A quote from One Tree Hill "There's a double standard for girls and there always will be...Don't be too fat, or too thin, or too dark, or too light.  Don't be too sexual or too chaste, or too smart, or too dumb. Just be yourself, but make sure you fit in." ~Anna

^^That is so true!  Seriously, I don't like what a lot of society has become nowadays.  I mean, there has always been a double standard for girls, but I don't think it's ever been this bad.  Now, a lot of girls are striving to be what society "wants" them to be.  It makes me angry.  But even though it makes me angry, I can't say much because I wish I were different then I am now.  Society gets into every girl's mind telling them to be prettier, skinnier, smarter, dumber, what have you.  It's not fair.  In fact, society is just getting to everyone.  





I love acting and I've been that way ever since I can remember.  I was cast in my school play when I was in 7th grade, which my drama teacher said was very rare, and I've been envolved in theater, inside and outside of my school ever since!  

I also love love love to sing and dance.  I danced when I was 4 until I was 5, short lived, but it was still fun.  I was introduced to karate at age 5 (the reason I quit dance of course lol) and have been hooked ever since.  I've been with karate for 10 years and every single one of my instructors have helped me become a great martial artist and a better person, learning discipline and control.  

I have also been graced with an amazing person, Adam.  He's the most spectacular guy I've ever known.  He makes me the best person I can be.  There's just something about him that I can't explain to anyone, something so deep, that I'm not sure I can even explain to myself.  "You never know what you have until it's gone." I love him tons and I miss him a lot right now!
My favorite sound that I've ever heard is the sound of his heart beating.  I don't know why, I can't explain it.  I know that whenever I hear it, everything stops and it's just so peaceful and calm.  
He's a great poet, and I'm not just saying that either.  He goes by A-Bomb on this site (now how's that for a shamless plug.)

Special acknowledgements to...

Andrea: You mean the world to me. Without you, there is no me. 'till death do us part. I am glad you had the heart to stick by me through all these years. I love you.  And no matter what happens and what we go through, I'll always stick by you.  Five years strong and many more to come.  

Adam: You mean everything to me.  Without you, I swear I'd have no purpose.  But you give me a reason to be happy and to go out there and just have fun!  I'm so glad that we found each other.  You made me realize so many things, and you've made me so strong.  I'll always be here for you no matter what.  I love you, baby.   One quote that says exactly what I feel about you. "I can't breathe when I'm with him, and when I'm not I want to be."  You're the greatest baby!   And you know what?  I'm really glad I have "that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of love," (It Takes Two) and I wouldn't have it any other way.  

Shanna: You are amazing!  We've had some difficult times, but in the end, true friends stick together.  I still have that poem on my door that you gave me.  It means a lot to me Shanna.  And in the end, everything you said was true.  I love you.  If we can make it past that, we can truly live through anything!  
   
Matt: You'll always have a place in my heart.  Hopefully we will always be able to stay friends, if you want.  Take care.                

Sara: Never give up on yourself Sara.  You know I'll always be here for you.  You haven't failed me yet, even if you think you've failed yourself and the world.  You are insanely talented and you have a huge heart.  I won't stand to see you let it go.    
           

   

I've been down, now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation comin' around
I guess its right, its so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got, you lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the one to hold you
Every bit of air your breathing in
A soothing wind, I wanna be inside your heaven

When we touch, when we love
The stars line up, the wrong becomes undone
Naturally my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

When minutes turn to day and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holding you until the day I die

---*Inside Your Heaven by Carrie Underwood (Inside Your Heaven)*

This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bare

But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go thru

Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know

Your days you say they're way too long
And your nights you can't sleep at all (hold on)
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more

---*Hold On by Good Charlotte (The Young and the Hopeless)*
