Sometimes I wonder if I am too open with who I am, how I feel and what I think...I have always had this wish to be mysterious, but it just isn't me. Looking beyond that; should I guard who I am? Should I make sure you are worthy to know who I am? But maybe I'm not as open as I feel I am or maybe you're just not listening, because you there are times when you make comments that make me wonder if you know me at all.
I do have secrets. Things that no one else knows, but most of them are not too interesting. At times I think about documenting them here- both as an attempt to understand myself better and to let you know more. But whenever I begin, I rarely finish. My words can't express somethings and others beg to not be expressed. I'm learning some secrets are better left untold and others are discovered when you least expect it by someone who knows your depths.
It's interesting to think how many layers of ourself that we have. Layers that are presented all as one piece to certain people, or individually to others. Layers that can become secrets... Layers that ultimately define you, whether you like it or not. I am not just a girl, I am more than that. I am a pastors daughter, a Christian, a writer, a lover, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a student, a photographer... My layers define me and define my likes/dislikes. But do you know all of them? Probably not. I doubt if anyone besides God knows all of them. Sometimes I wonder if I know all of them; I do know there are more to come.
Perhaps I am more mysterious than I give myself credit..
Perhaps I should finish reading for psychology...

It was good in the beginning...
Over the past few days this complex thing called "love" keeps appearing in conversations with unrelated, and usually random, people. I think everyone has a grasp of friendship love, sibling love, and such, but when it comes down to romantic love.. well.. where to begin..
I guess it's more complicated because everyone in my generation has their own ideal of how they will fall in love, or possibly when or with whom, but you kind of think you know what it will be like. All of our ideals, however, are dramatically influenced by the media and movies. I have admitted it before and I'll admit it again, I want the fairy-tale movie love story, but what I question is if it exists and if so, on what level.
It's just so strange.. I imagine love as this abstract presence that everyone on Earth is trying to grasp, but it floats just out of reach, except for the select few have conquered it and maintained a fast grasp. Is it true that some think they have grasped it, or think they've fallen in love, but they haven't really? But if they have, can you fall in love multiple times? And if you can, does that discount the idea of a soul mate?
One of my friends said that she was once told that she shouldn't look for someone she can live with, but someone she can't live without. Yet, as she has grown older she has flipped that view and truly believes she should find someone she can live with. But I would say find someone you don't want to live without, but also someone you can live with.. Well that just gets complicated again.
Overall, the general consensus has been that love typically appears when you least expect it.
Love itself scares me. Too many people abuse the use of word they say "I love you" as simply as they say "hello" and then the question arises as to whether they love you as you should love everyone, or do they mean "I am in love with you." Now we approach the two phrases that mean something completely different. I myself have only told two people in the past that I loved them, in the sense of being in love. At the time of each I truly believed it; now, looking back, I know for certain I wasn't in love with the first, and the second.. time still needs to answer that one.
While the idea and this concept of love may forever confuse me, and confront me as more of my friends are married off, I think I will just continue to pray that one day it will all be clear and make sense, without explanation. I just see it as something I will "just know."
Well, these are my rambling thoughts and here is a proverb that is my reasoning for being ever so cautious with serious relationships and silly boys..
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Prov. 4:23
Love God, Love people.

Bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils...
I have always been interested in this idea that the person you walk by today could be your best-friend or lover tomorrow. I was discussing it with a friend this past weekend; she graduated a year and a half ago and has since become friend with other alumns who live in Dallas. She thought it was crazy that they were in school together but were friends after; they could have had class together, or ate at the same restaurant, or attended the same party.
I never understood my obsession with this idea.. until today. My favorite movie is "You've Got Mail" - it's the only movie I can watch over and over again. It's also the first movie to really make me fall in love with New York. Anyway, the opening scenes show Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan on their morning walk to work. The visit the same places, just seconds behind each other, then pass each other without notice, only for the movie to end with them falling in love. Never again would they walk by and not notice each other...
So be kind to everyone you see today. Wear a smile on your face. You never know how they will impact your life today, tomorrow, a few years down the road... No matter what you'll walk away with memories :)

