I'm a December kid, so I love the cold
weather. I love seasons, so I'd have a hard time living in Miami.
I am a homebody. I love working on my computer on typing
stories, or going online. Mellowing out is definitely my favorite pastime.
I call the Southern USA my home. Then again, I call the
Northern US and the British Isles my homes too.
I always show how excited I am about things; I'd say "enthusiastic"
would be my most descriptive synonym.
I love rain, but not too much. I love the sun, but not too
much. I love to hear the rain pattering against my window and thunderstorms at night without the power going out.
I love candles, but I don't use them ever. I love school but am not much on homework.
I love looking at sunsets, sunrises, the stars, the moon, trees,
big skies, rainbows, waterfalls, and clouds.
I love animals! Rabbits, cats, dogs, parrots, lizards, and
not excluding butterflies, dragonflies, frogs, bugs! and many more.
I love watching movies back to back! I like the epic-style
flicks like "Braveheart," "Gladiator," and "Lord of the Rings." (most DEFINITELY LOTR) and period films like "Nicholas
Nickelby" and "Emma." but I like Monty Python, the Kevin Smith films, and I have a bunch of guilty pleasure movies!
I like movies, period!
I love all my friends. They are the wind beneath my wings,
the stars that pepper my sky.
I love living life to the fullest.
I don't journal often, though I wish I did.
I love spring, warm breezes, and trees.
I love warm summers, bike rides on the beach, and swimming.
I love crisp fall, warm sweaters, and colorful leaves.
I love winter, snow, and hot chocolate.
I love to camp in the mountains, smell the firewood burning, and
stare up at a sky spattered with a million stars.
Have you ever stopped to listen to bird songs? Try it sometime.
Speaking of music, I love Celtic, hard rock, classic rock , jazz,
techno, bluegrass, emo, ska, folk, opera, and show tunes!!!
As for specific bands, I adore The White Stripes and The Beatles!
I read multiple books at a time, and whichever I finish first
depends on how engrossed I was in it at one instance.
My family is everything to me.
I love pizza and macaroni and cheese. And fondue.
And sushi.
I am a black belt in Tae-Kwon Do
I love to laugh, and I laugh at a lot of stuff, but some things
I wish I didn't.
I like people who are genuine, optimistic, who are comfortable
with who they are, and use the gifts they have.
All days are a gift from God.
