My general interests are life, love and music. In that includes God and ministry because it is through Him that I receive life and love and am allowed to reciprocate that to others through ministry. I have a noisiness about me. Not the "tell me every secret" type but the kind where I tend to stare at people and wonder what is going on with them. Dale says this is a habit he wishes I would get rid of but he does it too. I am interested in seeing my daughter grow up.
I am also interested in the reasons behind a person's need to laugh when they see I believe in God yet I still am compelled to love them. Regardless of another's beliefs I see them as a person and not as some one to mock and ridicule. I think I speak not only for my own beliefs but those of others when I say "We love you..mock, laugh, yell, do whatever you wish...we still love you." It is really simple. I have decided what I will believe and what I will not. Why does that enrage so many? Anyways, I was just thinking. Sue me I know Christians are not supposed to think but follow blindly behind some mystic government plot to subdue the masses...lol. I also like politics.
I'd like to meet:
The cast of the Office, Kermit, Regis and Kelly. I would also like to meet the giant from the movie "Big Fish" and John McCain so I can fling his floppy neck. I have decided that it is time to meet Michael Jackson.
Music:
I like all music. I like Enya to Rage Against the Machine. My music depends on my mood. Check out Ingrid Michaelson,
, Regina Spektor, Iron and Wine,James Iha, and David Gray. Not to forget the ever beautiful Damien Rice. I love punk, real punk not punky foo foo fluff. Metal is my music of preference most days. Old school rap is great. I also like almost anything I hear except useless music with no meaning or too much about "I want you" and stuff like that.
Movies:
The Heathers, Princess Bride, Say Anything, Peter Pan,
Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, Summer Rental, The Goonies, anything with John Candy, I love musicals and mob movies....The list goes on forever. When I was younger I had no idea that cable and satellites existed so we watched a lot of movies. I could never list all the movies I have fallen in love with over the years or I would be forced to make a myspace page just for my movies.
Television:
The Office
And NOW.....Thanks to my husband, I love LOST
Books:
I love just about every book I read. I appreciate the talent that it takes to create a piece of Literature. I do think that a warning label should be added to all books and reading material that is bad or may make you stupid. I do not like books that are sold at the Dollar Store...lol. If you see a biography there don't fall for it. It is not good.
Heroes:
God, My husband Dale, My dad (RIP) My Grandfather John M. Ratliff,My Aunt Glenda, all of the people who saw past the mess and accepted as I was and helped me come to a point of accepting myself,
and one of mine but especially Jill's We miss and love you Michael
