I am deeper than my southern accent. I have wild hair, and it's only semi-red, auburn really. I smile a lot. I have a lot to smile about. I believe that we all have the power to make a positive difference in this world. =) Thumbs up: My camera in my hands, teaching, getting older, my dog at my feet, running towards my master's, hearing people laugh- it's the best sound on this planet, family, survivors, sunny days, keeping an open mind, listening to NPR, faith, the sound of my feet hitting an empty trail, chocolate, getting out when the time is right, sunshine, art, analyzing anything, learning something new, a locket with a picture of my grandmother in it, polarized sunglasses, chai or earl grey tea with skim milk and equal, knowing who you are sober, boots, seeing strangers help one another, a fast lens, flowers, the way nature looks in the fog, red wine, dogs, blues/jazz music, sleeping in, remembering where you came from, a clean house =( Thumbs down: cleaning, molestaches, people who constantly quote Marilyn Monroe or some other desperate celeb, revolving doors, most cats, implants, Oklahoma wind, insecurities, student loans, gold diggers, feminazis, uncomfortable heels, navel rings, closed minds, nicnac collections, sloppy drunks (guilty!), retiring and then unretiring, instant gratification mentalities, selfishness, the sound of a fork being scraped on a plate, people who don't think they need anybody, red lights that aren't synchronized to one another, musky perfume, greed, ego, being tired, procrastication, but we can talk about that later...
