Well, if you read the rest of this page here, you'll find out more than even I know about me. But anything you want to know that isn't somewhere on here, just ask.

My Interests

I like lots of different things. I love the theatre, gaming, movies, music, television, doll collecting, genealogy, reading, blogging, working or playing on my computer, volunteering at the school where I work, and spending time with my family and friends. Currently working on a screenplay.

I'd like to meet:

open-minded people from different places around the world. Specifics...Kevin Smith, Matt Damon, Joss Whedon, George Lucas, Emma Thompson, geniuses of the film industry I could watch work in person.

Music:

I love most every sort of music - from dance to metal, from classical to punk.

Movies:



Which Kevin Smith Movie Are You? by jennablue! Same as music, I love lots of movies. Pretty much anything but gory horror. Some of my favorite movies have been 12 Monkeys, Star Wars (all of them), Star Trek (all), all John Hughes movies, every single Kevin Smith movie - especially the Jersey series, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Serenity, Interview with a Vampire and most of Brad Pitt's movies, If These Walls Could Talk II, But I'm A Cheerleader, Noises Off, Somewhere in Time, But I'm a Cheerleader, Moulin Rouge, A League of their Own, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Eight Men Out, anything with Christian Slater, Chicago, Mel Gibson's Hamlet, and many more I can't think of right this second. Have to add Pursuit of Happyness. Just saw it the other day and it was EXCELLENT! Watching films is like my second job. Damn, I wish it was my first.

Television:

This season's watching consists of Heroes, Jericho, Buffy tVS, Angel, & Firefly on DVD, Ugly Betty, 4400, How I Met Your Mother, The Class (stellar!!), Life on Mars, Star Trek (all incarnations), Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Project Runway (guilty pleasure), Eureka, Good Eats, Doctor Who, random shows on REELZ, History International, History Channel, Travel Channel, Discover, NGC, Biography, and others. Tivo is my favorite invention after the computer.

Books:

Currently into Diana Gabaldon. Thanks to my friend Stacey for introducing me to such a great writer! Also like a lot of sci-fi and young adult books. Right now reading the Doctor Who books based on the series, Robert Ludlum's Bourne series, also very much like John Christopher, Norma Fox Mazer, J.K. Rowling, Cynthia Voigt, Orson Scott Card, Douglas Adams, and so on.

Heroes:

My parents. It's a stock answer, I know, but it's true.

Those who follow their dreams, no matter what obstacles get in the way. For example, Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith. For the courage of their convictions, no matter how strange those convictions may be!
