Hi. I’m Colleen.

I had a heart transplant when I was three. Stories of kindness make me cry (case in point, givesmehope.com). Stories of meanness and cruelty make me angry. God’s gift to us is just absolutely amazing. I love life. I don’t understand why people are mean. I find no use in staying angry. I can lick my elbow. I am vegan 110%. I am addicted to photographing nature (though I would never call myself a photographer by any means). I love clouds. I think a new notebook is the best thing ever. I don’t understand why “sliced bread” is so great. I despise laziness. I still set up my American Girl dolls. Peach is the best color to wear. I use weird smileys. =] I tend to be friends with everyone since I want to be friends with everyone. Sodoku and Kenken are the best. Pencils>pens. I am a complete and utter slob. I like people. I don’t dislike many things. I wish I could scrapbook more. I am obsessed with Pride and Prejudice. I drive way too fast and I love my car. I take random road trips frequently. I love painting my nails. I have an old pair of shoes with holes that I refuse to get rid of. I am the sponsor of a 7-year-old named Joa in Congo. I use make-up because I like how blush makes me look smiley. I have a bulletin board outlining my future, dreams, and wishes. Ab workouts just plain feel good. I want to live until I am 82. While this is not probable, I know nothing is impossible through Christ. ♥
