About Me

A lot of people have really nice, interesting bio's and I tend to lack in that area.

I'm currently a Civil Servant for the City of Apopka and I really enjoy my job...most of the time. Long story...we'll discuss over coffee. I wouldn't mind being a commissioner one day. Oh, and I passed my CDL exam which means I can legally drive a bus. Kristi...a bus driver. That's kind of freaky. Watch out!!I'm a lifelong Floridian and I really love it here. I'm addicted to the themeparks. I like having the Gulf and the Atlantic so close to home. Orlando isn't what it should be right now but it'll come around. I raced BMX bikes when I was little so I have an affinity for Vans. If you ever come across a pair of the black, red and white checkerboard style, let me know! I reminisce back to my childhood a lot. Basically because I had (and still have) such an amazing life...my family means everything to me. I love the Muppets. Jim Henson was a brilliant man. I used to watch the Great Space Coaster after school and I adore Gary Gnu. If I know that you're about my age or if you're a guy I'm interested in, I'll typically ask you if you know who Gary Gnu is. I don't know why. My favorite "dining" establishment is Krispy Kreme (Beto's is a super close second) and this also stems from a childhood memory. Oh, FYI: I like the chocolate iced, custard filled donuts the best! I'm not a movie buff but I do enjoy going to the movies. I fall asleep during just about every movie I rent. That's rather sad. I love music and used to be a diehard supporter of the local music scene. On any given night you could catch me hanging out at the Sapphire, Barbarella, Embassy, Wills (RIP-way back before they had the music room) or The Mill and watching bands like GumWrapper Curb, Mighty Joe Plum, Cluj, My Friend Steve and Lyme play. Spot Lucy (the former Greed Engine) was/is over in Tampa and Noahs Red Tattoo, Subrosa and bloom. were in Gainesville. Pulling Birds--we're not Sebastian Bach!! Remember the Covered Dish? Those were the glory days of rock!! Eating 5 Star Pizza out on the patio~sigh. My favorite flower is the tulip. I'm a graphic t-shirt fiend and should really dress up more (I'm trying really hard to be a girly girl). I want to master Photoshop but I don't play with the program nearly enough anymore. I like, Jai Alai, hockey, football (Go Bucs) and live basketball games and I'm terribly upset that Martin Gramatica is no longer playing in the NFL--wait, he's back!! If I owned a Rooke Customs, I'd learn to ride a motorcycle. I love lizards, squirrels, my bird, Kellar, and my dogs, Anisse and Randi. They rock like no other :) Did I mention I have a Warhammer 40k team? I probably shouldn't ;)In closing, I'm a dork. That pretty much covers it :) The fact that you have read this is pretty amazing!

I'd like to meet:

Music:

For Squirrels, Placebo, Brand New, Samiam, The Smiths, Vast, Val Emmich, Nada Surf, Gin Blossoms, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, Kevin Montgomery, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Goldfrapp, bloom., Mashlin (The Exit Radio), Rob Dickinson, Flogging Molly, Reel Big Fish, Ash (from Ireland), Local H, Better Than Ezra, Lucia, Orbit, Black Lab, Interpol, The Violent Femmes, Hollywood Beach Brian, Subrosa, Reggie and the Full Effect, The Cure, Filter, The Black Rabbits, Fallen From the Sky, The Thumbs, GumWrapper Curb, Mighty Joe Plum, Noah's Red Tattoo, Stabbing Westward, Sponge, The Doors...and my favorite song is Black Metallic by Catherine Wheel so go figure that one! I also think the soundtrack of the film Donnie Darko is quite amazing...The Church ("Under the Milky Way" is my second favorite song), Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, INXS...good stuff. Oh, and I have a thing for Gretsch guitars, Vox amps and the men who play them ;)

Movies:

Mystery Alaska, Star Wars (A New Hope was the best), The Crow (I love everything about this film), Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, Batman Begins, The Replacements, Shrek, Singles ("Have fun, stay single"), Velvet Goldmine, Heathers ("Corn Nuts!"), My Big Fat Greek Wedding, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (a guilty pleasure), A Knights Tale, 16 Candles, Angus, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Big Fish, The Lost Boys, The Worlds Fastest Indian, Shaun of the Dead, The Hannibal series of films, Shining Through, The Godfather, Sin City, V for Vendetta, any type of good horror film and stuff like Braveheart, The Gladiator, The Patriot and King Arthur. 300 was stunning. I also go to see a lot of Sci-Fi flicks with my dad and Mary. Resident Evil is a favorite of ours. Basically, if the film has zombies or vampires, that's a good thing. Films involving stalkers rock my world. Seriously! Too bad most of them suck. I did buy The Watcher, however. Not the best flick but I kind of like the idea of being stalked by Keanu Reeves :)

Oh, and remember, "Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart!"

Television:

Picket Fences, Northern Exposure, The Adventures of Pete and Pete (Mary bought me Seasons 1 and 2 for my birthday), Fraggle Rock, The Muppet Show, PowerPuff Girls, Futurerama, The Great Space Coaster, Eerie Indiana, The Simpsons, Southpark ("It's okay to like Southpark because God has a sense of humor."--the best quote a friend ever gave me), King of the Hill (best theme song--ever!!), Alf, Dungeons and Dragons. I don't know. I watched Desperate Housewives and House for a while. Both great shows but I always miss them. I like the Food Network (Alton Brown NOT Rachel Ray). Travel Network--especially when they showcase themeparks. History, Discovery, Science, Cartoon, Style...all good. Bravo (Project Runway, Queer Eye). I love "The Alternative" on VH1 Classic. Guess that would fall under music though. Biker Build-Off...amazing show!!! Reno 911. Is it football season yet? I'll be watching the Bucs. I despise those E-Harmony commercials. They drive me insane!! I love the Vonage spots though. Catchiest music in a commercial!

Books:

"The Big Book of Porn-A Penetrating Look at the World of Dirty Movies," of course. Oh, and "The Worst Band in the Universe" by Graeme Base. Yes, my favorite book is a children's book. It's amazing. The whole thing rhymes. At one point I thought I'd like to write a children's book and then I read this. Now I know how truly bad I suck. I also love The Crow graphic novel and The Crow comic series. Archie comics. Go Jughead!! Stephen King. Oscar Wilde. Poe. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Stuff on astrology. Naomi let me borrow her copy of "He's Just Not that into You". Torrey used to buy me books for my birthday. I've read Ann Coulter's, "Treason" but I never made it through the first chapter of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". I need to read more. I'm finishing up Ayn Rand's "Anthem" which is truly amazing. Now I think I may be ready for "Atlas Shrugged".

Heroes:

My Great Grandma Mary and my Great Granny Molly. Oh, and these two sexy ladies in the photo with me :)

Hooray for me!! I'm finally one of Torrey's girls!!
