My Life of Surprises: Dreams

Dreams

They will see us waving from such great Heights,

'come down now,' they'll say

But everything looks perfect from far away,'come down now,' but we'll stay...

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

Take a closer look...

I can be a little random at times, so just a tiny heads up there. I've been dancing for most of my life, and its become a major passion of mine. I grew up dreaming of teaching dance at my own studio, but now as I think a little more -and I'm not 7 anymore- I really want to just dance. As my career, as my life's work. I truly appreciate my dance teacher, Ms. Deborah, who has gone through the ups and downs with teaching me throughout these 11 years. And my other very close teacher, Ms. Holly. Holly is more of a good girlfriend but can be also very motherly. Having 3 kids of her own, she knows what she's doing.. Besides dancing, I am a major photography freak. I take pictures of absolutely anything! From snails, to sunsets; or ocean views, to my family and friends. Most likely, that would be my plan B if dancing never worked out in my future. Quote by my mama. Speaking of her, she is truly a strong woman. I love her so much, and can't thank her enough for everything she's done for me. Same with my dad. Who is as much as a goof as Goofy himself. That's where I get my character I guess..

I've been Clara in The Nutcracker, which was in 2009; The Sugar Plum Fairy in 2010; have performed with college students at Delta College in San Jose. A modern show called "Elements". Lots of African movements, very new to me but it was a great experience for a few of my friends and I. Only had less than a week to learn the dances though, cause some of their dancers had to drop out due to other issues but we did it and we're so proud of ourselfs! Got 150 dollar check to prove it!! ;) So exciting! My first paying job! LOL

Hmm, Twilight... I've been a fan for about a year now. Didn't know about it until March of last year. Didn't start reading the first book till that month. Loved them ever since! I think Eclipse may be my favorite but I'm not sure.. Maybe it's cause of the tent scene ;) I dunno, but I just think I'm drawn to the love triangle between the three of them!

And I'm absolutely Team Jacob if any of you were wondering =P All the way baby!!

I love swimming, reading, writing, hanging out with my friends and family, going on vacation, listening to music on my purple iPod(:, taking pictures of EVERYTHING, and playing with my baby kitty, Bella =)

Okay so I would like to be a photographer hopefully... Well that's what my Mom says.

"I think you should be a photographer if dancing doesn't work out as your job."

So yeah, maybe.. Maybe go take pictures in Africa. That'd be very cool. But right now, I'll just stick with taking pictures of my cat, dance shots, and nature =)

I have three older brothers, Ryan; the oldest, Shelby; the middle, and Jordan; the youngest. As you may know, brothers can be terrible beings. Weird-smelly-odd-loud-obnoxious-and over bearing. How could they even be human? But deep down.. way deep down.. They can be sweet. Possibly nice, and caring. Though still over protective when it comes to having a boyfriend. I am currently single, but when I do get one, man it'll be a risk for the poor guy.

I have two cats, one lives at my Nana's cause my dad's allergic, but the other lives here. Somehow, he doesn't have the same reaction to her than the other.. Abby is going to be nine in August, while Bella -who lives at home- is 5 years old, and a very spoiled fat kitty. Though we love her to bits! We used to have a small female pitbull named Cocoa, only able to have her for two weeks cause she eventually grew irritated with the yap dogs next door and tried to bite through the fence. Which, unfortunately, meant that she had to go.. It was a sad day when she left, just because she was the sweetest thing you could have ever laid your eyes on! She would just crawl into your lap and fall straight asleep. She never barked or growled, only except to annoy the bratty dogs, but other than that, she was a sweetheart. She now lives on a farm out in Lathrop -maybe a few hours from here- with three other female pitbulls. At least she's happy and running around in a big space. That's all that matters right?

I have so many best friends, its crazy. Some people say that you can't too many best friends, and I say what the heck to that.

First of all.. I've met a girl named Victoria Telling, who lives in the UK. She's SO funny and normally I have tears rolling down my cheeks when she makes a joke. I love her to bits! She is also an amazing writer, and I highly recommend you reading some of her Twilight inspired stories. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2216534/Alice_oxox

Okay, so I used to play ToonTown Online right? Have you guys heard of that game? You fight against evil robot cogs with pies and stuff and get points.. Haha, yeah it sounds weird but it was a lot of fun! You can meet a lot of great people on there as well, which is why I am talking about this one particular girl :) Her names Monique and she lives in Georgia. She is the nicest person I think I've ever met on the game and I love her so much! We talk about anything and everything.. Like we've known each other through all our years but have never found each other. She's my southern sister in a way and I'll never forget her... We keep in touch constantly through email which is good. I love her!! :)

Hmmm, Hayley.. She is more like my sister. We can talk about anything, we have had thousands of sleepovers at each others houses, taken millions of insane pictures and just have enjoyed life together! We are like this *crosses fingers*, that's how close we are. She's my dancing pal, my Bambi twin (we both have super long legs), my Haylay Bop.. I would go on, but she just has way too many nicknames. xoxox

Okay, then.. Addie! Oh wow, she's a special one that's for sure. She's sorta like Bella... Clumsy, awkward, and white.. Haha, just kidding! *smiles* I love her cause she makes me laugh, brightening anyones mood. She's like the older, weirder sister I never had.. Oh Adeline. xoxox

I've made a lot of great friends on FanFiction.net. Like Miss Jozy, my fellow Taylor Lautner writer ;) She's amazing and super talented, love her lots. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2284505/Jozamber Please check out her stories! They're awesome:)

There's Rae Burns, whom has written the best TL story that could ever have been written in like forever! http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2147519/Raeburns3 Don't say that I'm over exaggerating cause I'm not!! Haha. She is British and absolutely fabulous! =) Jozy and I are extremely jealous of her writing.. Hehe, possibly..

And then there's my four crazy girls from the south. Alabama to be exact. Kelsey, Marlee, Maci, and Brooke! They are all great and fun lovin' girls, who have followed up with my own TL story and have graciously loved it as much as I do. I love getting daily PM's from them, seeing what they're up to and what trouble they are most likely getting into ;) That's mostly Marlo there haha. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2397597/MMKBSisters41

Love my FF Family!!

I love music. It fills me with so much happiness, anything style any time. My purple iPod Nano is my best friend ;)

So I guess if you have any questions, ask away! I'll be happy to answer them. Thank you again for taking the time to read this garbage ;) I appreciate all the people who read my blog! Makes me feel that I'm not that crazy after all.. haha, just kidding..
