About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorOkay, I live in Austin but up until about three years ago I've always lived in small towns. I never realized how much of a country girl I really am until I moved. Yes, it's nice to be able to go out to eat at three in the morning but it's also nice to be able to spend the day driving around on back roads. I have a thing for old trucks and old houses. I just bought a new car which I love but I abuse vehicles way too much and I tear up every time something happens to my little princess. So now I want a beat up old Chevy that can stay dirty and won't mind a few extra dings. Hmm.I moved to Austin to go to school. I'm a criminal justice major, and I should be done before too long. I'm not exactly sure where I want to end up in life, but I know that I won't be happy unless I have a career dedicated to helping people. My grandpa was a school teacher for 40 years, and he is my biggest influence. He just genuinely loved kids, and he had ex-students who stayed in touch with him until he passed away. A lot of them said that he had changed their lives when they were in high school. I want to be able to have that kind of impact on people's lives. Let's see.I'm pretty happy with myself. Although my hugest flaw is that I'm not adventurous enough. I'm very cautious about the way I live my life, and I think that I need to loosen up a bit and allow myself to enjoy things more.Florida Trip...Savannah Trip...

My Interests

Painting, and really pretty much anything having to do with remodeling or interior design. Boys in kilts! Mullet spotting...check out mulletsgalore.com These are the real pros! I do have some tarot cards, but I'm not an expert at figuring them out yet. Hmm...I can't cook, but I always date guys who can. I like to bake though. I make a mean cupcake!

I'd like to meet:

A hot sweaty potato farmer with god like thighs! ..

Music:

Everything except polka...okay it's been brought to my attention that I have also, on occasion, listened to polka. So I guess I like a little of everything. There's a special place in my heart for the girls though...Janis, Bonnie, Aretha and Sarah (McLachlan-not me...I'm tone deaf!)

Movies:

Meet Joe Black, Braveheart, Very Bad Things, Thursday, 2 Girls And A Guy, The Secretary, Love and Basketball, Killing Zoe, Chasing Amy, Virgin Suicides, American Beauty, American History X, The Life of David Gale, Where the Heart Is, Old School, Legends of the Fall, What Dreams May Come, Almost Famous, Far and Away, KIDS, Jesus' Son, Earthly Posessions, Dirty Dancing, Lolita, Girl, Adaptation, Lucky Number Slevin. Any and all Bruce Willis movies. I'd watch that bastard in a nose spray commercial. And yes, The Notebook. Shut up.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, TLC (While You Were Out, Trading Spaces, Property Ladder, Clean Sweep, What Not to Wear,) crappy WB shows (I'm still missing Dawson's Creek! I'm such a nerd!) And can I just say fuck the CW in the neck. They cancelled every decent show that was left on the WB. Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Extreme Homes, Desperate Housewives, Beauty and the Geek (this show has actually made me cry!,) and I don't have cable anymore but I love Queer as Folk
Pets

Books:

Absolutely anything by Tom Robbins. Right now I'm re-reading Another Roadside Attraction. Also Cynthia Heimel's stuff. A friend gave me this book by Susan Jane Gilman for Christmas, Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress, which totally cracked me up. Someone else gave me a self help book as a gag gift a few years back which actually changed my life (I'm so ashamed!!) I have lots of books and magazines on painting and interior design. Mom donated a pretty nice how to collection. I like How To Fix Damn Near Everything. Oh, and this is totally embarassing, but when life is just too much I love to read cheesy romance novels. They're like bubble gum for your brain. I especially like the ones where the couple is running from people who are trying to off them for one reason or another.

Heroes:

I know it's corny, but my grandpa is definitely number one! Besides him, Paige from Trading Spaces. I don't know what happened to her, but I want her old job! Maybe Erin Brockovich-I'd like to pull off having a sensible job and not having to wear sensible shoes. And, she's not my hero, but I'm taping a picture of Natalie Portman's thighs to my refrigerator.Oh, and OTIS!!
