I was in the Army from 1996-1999. During that time I was deployed to Bosnia. After the Army I received my Bachelors Degree in Business Management and start my Masters of Public Administration in October. I have traveled the world and lived in many places. I enjoy traveling when I have the opportunity. Maybe I will move back to Europe? I have many tattoos including: flowers around my ankle, a tribal frog on my collar bone, a fairy and a lotus flower on my back. Dragonflies are attracted to me for some reason. Also, it seems wherever I go there is usually some sort of dragonfly symbol that follows me. Maybe the dragonfly is my totem?



I have a personality disorder. No, I do not have split personalities. I have hard time coping with certain situations which lead to depression, anxiety, thoughts of self harm, etc.
I also have PTSD. I am a survivor and trying to overcome what has happened to me in the past.

Angels. I believe everyone has guardian angels who watch over them. God. My son. The "Serenity Prayer." Orchids. Freedom. Volunteering. Having the ability to chose. Irises. Sunshine. The cold. Snow. Christmas (not because of the presents but because I like the togetherness). All types of music except for country. I love the United States. I enjoy traveling, Prague, seeing new places, art, the sound of rain hitting the rooftop, shopping, reading a good book, coffee, good wine, walking on the beach, the History Channel, Discovery Channel, watching the sunset, dancing, laughing, hanging out with friends, animals, meeting new people, poetry, going to museums, learning new things, consistently evolving, spending time with my family, feeling a cool breeze through my hair, writing in my journal, spending time with my son, supporting our soldiers, Salvador Dali, Marilyn Monroe, and tattoos. Human rights. Buddhist philosophy. Television Shows: House, CSI, Law and Order: SVU, Scrubs.

Being depressed, anxious, oppression, China, ignorant people, snakes, people who consistently lie, egoism, people who gossip, pedophiles and murderers, people who think themselves better than everyone else, people who are fake, President Bush (does not mean I do not support our troops), unneccesary war, and animal cruelty.

Jazz, punk, emo, alternative, ska, 80's, 90's, old school rap, and classical.

Anything I can learn from, "A New Earth", The Bible, self-help books.

Independent films, love stories, horror, action, comedies.

Reading, watching t.v. (sometmes...depends on the show), shopping, dancing, swimming, sometimes writing poetry, speaking my mind, and traveling.
