Author has written 3 stories for Humor, and Romance.

I am committed to serving the Lord my God with all my heart.
I am Irish. (I live in America)
My standards and ideals are ridiculously high, and I'm good with that
I am a musician, a writer, and a teacher, and a student.
Reading is almost as necessary as breathing to me.
I have no special gift. I am only passionately curious.
I never could get into wearing jewelry other than a ring and the studs in my ears.
I would rather listen than speak.
Criticism is more valuable to me than praise.
I find more inspiration and truth in the Bible than in any other literature on this planet.
Drama is not my cup of coffee.
Out of all my friends, I am the practical one.
I am also the strange one, the coffee-drinking one, the smart one, and the reasonable one.
And the sarcastic one, and the one who ignores trends and cliques, and the tomboy.
I am neither the pretty one, nor the funny one.
I am not the popular one, the dramatic one, the girly one, the fashionable one, or the one who listens to music that makes your ears bleed.
Saturday is my favorite day of the week.
In all my life, I have always been the weird one.
I am fiercely protective of the people I love.
I love Mexican food.
I adore photography... that is when I'm taking pictures, and not being in them.
I collect quotes from everywhere. I have hundreds, and I love them all.

As far as men go, I like them tall, dark eyed, dark haired, slightly mysterious, with a good sense of humor. He must be smarter, stronger, and more coordinated than I am, and he absolutely must love to read. If he writes me actual letters in his own handwriting, I will fall in love. I have no problem with him looking like Johnny Depp, being able to fence, speaking several different languages, and having a gorgeous knee melting accent. If he can play music, that's good. If he'll play duets with me, that's even better. And he must respect and love me, but not more than he respects and loves God.

All that, and he should be incredibly sexy if he possibly can, not to mention a good kisser.

As of recently, I'm bloody well in love, though I swear he doesn't fit the above list. He's tall (ridiculously so... 6'6"!), does not have dark hair or dark eyes, isn't very mysterious. He has the best sense of humor in the world, and is smart in the areas that I'm not, but asks me to correct his English papers for him. He's definitely stronger and more coordinated than I am. He does not look like Johnny Depp. No accent, no fencing abilities, he does speak a little German. He plays the violin. He's passionate about God. I find him quite sexy, but I have no idea if he's a good kisser, unfortunately.

He has so many things going for him. He has an amazing family that I would do anything to be a part of. He loves the part of the country that I wish I lived in, he has common sense, but a mischievous nature. He talks to me all the time and keeps mentioning how much he wants me to come visit him this winter. Maybe this is a passing thing for me, but I hope not. I'm reminded of this quote, which someday I'll be brave enough to say to his face. "Destiny: You were made for me. Perhaps as a punishment."

My music tastes are random, to put it mildly. I defy all genres in favor of creativity and composition, so anyone looking at my playlist will be confused beyond measure. I like at least two songs from each of the following artists, but rarely do I like all the songs they've done.

Nick Cave, James Morrison, Foreigner, Natasha Bedingfield, TobyMac, Alison Krauss, The Pogues, The Chieftains, Morrissey, The Dubliners, Taylor Swift, Dashboard Confessional, Five for Fighting, Bon Jovi, Alanis Morissette, Joss Stone, Saving Jane, Aretha Franklin, ApologetiX, Smashmouth, Thousand Foot Krutch, Weezer, Deep Purple, James Blunt, KT Tunstall, Flatfoot56, Mae, Relient K, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., Lisa Kelly, Mairead Nesbitt, Spoken, MxPx, Haste the Day, Deas Vail, Fireflight, Oasis, Flogging Molly, Regina Spektor, Eric Clapton, George Winston, Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Hayley Westenra, Vanessa Carlton, Ben Folds, Keane, Boston, Sarah McLachlan, Steppenwolf, Billy Joel, Chantal Kreviazuk, Jonah33, Hawk Nelson, Kansas, Toto, The Eagles, The Doors, Diamond Rio, Jars of Clay, Rebecca St.James, and Guns and Roses, and many more.

I told you so.

Now for some of those quotes I told you I love:

- We are not retreating, we are advancing in a different direction. ~Douglas Macarthur

- If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some. ~Calvin (Bill Watterson- Calvin and Hobbes)

- And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions; and also upons the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. ~Joel 2:28-31

- Be neither a conformist nor a rebel, for they are really the same thing. Find your own path and stay on it. ~Paul Vixie

- It could probably be shown through facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress. ~Mark Twain

-Cupcake, you just can't beat the purity of communication in a simple punch to the nose. ~Cleo Coyle

- Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. ~Thomas Edison

- I have no special gift, I am only passionately curious. ~Albert Einstein

- A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word "darkness" on the walls of his cell. ~C.S. Lewis

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! ~Dennis (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
