About

ಌ My names Nikki ಌ I'm 34 yrs old and turn another year older every July 5th. ಌ I always carry a camera, spare batteries, and a book ಌ I love to share my random thoughts. ಌ I'm mostly described as bubbly, bouncy and outgoing. ಌI'm currently taken and happily so ಌ I grew up in Beckley, West Virginia ಌ I get grumpy if I'm thirsty or if I haven't eaten. ಌ I don’t give compliments unless I really mean it. ಌ I'm easily amused so it doesn't take much to make me happy. ಌ I'm the oldest "kid" in my family. I think that kind of accounts for some of my craziness. ಌ I love animals with all of my heart. I don't think I could chose a favorite. ಌ One of my biggest dreams is to be my own boss. I want to become a professional photographer, doing family pictures as well as travel the world doing landscape pictures. ಌ I'm seriously random when it comes to music. ಌ I friggin love playing outdoors! ಌ I love Taco Bell!!! I think it’s amazing in its fakeness. No, I don’t think it’s Mexican food, but I DO think it’s delicious. ಌ I have a really random sense of humor. Things that don't make any sense at all and are totally off the wall, I find completely hilarious. ಌ I love to cook although I am a messy cook. ಌ I swear I have OCD but it only comes out when I'm at work.Otherwise I live in total chaos. ಌ I’m almost always cold. I'm the girl who's outside in 90 degree weather wanting a jacket because she's cold. ಌ I love The Olive Garden and I don’t care if you Italian kids say it’s fake! ಌ I’m a night owl. I always have been and probably always will be. I’m a freaking mess in the morning. I don’t start to function until noon… maybe later. ಌ Procrastination is one of my best talents. Wait until the last minute and it only takes a minute to get it done ಌ I collect anything Nightmare Before Christmas, Marvin the Martian, fairy's and books. ಌ Sitting on a porch swing on a warm summer night is the best. ಌ I love exotic plants/flowers. I would rather get some beautiful, unusual, exotic flower than the typical roses.Just not as gifts... I just don't understand giving flowers that are going to die. ಌ I have to have toilet paper going over the top and not under. I will even change this in someone else's bathroom. ಌ I love make up ಌ I plan on dressing up for Halloween until I die. ಌ Anything with the word cheesecake in it is my favorite dessert. ಌ I'm still afraid of needles even after getting 4 tattoos, I doubt I'll ever fully get over it . ಌ I get excited every time there is a new text message on my cell phone because it makes me feel loved. ಌ I love to laugh, and I laugh even when things aren’t funny just because they weren’t funny and I find that funny. ಌ I have an attention span of about 2 seconds. I get distracted easily and often go off on tangents. ಌ I have absolutely no sense of direction… I think that part of my brain is missing. I still get lost using GPS! ಌ I think that when I am on the road, it's a race to the finish line! ಌ I’m a huge NCIS and Bones fan. ಌ I choose safety over stilettos. ಌ I always have a song stuck in my head. It drives me crazy! ಌ I get the weirdest food cravings all the time and they do not go away until I get what I want. ಌ I hate repetitive and boring jobs. I could only have jobs that are interesting… jobs where you never know what to expect that day and give you funny stories to tell. ಌ I believe cheese is the best addition to anything. ಌ I HATE the winter. I dread it every year. ಌ I love pajamas! It is not unusual for me to crawl into them at 5 pm- if I know I’m home for the night. ಌ I have the craziest dreams. Rarely do I have nightmares but when I do they are very realistic. ಌ Sometimes I hate my life tremendously but the next day I will be bursting with joy haha. ಌ I usually choose the most scenic route when I’m driving alone and not in a hurry. ಌ I link practically every song on the radio to some event in my life. ಌ I say certain words with an accent and I don't notice it unless you point it out. ಌ My favorite character on Sesame Street is Oscar the Grouch. ಌ I hate wrapping presents! Me vrs Tape ~ Tape Wins again! ಌ I have the worst memory ever, so do not rely on me to remember stuff that occurred more than three days ago. I have enough trouble remembering the last three myself. ಌ So this is me

• "The camera always points both ways. In expressing your subject, you also express yourself. - Freeman Patterson A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. - Ansel Adams When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~ Ansel Adams A moment in time ~ sometimes I am in the perfect spot with the camera, ready to capture "a moment in time"...one which hasn't happened before and one which will never be again ~ but it is now visible both in the mind and with your eyes through the magic of photography ~"
