I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in Amarillo, Texas, with my twin daughters Furie Sioux and Fenix Eden. I have an awesome boyfriend, Mark, that the girls and I like to spend time with whenever we can. I am a student at Amarillo College, where I am trying to get some classes out of the way so that I can enter the nursing program. My goal at this point is to be a registered nurse, preferably working in Neonatal Intensive Care. I briefly considered the Mortuary Science program, as I have a life-long fascination with death culture, but decided I need more LIFE in my life.

Television:

I like all the freaky medical shows on Discovery Health, South Park, Reno 911, The Daily Show, Weeds, Sopranos (except for this last lame-ass season or two), Dexter, House...I LOVED OZ and Six Feet Under when they were on. Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure are my old-school favorites.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is one SICK book - you should definitely check it out! To Catch a Predator by Chris Hansen is creepy and disturbing, but a good thing to read if you have kids that may get online someday... Fast Food Nation, Consuming Kids, Bushwacked, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, Dude Where's My Country, socio-political stuff like that are all good.

Heroes:

My family, Nick Cave...people who have had the crap kicked out of them in life and love and somehow manage to keep on living and loving, instead of turning into bitter, sad, lonely people. I hope to be one of them...

My Blog

Oh my GOD!

I have been reading up on a forum for nursing students, and I knew it was going to be tough, but...man!  Appearantly, I can expect to have ZERO life once I enter the program.  That shouldn't...

Why are kids' videos SO BAD?!  And the music is vile! Why do the people that make these things (and where in the hell do they dig them up??) assume that kids will only watch tripe with sucky...

Furie and Fenix

Man, there's just nothing like having two kids in the hospital in the same week.  Furie was admitted earlier this week with a fever of 105 degrees.  She was later diagnosed with an ear infec...

Kikaha

meant to post this a long time ago. Some of the people who read this will remember Austin's polydactyl cat, Kikaha, better known as 'Ha'. We had to have him put down back in August. He was old, and...

My wasted vote

Well, I yet again wasted my vote last week. This time I wasted it on Kinky Friedman, who I love, but like he was going to beat Rick "The Hair" Perry. I guess I probably should've voted for the Dem, ...

The enigma that is Charo

WHY is Charo a celebrity???? Seriously, does she have a hidden talent I'm unaware of? (Besides the "cuchi cuchi cuchi" thing?) I'm puzzled... That's what I get for watching "I Love the 70s".
