spring fever.

i am so, so ready for spring. i'm sick of the cold and having to turn up the car heater.
or, if mother nature refuses to cooperate, i'd like to go to paris. i could deal with anything if i was there. the last time i was there was only for a few days, which was NOT long enough. there's so much to explore there, and it's never boring. ever. the architecture is interesting, the food is interesting, the nature is interesting, and even the people are interesting, even though some of them are terribly rude. (but you'd get that any place you go, i suppose.)
europe is so much better than here. there's so much culture, so much history. you could wander for days and never be bored. i would be a hobo there. i wouldn't even care. (okay, maybe i would. but i wouldn't mind for the first few days!!)
i love to travel, so i'm sad that i don't have the money to accommodate that addiction. oh, well. maybe someday.

i remember being here.

in other news, my kitty has been left alone all day long and is now being the cutest little furry creature to have ever walked into my life. he's definitely a momma's boy. whenever i move my hands more than a few inches away, he bats at them until he can get a claw in my sweater and bring them back close to him. clever kitty. what would i do without him?

go for it.

all my life, i've been a performer. i love singing, acting, dancing, and even though it sounds a little vain, being in front of a camera. it's just what i do.
when i got into junior high and high school, they were always pushing us to take all these career tests and figure out what we were going to do for the rest of our life. number one, i don't understand why we have to decide on a career when we're sixteen years old. i don't want to be one of those people that wake up when they're forty years old with the bitter realization that they hate what they do. number two, i've always wanted to be a performer, but they always told us "it isn't practical, you have to go into something you can get a degree in, don't take the chance," so on and so forth.
but nothing else interests me enough to do it for the rest of my life. believe me, i've dabbled in a lot of things, and they just didn't work out. i can't bring myself to do a job for the rest of my life that i only think is mediocre.
so i've decided that i'm going to try my hand at modeling. one of my really good friends has been modeling for about five years, so i asked for some suggestions from her and got a lot of really great tips, and gained a few contacts.
i'm a little nervous, because having an uncertain future makes me a little frightened. but i'm willing to give it a shot and try to step out of my little bubble. :]
wish me luck!

this is my very good friend, cassie.

come together.

welcome, to the both of us.

i enjoy life.
more specifically, i enjoy dance, interior design, fashion/modeling (i enjoy wishing i was a model, rather), photography, peace signs, fancy pens, and all things beautiful and awe-inspiring. i am working towards being who i see myself as being in my head, and i am my biggest critic. i am constantly learning, and i love trying new things. i love going to the crafty section of barnes and noble. that's where all the good stuff is at.
one of my favorite quotes goes, "life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself." that's exactly what i'm trying to do. i'm never the same girl for more than a few months, and those closest to me have the opportunity to see that evolution. i am rather shy, and it's extremely hard for me to talk to new people. i constantly wish i was more outgoing - that's one thing i'm working towards. (easier said than done, believe me.) i am paving my own way of life, different than the one my parents had planned for me. it's hard sometimes, but i love living life on my own terms. i love trying what i want to try and attempting to make my own success, even if it fails horribly. such is life.
on another note, i am a writer. always have been. therefore, i love quotes. my obsession is becoming quite unhealthy, actually. i have dreams of becoming/doing a lot of things, and being a writer is one of them. hence, this blog. i'm not sure what i'll write about, but we'll figure it out as we go.

so, there's my introduction.
stay tuned. :]

i.am.obsessed.
