    About Me: I am a 26 year old female who is unique and different a lot of people. I'm different in a way because for the last ten years I have lived with a left/right Traumatic Brain Injury. For the most part I have control of the side effects that I have from my disability. I am part of the following:

    * Advisor of the TBI Raiders Volunteer Service
    * Member of the Oklahoma United We Ride Advisory Committee
    * Member of the National Youth Leadership Network
    * Member of the Special Education Advisory Board here in Oklahoma

    TBI Raiders was created in January of 2002 by myself and Ashley Washasuen (I don't remember how to spell her last name) who lives in another state, we discussed how more needed to be done to help students who had sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury or what is also known as a TBI. TBI affects 1.4 Million Americans every year and of those 1.4 million, over 50,000 will die from the disability while another 80,000+ will live with life long disabilities. Oklahoma is the fourth leading state in the nation with the most cases.

    In August of 2004 the month after I had returned from Washington DC I decided I wanted to do something more. What I decided to do was turn TBI Raiders, the online club, into a volunteer service. This isn't a non-profit just yet, but it is a very different organization. This is for students in high school and college. This is a chance for students to gain job skills, gain leadership skills, interact with various leaders from around the state, become better managers of their time, and so much more. In May of 2006, I was recognized by the House of Representatives for the work that I do. I went to attend the session because my state representative Danny Morgan presented a resolution before the House that would recognize volunteers who worked to improve the lives of Oklahomans who live with a TBI. It was passed unamiously and after that Rep. Morgan had myself then Dr. Ruth Azerados stand to be recognized.

    ************************
    A little more about me (LOL)
    I am someone who loves helping others and loves working with youth. I try to be a positive influence in their lives. I work hard to represent Oklahoma youth who live with disabilities and do my best to represent Oklahomans who have sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury....a very fatile and life altering disability for the most part.

    I am someone who loves to sing, write stories/songs/poetry, to dance, sew, crochet, swim, love doing web design and digital imaging, and so much more. I am a lady with many talents. I am trustworthy, loyal, faithful, and honest with everyone I care about. Some of the things I love to do are taking walks around town, taking walks in the park, taking pictures with my digital camera, babysitting, and hanging out on the farm with my grandparents who are my best friends. I love listening to music that is either country, pop, rap, r&b, rock, and christian.
    Music: I listen to about anything and everything. I was raised on country music. I love listening to music and singing along with it or singing at church. I love listening to Reba, LeAnne Rhimes, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Backstreet Boys, Nickelback, and Linkin Park the most.
    Movies: My favorite movie of all time is Delta Force. It would be the first Delta Force movie that came out and starred Chuck Norris in it. Another one of my favorite movies is Cruel Intentions. I like watching movies that are either dramas, comedies, or action.
    TV: American Idol, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, The Unit, Real World/Road Rules Challenge
    Likes: People who are honest, trust worthy, funny, socialable, caring
    Dislikes: People who like lying to get their way, people who are fake, those who love gossiping, spreading rumors, liars
    Hobbies: singing, dancing, songwriting, web design & management, helping others, writing articles, stories, or poetry, crocheting, sewing, disability advocating
    Virtues: I'm honest, loyal, keep the promises I make, work hard for what I want.
    Heroes: My Grandparents, my father (he he he's a First Sergeant in the Army Reserves and is the coolest)

    •  Perturbed  I've been quite disgruntled here in the last day or so but I'm not talking about it because I will have to put up with muscle spasms and sleeping spells.  And if you are wondering what topic I am referring to it's politics.  It is leaving a sour taste in my mouth especially when the party I'm a member of is apparently a terrorist loving anti American organization!  Look at who the hell they elected to be their candidate aka Obama!!!  And if you disagree fine just don't comment please.  I have enough to worry about in terms of my health without my emotions that'll cause my health to go haywire and I wind up  Scared 1 scaring people many of whom are on my friends list and believe me when I tell you if you were to do or say something wrong to me, they'd probably hunt you down and whoop your butt because they are so protective of me.  And most of these kiddos are the ones I am so proud of and tried to be the best role model and friend to when they were growing up.  And I'm just as protective of them also.  Shhh Psss....Whit I forewarned Michael that whenever we go on a double date with you and your husband, to just be prepared if you give him a talking to.  I remember about what you nearly did when we were students at Rose State when someone said some really mean stuff and got all on her high horse.

       Patience At the moment I'm trying to be patient about waiting for Michael to call me back and tell me how his doctor's appointment went.  Sniff Sniff I won't see him until the first weekend in August but that's cause I told him to not to worry about taking me out so he could save some gas money.  But he did get a promotion at work and might be working a higher paying job here in a week or so.  Raise The Roof 2  His mother is going to teach me how to make Indian Tacos aka Sinkers from scratch sometime.  Then before I see him I'm going to get my apartment super cleaned or try to anyways so we can have double dates or get togethers and dinners at my apartment with friends and family.

       Walking  But other than the above, I'm going to be drenching my body in tanning lotion and walking outside to get some exercise today and dang it!  I want my natural tan back!  I miss not being able to sun burn.  Damn that medicine they put me on in ICU when I was 16.  Oh well the meds kept me alive but did I have to lose my tan?????Waaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Plus I want to get in shape and in a week I need to be able to walk Boomer Lake in Stillwater with Michael.  Then when I get home I'm meditating! Meditate

    I'm so exhausted

    Monday, July 14, 2008, 12:21 PM CST [General]

    FriendlyMichael and I hung out again this weekend.  I've added some of the pictures we took.  Michael has a brain injury to but his is from a birth defect and he had brain surgery like sometime in the 90's, if I remember right.  I've been having a blast hanging out with him.  We're both supportive of each other and look out for each other.  We've been to powwows and then had dinner and done some traveling together.  I got him a facebook page set up now.  But I'm exhausted from this weekend.  Now that he's found out I'm ticklelious, he loves tickling me.  But that's okay I get him back by tickling him when he starts picking on me.  Saturday I got my dining room table set and made dinner for the two of us.  I've still need to do dishes from that day but I need to wake up first!  LOL  He's my best friend and I love hanging out with him.  I'll post more later.

    Loving Life

    Sunday, June 29, 2008, 10:12 AM CST [General]

    Raise The Roof 2 I had so much fun with Michael yesterday when we attended Kandace's wedding. He got off a little later than he thought he would which was 1pm when he did. Then he stopped at Mickie D's to get us some lunch. He came over after that and we had lunch and visited. Then we got ready for the wedding and headed to my parent's house so he could meet my mom and dad then vice versa also. We were over there for about a hour visiting then we left. We went to the wedding and I took pictures until my battery power died then discovered that apparently I had no power in the rest of the batteries that I thought I had power in! Grrr But at least I got some pictures. I'm going to be charging off the wall this week to get all of my batteries charged so I can take lots of photos at the two powwows I am going with Micheal to this week and the next.

    Bouncy 8 But Michael is coming over today to help me straighten up my apartment. It was fun on the ride to Stillwater because him and I made plans somewhere down the line on Sundays after church and then on Wednesdays since he doesn't work on that day, we're going to get together and go walk around oh I think it's called Boomer lake in Stillwater and then go work out at a gym it doesn't cost to go workout in. But I'm really looking forward to this Wednesday when we're going to spend the day together. He's going to take me out to eat for breakfast and I told him to surprise me and do quite a few other things that day before we go to church in Chandler that night. So needless to say I am a very happy soul right now. Wakka Wakka