Diary-esque..
I'm an artist and an actress.
Ok, well, I am an artist.
Today marks my first gallery appearance. Our student and faculty art show reception was this evening; which consists of browsing the walls and pedastals to see if your work made the cut. My basket did, my two photographs did not. But out of 180 entries, that were cut down to less than 80, I think I did well enough. Maybe one day I'll have a gallery full of just my photographs.
My basket is made of jute wrapped in ribbon, titled Raindrops and is currently listed at $300, if anyone is interested.
As for being an actress - I was in my close friend's documentary today. She had asked me for help in recruiting guys, which I did, but at the last minute two of her girls didn't show so I was chosen to fill in. There were four guys, four girls, and the topic was the history of kissing in movies. When it comes out and she becomes famous from this Q&A, make sure to watch it and see how incredibly awkward I was.
That's pretty much the gist of my exciting day, on top of work and class. This weekend proves to be entertaining with a play, a Women's Leadership conference, and a fabulous Ethan Durelle concert.
Sorry that my blog is less informational and more diary-esque... hope you are enjoying my random thoughts and recaps of my life.
Love God, love people.

A week of new adventures...
May 2008 marks the date of my graduation from university. On the 17th I will receive my Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in journalism and a minor in studio art. After that day I will begin making my way into the real world. So what is a girl to do with drastic life changes looming in the distance? Travel. She should travel.
I may not be graduating for another two months, but I decided that Spring Break would be a fabulous time to see sights I have never seen before. With my best friend Amanda on board for a trip, we decided on California, as neither of us had ever been. From there we pitched around ideas of what city to visit, until the idea was given to us of driving down the Pacific Coast Highway. So we booked two one-way tickets, on in two San Francisco and one out of San Diego, we rented a car and we took off.
The PCH or Highway 1 is breathtaking, both in its beautiful views and its slightly frightening turns and sheer cliff drop-offs. It's similiar to riding a rollercoaster.. All the tension and build up while rounding the mountains, then a relaxing moments driving through berry farms, vineyards, and dairy farms.
As I said, our vacation began in San Francisco.
After a quick change of planes in Denver, we arrived just before lunchtime, giving us most of the day to explore. We quickly hit up Chinatown, after a drive through the "historic" sites. We found what is rumored to be the first Fortune Cookie Factory, but is definitely one of the oldest where the cookies are still hand-made. Two women make about 20,000 a day!
After that we headed to Fisherman's Wharf and in Ghiradelli Square we discovered a small cupcake shop with heavenly treats and the softest icing I have ever tasted- Kara's Cupcakes. They have only two locations, both in SF, and their ingredients are virtually all locally obtained and organic from Californian farms.
I selected the Rasberry Dazzle- a chocolate cupcake with sweet rasberry buttercream. It was positively divine and a must if you are visiting the city.
Of course, our trip would not be complete without driving across the Golden Gate Bridge and just simply taking in the lovely architecture which makes the city so unique... and of course, there are the hills, Lombard Street, and fighting to keep your car from rolling backwards.
After a night's stay in San Mateo, we drove to the in San Jose. It is a gorgeous Victorian home built by the late Mrs. Sarah Winchester, who inherited the Winchester rifle family fortune. After her baby and husband died, she saw a psychic who told her that the spirits of those killed by the rifle were attacking her. He said the only way to avoid the spirits would be to move West and build a house that she never finished. So for 38 years, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, she built. She oversaw everything and had a working farm as well. She included windows in the floor, doors that lead to walls, and stairs to the ceiling in her design to confuse the spirits. It's really amazing and so worth visiting.
It was after this that we were finally able to make it down to the PCH. It's probably the most beautiful from Santa Cruz to Monterey.
In Monterey we visited their Fisherman's Wharf and had a divine seafood dinner at Isabella's. Everyone along the wharf was begging us to choose their restaraunt, but I think we chose well.
The evening was spent at the Howard Johnson, which is nothing like most HJs. It was more like a sad, seaside motel. But we did drive by a few lovely bed & breakfasts, such as The Green Gable. The next morning we had an organic breakfast at the Wild Plum Cafe & Bakery. It was delicious. The eggs were better than most restaraunt eggs - they were real. Also, it was reasonably priced. If we weren't so full afterwards we would have tried one of the scrumptious looking muffins.
After a quick walk around Cannery Row, we drove on to Big Sur. There we were supposed to find a waterfall that runs in to the ocean. I'm still a bit confused by it, but I believe there is a Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and a Julia Pfeiffer State Park. Anyway, we visited the first, but should have driven on the the second. We did fina waterfall, but it wasn't too powerful and it runs into the river. Overall we hiked about 5 miles in 3 hours. We find a fabulous view from the top of one mountain, with more mountains to one side and the ocean to another side.
