Introduction i am goofy. i am serious. i am simultaneously vain and self-depricating. i am my own worst critic. i am an imperfect perfectionist. i like to plan ahead but i also love being spontaneous. i love to laugh....seriously LAUGH MY BUTT OFF. after my butt has come off and i re-attach it, i like to laugh some more. i love movies - love to buy them, rent them, read about them, see them in the theatre! i am creative and passionate about many things - too many to name here. i love to express myself through my writing, through art, through dance, through and through... i am striving to rise to my God-given potential yet know i will never reach it. i fall down, and i get up again. i am a work horse, and as i work, i daydream about how nice it would be, to be lazy every now and then.
