About Me

We'll start at the beginning, I was an Air Force brat born in what was then West Germany. I speak German fluently and still have relatives there. I grew up in South Florida and now live in Maine. I have a two year old daughter who is the center of my universe right now. Most of my time and energy go to her. It's worth it. She's the most amazing little critter ever. My partner of almost 16 years and I split work schedules so she's with one of us instead of day care. Anything else you wanna know, ask. I just might tell you. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Stuff and things. Big Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan, Xena Warrior Princess fan and fan of Survivor. I like listening to music, playing with my dogs and hanging out with my three year old daughter. Also a recent Sudoku addict.

I'd like to meet:

In no particular order:William Shakespeare Eleanor Roosevelt Patty Jenkins Amber Benson Stephen King Chipper Jones Joss Whedon Jodie Foster Lucy Lawless Marti Noxon

Music:

My tastes in music are eclectic at best. I could be listening to anything from Seether to SheDaisy to Common Rotation depending on my mood. I like good music. The style is secondary to me if I like what I hear. Right now, I get Dani California stuck in my head a lot cuz I like the tune and goofy lyrics. Tomorrow I could be singing the soundtrack from Once More With Feeling, the musical. Ya never know.

Movies:

Ah, movies. Favorites include Fried Green Tomatoes, Monster, Love Actually, most Disney animated films, anything by Mel Brooks, the Monty Python movies and most Stephen King movies (though I prefer the books)

Television:

Don't watch much TV...when I do I enjoy HEX on BBCAmerica, Survivor, and could watch any episode of Buffy or Xena 800 times and not have it be enough.

Books:

I have even less time to read, but I enjoy Stephen King, Shakespeare (when I'm in the mood for something light), Dan Brown, Chris Golden, Amber Benson and Sue Grafton...I was in a book club before we had our daughter and enjoyed reading a variety of books. I also enjoy comic books (geek alert)

Heroes:

My grandma, my daughter, and anyone brave enough to be themselves.

Laparotomy is not a book of the Bible

An exploratory laparotomy is what I'll be having.  It's abdominal surgery that allows them to go in, spelunk around, take what they need and sew me back up.  I'll be in the hospital a c...
