APRIL 19, 2010: I am not around much currently due to the fact that I am spending most of my time helping a family member out as she recovers from TBI after a seizure this fall. The doctors recently thought she had a brain bleed, but we are still waiting for more thorough tests after the initial ones didn't show much of anything. Please understand that I am doing what I can with what little free time I have.

i'm twenty fiveyears old, a nanny for three amazing little girls (three year old twins and their seven year old sister) and a full time college student (majoring in early childhood education).

some of my favorite things are writing in my journal, relaxing, riding my bike through the quiet neighborhoods in my area, taking pictures, writing letters and spending time with my family and friends.

what you may not know about me is that i am in LOVE with the ziggy dolls. you know, the cartoon guy! i have a lot of them, but i am always looking for more.

i got my first ziggy when i was a little over a year old and i still have him (he still sleeps with me at night).

if you have any/see any and would be willing to trade, i would be so so thrilled and so so so thankful! i can send what you like in return.

i'm very laid back and quiet. i love my friends as if they are my family, and they have been very supportive of me.

on warm, sunny afternoons i love to sit outside and read a book or write. spring is my favorite season to do this because it's not too cold and it's not too hot. the weather is perfect!

i love animals -- i have three four cats (abby, kudos, roxy and rynna). i really want a dog, but the house i live in now just isn't set up for a dog.

i'm not very picky -- but i don't like bad swappers, white chocolate, onions, mushrooms and homophohia. i also don't like thunderstorms (i'll admit it, i'm scared of them) and arguments.

i have a wide range of favorite colors -- i love hot pink and lime green. i love earth green, the blue green of the ocean, the color of redwoods. i love dark red, lavender and silver. i love the color turquoise and the bright yellow of spring flowers.

i am ALLERGIC to honey. i don't like white chocolate, butterscotch and cinnamon candy/gum/sweets.

i'm looking for long letter pals! :)

i won't lie -- i am addicted to paranormal romance novels! j.r. ward is my favorite author and her brotherhood of the black dagger series is amazing! read them! :D

i love writing -- letters, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, in my journal, etc, collaging, doodling in my journal or on random scraps of paper. i love photography as well.

anything and everything! seriously. i listen to a little bit of everything.

i've been listening to avril lavigne, snow patrol, good charlotte, hilary duff, fall out boy and much more lately. i have hanson, backstreet boys, yanni, dashboard confession and my chemical romance on my ipod. what i listen to depends on my mood -- but music keeps me going.

i can't go anywhere without my ipod!

the princess diaries, american tail, land before time, 10h kingdom, harry potter, lord of the rings, charlotte's web, happy feet, the namesake, the lion king, star wars (original!), land before time, the neverending story, the princess bride .... there's a lot more movies i like. i can't remember them all!

america's next top model, survivor, american idol, planet earth, lost worlds, anything on the history channel, discovery channel, travel channel or discovery health channel.

i love watching documentaries about ww2/holocaust. if i ever change my major to history, i will focus on that time period. it's so interstesting to me and so sad, but at the same time, i believe we all need to learn about it and become fully aware of what happened.

dark lover, lover eternal, lover awakened, lover revealed, lover unbound (sept 2007 release), lover enshrined (2008 release date), magic's pawn, magic's price, the diary of anne frank, fantasy lover, the princess diaries series, twilight, new moon, eclipse... and more to come when i remember the rest of them...

I am always looking for more swappers and penpals. I enjoy long letter pals who I can form a life long friendship with!
