’m childlike, not to be confused with childish.
I’m awed and excited by the smallest things.
I don’t believe that anything or anyone is “ordinary.”
I read the works of Shakespeare by the age of eleven, THEN Nancy Drew…I still haven’t quite figured that one out.
I’m a story teller, and am writing a novel, well, two to be exact.
I love art--photography, drawing, painting, jewelry-making, crafting, upcycling, basic metal work, etc.
I have too many passions and only one lifetime…My main focus, currently, is psychology and troubled youth counseling.
I own more records than CDs.
I love movies!
I love to watch old black-and-white movies with the sound turned off so I can make up the story with my sisters.
I’m outgoing and reserved.
I’m a realist and a dreamer.
I love children, and they seem to love me.
I am rhythmically challenged.
I cannot cook to save my life…or yours, but I’m working on it!
I tend to view the world through my camera’s lens.
I love the rain--the sound as hit’s a metal roof, kissing in it, dancing in it, walking under trees as the raindrops slip through the leaves and branches.
I love storms, and watching them from a window.
I love to swing, especially by the river.
I love ice cream.
I love fireworks.

I love searching for the truth and finding answers to difficult questions.
I am a melting pot, but predominantly Cherokee and Irish.
I was once stalked by a butterfly.
I died nearly five years ago on Mother’s Day.

I’m simply complex and naturally inquisitive.
I’m a helpless optimist and hopeful romantic.
I’m a rebel without applause.
I’m down to earth.
I view myself as a work-in-progress, and am constantly working to improve who I am.
I always see the good in life even when its misbehaving.
I want to make the most of my life and help others make the most of theirs.
I sometimes turn Southern when I become angry...and start dropping G's left and right. For example: "Guessing" becomes "guessin'" ironically, however, foreigners have asked me if I am from their countries…
I can never stay angry, and always forgive.
I'm insulted by stupidity.
I’m extremely empathetic.
I can lend an ear, as long as I get it back.
I’m honest and loyal to a fault.
I want to make a difference because a difference was made in me.
I’m me because everyone else was taken.
I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