The hike wore us out, but we were spurred on to the Hearst Castle outside San Simeon.
Unfortunately, we missed the last tour by about half an hour but I hope to go back one day.
That Tuesday was our longest travel day, but we made it into Santa Barbara by nightfall. Hotel Oceana was our stay for the night. It was really pretty and just across the street from the ocean. Unfortunately, it was a bit too chilly to enjoy the water the next day. We did however visit the Mission.
On Wednesday, the PCH took us into Malibu. There we had lunch at Geoffrey's. The view was gorgeous (that seems to be a constant comment that I make). The restaraunt is mostly outside and we sat the balcony overlooking the ocean. It is definitely on the high-price side, but you pay for the view and the we both enjoyed our food as well.
Malibu is very pretty and all located along the coast. Santa Monica was just as nice. We walked along the pier and the beach, passing just by the tents holding a film crew and Adam Sandler... sadly, there was no view of him.
Our evening that night was spent in Torrance, just by Redondo Beach.
We decided to spend it in and watch a movie. My friend Hunter came to visit us. It was great to see him as I haven't since my semester in NY.
Oh this is getting long... but it was a week :)
Moving on..
We visited Beverly Hills first on our full day in LA. We got Jamba Juice and walked Rodeo Drive, followed by a large cupcake from Crumbs. Mainly it was big and messy, but it was good too. We were searching for Sprinkles, but somehow we missed it.
Afterwards we attempted a drive of celebrity homes.. unfortunately the map we had was for more D-list celebs. So we made our way to West Hollywood. We drove along Sunset Blvd, saw the stars along Hollywood Blvd, and viewed the imprints in front of Mann's Chinese Theater. It was rather dissapointing though. It's dirty and we happened to walk up on the end of fight, after being surrounded by school groups.. But at least we can say we saw it and the sign. My favorite part was shopping at H&M on Sunset. I so love that store :)
For fabulous Italian food in Torrance you must try Aliotta's Via Firenze. As the menu says, the dishes will take you back to Italy (I suppose even if you are like me and you've never been). The exterior is deceiving as the interior is charming and warm. Try it, you'll love it.
So there, most of the week was finished.
Friday we drove out to Riverside and met my cousin Zach for lunch at his school, California Baptist University. It was so good to see him.
After that we drove in to San Diego, hoping to lay out on Pacific Beach, only to find that it was much cooler than LA... so much so that we were wrapped up in sweatshirts. But it gave us time to drive around the City and over to see the Hotel del Coronado. I hope to stay there some time.
Our hotel was supposed to be in San Diego, but it was actually about 30 minutes away.. We did try out the hot tub, before showering and heading out to the Gas Lamp District. There we had a rich souffle at Bella Luna.
Our final day was spent at the San Diego Zoo. Amanda wanted to see the pandas :) We bought a value pass so that we could take a bus tour and got a quick overview as we only had 2 hours. We did miss the monkeys, but we took a gondola or "skyfari" trip over the zoo.
For lunch we had In-And-Out, which was what I really wanted. It was really good, but just like any Mom-and-Pop shop. So definitely a bonus for fast food. But we took the drive-thru since we had to drop off our car... did I mention we drove a PT Cruiser.. hmm... that was something else.
Well, our plane brought us back. And though I miss the rolling green mountains of California, I plan to go back soon and check out everything I missed, including Disneyland!

Leavin on a jet plane...
In just over 24 hours I'll be headed to southern California. I'm so ready to get out of Texas. I love this state, but currently it's a bit suffocating.
In 10 weeks I will be walking across the platform at the Ferrell Center and receiving my undergraduate degree in journalism. Then look out world, this writer and photographer plans to make her mark. Not that I have any idea as to what that mark will be... but time shall tell.
But despite the fact that graduation is still two months away (such a short time!!), I am benefiting early with my trip to Cali. My sister got to go to New York, and while I adore the City, I chose a warmer climate that I have yet to experience. And experience it I will.. Flying in to San Francisco and driving the PCH to San Diego. I feel so blessed and excited! And very impatient..
So that's a very quick update. Short and sweet.
Here's my favorite song for the week:
Dave Barnes
The L.A. Song (cd: brother, bring the sun)
.....................
She drives down on Sunset
With the windows down
Just so she can let it in
She knows he's far-gone now
But there still are pieces
Pieces there still left of him
He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
There is a picture sitting by her bed
Her reflection in his face
She has been meaning, meaning to move it
But it's always been his place
He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
City of angels, everyone is sleeping
4 am and she's awake
She is moving, moving that picture
Someone will fill that space
Someone will fill that space
