About Me



I graduated from Madonna U in May '05 with an English major and an Elementary Ed minor, but I plan on going back for my Masters as soon as I can afford it. I am currently a server, but I desperately need a real job so I can afford grad school. I plan on going into a career involving my English major. I just haven't figured out exactly what yet. I love books, movies, and music. If you want to find out anything else you'll just have to talk to me.

My Interests

I love to read, hence the English major! I love all kinds of books, mostly fiction, memoirs, and poetry though. I also love to write occasionally, when the mood strikes. If I didn't have to work so hard to make money, I think I'd like to try my hand at writing a book or something. Maybe someday. I'm an impeccable speller. I love rollerblading, swimming, biking, snowboarding, skiing, and just being outside in general. I love vodka tonics, red wine, dark chocolate, and sushi. I hate jello, bananas, raisins, and tomatoes. I can't roll my tongue. I love playing cards, karaoke, playing pool, playing trivia and drinking beer at the bar, or drinking beer anywhere lol, acting SILLY, dancing, going on road rallies, watching bad horror movies while drinking and then making fun of them, and just having fun with my friends.

I'd like to meet:

Patti LuPone, Amanda Bynes, and anybody named Paula. And don't forget...

Music:

I'm a HUGE fan of music, except I'm not big on rap and country. None of that crap. My favorite band is probably Led Zeppelin, but I also like Aimee Mann, Amy Winehouse, Ani DiFranco, Arcade Fire, Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Ben Folds Five, Ben Kweller, Ben Lee, Billie Holiday, Billy Joel, Bjork, Bloc Party, Bob Dylan, Brandi Carlile, Broken Social Scene, The Cardigans, Cat Power, Cat Stevens, Coldplay, The Cranberries, Crazy Flying Giants, Damien Rice, DMB, Debussy, The Decemberists, Depeche Mode, Dixie Chicks, The Doors, The Doves, Dresden Dolls, Earlimart,Edith Piaf, Esthero, Feist, Fleetwood Mac, Frou Frou, Garbage, Goldfrapp, The Gossip, Green Day, Imogen Heap, Interpol, Jack Johnson, Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Joss Stone, Keane, The Killers, Ladytron, Leona Naess, Lisa Loeb, Liz Phair, Madeleine Peyroux, Maria Taylor, Mates of State, Michelle Branch, Modest Mouse, Neko Case, Nelly Furtado, Nirvana, Norah Jones, OLP, Patrick Watson, Pete Yorn, Pink Floyd, The Pixies, PJ Harvey, Placebo, Poe, The Postal Service, Queen, Rachael Yamagata, Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Scissor Sisters, The Shins, Simon and Garfunkel, Sleater-Kinney, Smashing Pumpkins, Snow Patrol, The Strokes, Sufjan Stevens, Tears for Fears, Tegan and Sara, Tom Petty, Tori Amos, Unkle, Weezer, White Stripes, The Who, The Wreckers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 80's music, classical, and anything classic rock or alternative. The list could go on forever. I really listen to everything under the sun.

Movies:

I love movies almost as much as I love music. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is my all time favorite. I'm always in the mood to watch it and it makes me laugh every time. I like a lot of different movies. So if you have any recommendations, let me know.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Ugly Betty, Boston Legal, Weeds, The L Word, Sex and the City, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law and Order, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Golden Girls, SNL, Mad TV, Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and anything on the Food Network.

Books:

All of them! I've read a lot and I'm always interested in reading more. If you have a suggestion, let me know!

Heroes:

Du bist mein Vorbilder.

It's snowing today and I don't approve.  When I returned from Hawaii I was under the impression that I would not have to experience snow ever again, or at least not until after I move.  Then...

So I'll be moving out of Michigan come June when my lease is up.  So start saving up your money now because I will be expecting visitors on a regular basis. That's all for now.
