the miss.

there is this new thing i am starting. something where i will interview people. and share it with you. because. people are neat. and should be known. and i find it fitting to begin with myself.

shade of choice. a dark red. a deep dark red.
animal love. tigers. lions. english bull dogs. cats.
inspirations. the clouds. trees. smiles of others. Jesus. love. music. colors. nature. carpets. and sunshine.
guilty loves. the feeling of dirty hair. barefeet. chlorine. chalkboards. wishing on dandelions. observing.
obsessions: quotes. people. jotting down thoughts. singing. shaking hips. making art. admiring nature. meeting new people. peanut butter. and chocolate chip cookies.
something that has shaped you: Jesus. it sounds odd, i know. but he has. i have struggled most of my life with finding a love for myself. until the summer after my sophmore year in fact. i tried to work through it all on my own. loneliness and confusion completely owned me. the extreme want of acceptance was my main focus. i wanted to meet miss mandi. i wanted to meet her. and i wanted to love her. one day, the dad suggested a prayer. i thought that foolish. yet, i got down on my knees. and what began as a half hearted "hey there." turned into a full hearted, "i need you." plead. and slowly, but surely, the layers shed, i peeled back, and grew into myself. and one day. while simply walking down the street, i met miss mandi. and since then, she has never left. i have realized that acceptance is the farthest thing from my my mind, i only need the acceptance of myself and jesus. and nothing else truly matters.
odd talents. painting rocks. finding art everywhere. thrifting. (call me pro. go ahead.) and learning all i can about a person from their body language and movements.
love to smell. wet cement, dewey grass, cholerine, pine, dandelions and thrifted books.
musical genius'. neil diamond has my heart. and cat stevens sings away my blues.
flick of choice. john hughes. anything john hughes.
era in time. 80s. or wild west. yeah. mullets and shotguns.
say something about yourself. i am just over five one. i don't like sleeping in, i like to catch the sunrise. i love to picnic. i have blue eyes. which i am most proud of. i wear my hair one way for weeks, then switch and wear it that way for awhile. i like to walk. and listen to folk music. i find red hair to be the most attractive and am a sucker for a good set of teeth. i express myself through how i dress. i like to take pictures. i could talk your ear off. lightening storms are beautiful. chocolate beverages taste good and i am a horrible driver.
and you give three cheers for. jesus' love. my cat smokey. and smile from a friend.
i am miss mandi. and i am satisfied with myself.
