Getting to know you: Lisa's Introduction

First off, a big thanks to Ana, Fran, and Valerie for sharing a little bit about yourselves on here. Everyone is so unique and different but we all seem to share some similarities as well...I love that! Now I suppose it's my turn to give a little introduction.

Even though I have a blog where I share my ideas on my life, thoughts, and everything else, I am not the best at talking about myself or giving praises for my accomplishments or talents, but here it goes.

I feel like I am at a crossroads at my life and for the first time I really have no idea what is going to happen next, or where I'll end up. I love that feeling of uncertainly where literally anything can happen, but a big part of me is also craving something permanent, predictable, and a settled life somewhere. Don't confuse that with me wanting to "settle down" though, because I am certainly not ready for that. :) Which brings me to my next comment...

I am so picky, no wonder I am still single. Is that a bad thing? People sometimes tell me that I have pretty high standards, but I am fully confident that the right guy is out there for me somewhere in the world...stay tuned for any future details on that!

I feel like there are still so many things I am discovering about myself-- likes, dislikes, passions, you name it. My life is entirely different from how it was 2 or 3 years ago. On the outside a lot of things may appear to be the same-- most of the changes have been internal. My outlook and attitude has altered so much within the past year or so. I feel like I am at peace with everything and I am no longer looking back at the past or blaming anyone or anything for the way my life is going. I feel fully in control and ready to see where life takes me.

I have recently developed a creative side...I completed two amazing scrapbooks earlier this year that I am so proud of. I have also really started to get into photography, and of course, blogging. It is so therapeutic and I have had the pleasure of interacting with so many different kinds of people from all over the world. I feel like we are all united in some way.

I am completely obsessed with all-things relating to media and entertainment-- movies, theater, music, magazines, journalism, concerts, radio, television, you name it. I could spend hours in a bookstore. If the bookstore also carries films and CD's then I could pretty much be there all day! :) I somehow need to find a job that incorporates those things into my daily work routine. Speaking of jobs, I am currently unemployed and although I enjoyed it at first (sleeping in late, creating my own schedule, comfy clothes, blogging 24/7, etc.) it has quickly become rather depressing and I cannot wait to start a full-time job somewhere (soon, hopefully!).

Other random things that I adore: my friends and family, Disneyland, baseball, Sex & the City, shopping, elephants, zoos, flowers, Johnny Depp, makeup, rock/alt/folk/indie music, laughing, learning, shoes, traveling, candles, reading & writing, poetry, diet coke, handbags, history, research, bubble baths, and so much more.
