About Me

I'm the perpetual optimist out of my group of friends. I look on the bright side of things and people. I'm kind and compassionate and very friendly. I tend to think that I am shy, though I hear that isn't true these days. I love to ramble about meaningless off the wall topics, though hate talking about myself. Give me potato chips, Dean's french onion dip and dill pickles paired with some Pinochle, and I would be set for life. I would consider myself an independent person, even more so recently. I learned a lot about myself on my work trip to London, and I continue to learn more about myself every day. I was born and raised in the Chicago area, which is why after college, I moved back home to Chicago. It would be so great if all my friends were here too. That is why we have this project to try to get all our friends to Chicago (you know who you are). Now I live on the North side in Wrigleyville. If you are in the neighborhood, you should give me a shout. I love to sing and dance, though it takes me awhile to warm up to sing in front of you, so don't be offended (again back to the shy part). My friends and family mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them. I think you should live life to the fullest, as you never know what will happen. As some lyrics from RENT say: "There's only us, there's only this, Forget Regret, Or Life Is Yours To Miss. No Other Road, No Other Way, No Day But Today" I edited my profile at Doobix.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!

You're "La Vie Boheme." You like to go out with your friends and have a good time and try to forget about everything that has you down. If you know all the words to this song, then you are a true RENThead.

My Interests

Reading, singing, music, dancing, bowling, taking pictures, scrapbooking, movies, concerts, traveling, playing and watching sports, museums, sleeping, walking, rollerblading, games-both card and board-especially Pinochle, spending quality time with friends and family.

Music:

I like any song that I can sing along to, since I love to sing. Some of my favorite bands include: 30 Seconds to Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas, U2, Shania Twain, Sister Hazel, O.A.R., Dixie Chicks, Coldplay, Five For Fighting, Gavin DeGraw, Pink, Snow Patrol, Keane, The Killers, Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi, the Beatles, John Mayer, Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows, Billy Joel, Elton John, Alanis Morissette, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Jewel, Madonna, and select other songs from assorted artists. Also music from musicals, especially RENT, Wicked, and Les Miserables.

Movies:

I seriously have a million favorite movies!! Some of my favorites include, but are not limited to RENT, Princess Bride, Dirty Dancing, 50 First Dates, the Goonies, For Love Or Money, Clue, Center Stage, Beauty and the Beast, Sneakers, Pretty Woman, Ever After, Adventures in Babysitting, and the Notebook, just to name a few. If the plot sounds good, I will watch it. Though I am not a fan of scary movies, I am trying to overcome that.....

Television:

I like to watch TV, and occasionally I get to watch some of it. Current shows that I love to watch are Law & Order SVU, CSI (the Las Vegas one), ER, Numbers, and my absolute favorite, Grey's Anatomy. I'm also a Friends Fanatic, and like to watch Simpsons.

Books:

Everyone is addicted to something. For me, my addiction is books and reading. I have a stack of books that I have bought and have yet to read. It's rare that I go into a bookstore, where I do not come out with a new book to read. Some of my favorite books right now are the Harry Potter Collection, James Patterson's Number Series (ie. 1st to Die, 2nd Chance, etc), really anything by James Patterson. Dean Koontz is another favorite, as well as Nicholas Sparks. Pretty much if the story sounds good, I will read it.
