About Me

I work in Event Planning and Organization. I graduated from Kansas State University. I spent the last few years in St. Louis, but I just moved far, far away to Nebraska! (Yes, we drive cars here, drink lattes, and type on computers!) I secretly love advice columns, Soduku, LipSmackers, voting for American Idol, and reviewing real estate ads. I publicly love Jameson -- neat (I’ll take two), reading, researching the random, trying new foods, over-sized jewelry, traveling, and music at random. Also, I'm trying to learn to take pictures.

My Interests

Skiing, reading, my dog, walking, walking my dog, writing, art, football, whiskey, baseball, traveling, cooking, exploring Nebraska... This summer, my hobby is learning to grow plants so I have a couple of herbs, some flowers and some houseplants.

I'd like to meet:

Bill & Hilary Clinton, George Clooney, Jon Stewart, Queen Elizabeth, David Sedaris, Exibit, Zach Braff, David DeJesus, Mighty Girl, Sarah B, ... In general: people with whom I'd like to get liquored up and sit at a bar. Someone who knows when you use "myself" and when not to use it.

Music:

Snow Patrol, The Killers, The Subways, Fifth Row Felons, The Strokes, The Ramones, The Clash, Ray Lamontagne, Dresden Dolls, Panic! At the Disco, The Shins, Patrick Park, Mos Def, The Roots, The Pixies, Beck, RHCP, Dar Williams, Liz Phair, ... Mostly an emo junkie right now, but I really like to flash back to when Gwen Stefani wore pants and think about teenage angst with the Veruca Salt, Frogpond, Ben Folds Five, the Violent Femmes, the Verve, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, aka 90's Modern Rock.

Movies:

Boondock Saints, Office Space, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Breakfast Club, Heathers, Pretty in Pink, Clueless, Anchorman, Dodgeball, Bring It On, Little Miss Sunshine, Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Departed, Ocean's 11, Mean Girls, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Saved, and a lot more.I have most recently watched: X-Men: The Last Stand, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Monster, Stranger than Fiction, Spiderman I & II.

Television:

Scrubs, The Office, Project Runway, L&O, Pimp My Ride, The Family Guy, The Daily Show, Big Love, Entourage.

Books:

David Sedaris anything, Chuck Klosterman, Anything in Sociology, Women's studies, really old school mystery books, modern, cheesy mystery books, and probably a lot more if I had time to read. Right now I'm reading _Oblivian_.
