About Me

I think I'm H I L A R I O U S .

I'm simple-minded, but I like complex ideas.

Edit: I AM innocent - just jaded. =]

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. --From Dead Poet's Society

I don't know who said this, but I think it may be my future husband:

Stand to the right of your lady, so your sword hand is free to engage one who would insult her honor; and so your free hand can sweep her backwards as you step forward to defend her, sword drawn.

Laughter is an instant vacation...

Aint THIS the truth, ladies

My Interests

RUNNING. Football. SNOWBOARDING. reading. scrapbooking. hiking. FRIENDS. dancing like no one is watching. artsy fartsy stuff. FAMILY. culture. food. LIFE.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty content with all the people in my life. They're all great people, and I am glad that they are in my life... but like dessert, there's always room for more. =]

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ADDING ME IF I DO NOT KNOW YOU PERSONALLY. THANKS! Don't take it personally, I'm just anti-social...

...unless you're really funny. I like funny people.

My #1 has been replaced... by THE sexiest man alive. His letter to People magazine sold me. Wit and charm goes a long way.

-
Or a guy who can do this because snowboarders make me drool...

I've already met the BEST girlfriends in the world. Beautiful, smart, sweet, caring, thoughtful, FUNNY... I could go on and on... but most of all... They love me for ME. What more can a girl ask for in a friend?

If you only knew what took place BEFORE and AFTER this picture was taken. Let's just say seven girls. One small hotel room. *wink* *wink* =]

Music:

I'm a sucker for romantic and sweet lyrics... but don't be fooled. I'm also a sucker for great beats with dirty lyrics. haha!

Movies:

The Notebook. Ryan Gosling. YUMMY.

Seriously, how cute are they?

Phantom of the Opera. My Sassy Girl. Snatch: The only movie that made me literally LAUGH OUT LOUD in the theater. I think dry humor is HILARIOUS.

Television:

Sex and the City. Eventhough it's on syndication, it's still the best show on TV.

And OPRAH. Don't judge me. She's good...

Books:

Memoirs of a Geisha and The Unwanted.

But this is still the best book ever:

Heroes:

My Lola (Grandma). I hope to have her inner peace one day.

My Blog

The Search for Real

I want the real thing, and I realize my previous habits are not conducive to manifesting it.
