Once upon a time, very long ago, a young girl had a terribly broken heart. So many days she spent with puffy eyes and too many candy bars and a bit too much spending at the mall and, well, a few moments of leading other guys on just to have someone to sorta hold and maybe a half dozen spying moments of her old love that some might consider stalking but she would later describe as enchanting coincidence. She thought she would never love the same again and prepared herself for a life of casual dates and the wedding ceremony of her and her closet.

But when she grew up she realized that TRIX actually are for kids and she fell enthusiastically in love with a near by prince. He effortlessly completed all his sentences and thought her being a goody-two-shoe was an endearing quality instead of a drag. They've since promised to love each other forever and ever and ever and even created a little mini-prince who giggles like a storybook and smells like a sugar cookie.

I am infused with creativity on an (almost) daily basis. Even if I am not actually doing a creative thing, I have many thought bubbles above my head as I am driving in my car or even smack in the middle of Target. And I just pray it doesn't pop before I can grab a paper and pen.

Since being bitten by the shutter bug almost three years ago, I see things a lot differently. It is so much fun to spy something perfectly unplanned and then view it like a little piece of art through my lens.

I am a bit peculiar. Sometimes I annoy myself but I can't run away from me so I just take a nap. I have a quirky sense of humor that can go overboard but never drowns. I don't get along with everyone, but I pretend to. If you see a girl with a broken smile, it isn't me.

Though most don't see it in my daily personality, I have an addiction to dramatic dialogue, I love words that I never utter and I dream in yellow ribbons of song. my release of these words is through my poetry.

oh, and i love cake.
