Name: Rose
Country: United States
State: Illinois
Gender: Female
Interests: I'm definitely introverted (although others may tell you otherwise) and simple things excite me. I have an insatiable appetite for honesty and I'm easily provoked by intelligence and humanitarianism.
I love musicals, plays, museums, art shows, musicians, dancing and any kind of performing arts. I really dig talent.
Music is currently my addiction and messing around with my electric violin.
Expertise: How to not study for an exam, verbal diarrhea, food-whoring, numerology, and mental foreplay. Three things I can't live without: my ipod, my camera and most of all-- my family.
Turn-ons: passion, wit, spontaneity, compassion is sexy. Turn-offs: wasted talent, superficial, money driven, judgemental people. Words to live by: DON'T judge a book by it's cover. 
The most intriguing person I could meet is someone who's outer beauty matches the person inside. My philosophy is to live by the moment. Whether it’s as a skillful surgeon or a voluptuous vixen, yes… I’m out to conquer the world!

| One of the few things I do before I go bed lately is to listen to music. I've been addicted to Adam Lambert on American Idol, even though I really don't care for the show. He's been trained in musical theater since he was 10 years old. His has amazing vocal range, control, and to me he exudes glam rock. I get inspired when people aren't afraid to step out of their comfort zone and I love it when people provoke controversy. 
I think all the talk about him has been focused on his sexual preference and the fact that he gay. I aggravates me when people lose sight of his talent and choose to focus their energy on stuff that's meaningless. Some have compared him to the infamous Freddie Mercury, who publicly annouced being HIV positive and then died a day later. If you get a chance to see him on youtube, on his demo reel you can see how he takes a song and truly makes it his own. He sings Bohemian Rhapsody, covers the Rolling Stones, even does Cher and somehow makes the song something I would want to listen to over and over again. I really think it's time for America to wake up and let him show you how he can devour the words. He's simply Fierce.

| "Once, a long, long time ago, all people had four legs and two heads. And then the gods threw down thunderbolts and split everyone into two. Each half then had two legs and one head. But the separation left both sides with a desperate yearing to be reunited. Because they each shared the same soul. And ever since then, all people spend their lives searching for the other half of their soul." -Gabrielle

| Have you ever wrote something and then looked back at what you wrote? I found a couple of old xanga posts that I wrote last year that just brought new meaning to my life, so I'm reposting it again.  _________________________________________________________________________ Lighthouse by Stanice Anderson I couldn't find my way…home. I had traveled beyond…the boundaries of my contentment…made choices…only a nomad…of uncertainty could make…My devotion was challenged along the banks of reason…as I trembled about…unsure of my place in the world…I had navigated myself somewhere beyond clear waters of understanding…How lost I had become…as the waves of disturbance…shackled my…convictions. I kneeled down…and let the silence of my thoughts…deliver a remedy…to my…desolation…You see it takes a moment…of seclusion…to hear the calmness of your soul…I had allowed myself to hear only the winds…of fear…on my course of never ending difficulties…In that moment…beyond seasons of occasions…a beckon of light…came forward…guiding me…onwards……over the shores of iniquity…beyond…the murkiness….of disorientation…showing me the way… heartening my spirit…raising me up…off of my knees…spilling me over…into a sea…of gratitude…The lighthouse…that marvelous beacon of hope….was within…me…all the time…It was I who had kept…its light…dim…I was…home….never truly lost…I had just lost my faith. _____________________________________________________________________  Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. ~Author Unknown August 27, 2006: When you help plan other weddings, you can't help but think about what your own would be like one day. Would you ever have a destination wedding in some far and exotic place? Would you want it close to home?? Outdoors? Indoors? A million people?? Or just a close few?? I could see how people could get easily caught up in the planning and forget the significance of the event in the first place. So here's the way I envision my wedding day:  I'm standing there with my head down, feeling anxious, excited, and as I raise my head up....my eyes meet his. And as I stare deeply into his eyes, I see my past and future in them. I see all the joy, happiness, trials and tribulations we would have to overcome together. I see strength and vulnerability. I see someone completely unselfish standing before me, waiting to give himself to me, and I to him. I see my reflection. I see me and who I am and who I am because of him. And at that moment, nothing else matters. *sigh* ______________________________________________________________________ "There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep AND hold that picture long enough, you soon will become exactly as you have been thinking." -William James "Hey you here I am (do this with me)

| Defying Gravity "Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down... 
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free..." -excerpt from the musical, Wicked | | |
| Skinny Bitchin' So as I was leaving Las Vegas the other day, I found myself perusing the bookstore in the airport and came across the book, Skinny Bitchin' by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. Of course, the title caught my attention in addition to Skinny Bitchin' written in bold, it also said the following: "A Get Off Your Ass journal to help you Change Your Life, Achieve Your Goals, and Rock Your World!" I was sold. It wasn't just a blank journal. It was empty pages filled with inspirational quotes with the introduction, "I'm giving you Bitches some homework." So, everyday I thought I would share the homework with you and maybe you can join me with this life changing process created to face fears, take on challenge and THRIVE! DAY ONE HOMEWORK: "What have you failed at in the past that you now regret? Or what task, project, or goal are you avoiding because it's challenging? Today, start taking it on. And this time, don't be such a pussy when things get tough." "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." ---Henry Ford | | |
