Books Love to read. Just can't seem to finish anything lately

Likes I'm always late with good intentions, I love to people watch, and prefer to do it with a close friend. I have a potty mouth when I drink and usually the next day too. I'm a little messy a lot of the time. My favorite sandwich is a Monte Cristo, my favorite ice cream is vanilla because you can add anything to it and mix it together. I enjoy cooking and love baking. I like the feel of sand when I squish it in my hands. I love the sound of the rain, the feel of it on my face and I will always try to catch it in my mouth. I like to read cheesy romance novels. I love to drive fast, especially a mountain road, on the verge of out of control. I love a long road trip by myself. I can change my own flat tire. Skydiving is freedom. I believe in ghosts. I chose to live anyway and that is what gets me through the day. I know that I am loved by many and they know that I love them.

Dislikes Rude people.

Hobbies Watching movies, shopping, visiting friends and going for a long drive by myself.

Heroes My mom who has never left my side, she is so strong, she is what every mother should be. My closest friend Kristy, my rock.

I have a LBK, I was in an accident on the Colorado river on June 13th 2007, I had a compound fractured femur and my leg was almost completely severed below the knee, all on my left leg. I had a decision to make once I realized the severity of my injury and it was easy, to live. I knew my leg was gone and my only concern was a tourniquet and a helicopter, the only two immediate things that I knew would save my life as well as staying very, very calm and just breathing... I think God had a little to do with it as well.
