My Interests

Eating exotic and new foods, drinking in moderation, watching movies, playing with my puppies, hanging with friends, keeping in touch, dark chocolate, good pizza, live music, strong coffee, spending time with my hubbie, and planting flowers to make the world a prettier place!

I'd like to meet:

People. Some animals are allowed. However, if I had to choose among the people on this earth I would say: Alanis Morrisette, Hugh Jackman, Viggo Mortensen, Jon Stewart, and Robin Williams. I know, highly unlikely, but a girl can dream.

Music:

Jack Johnson, Van Morrison, Ziggy and Bob Marley, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, & Crosby Stills & Nash, Alanis Morrisette, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Billy Joel, Elton John, The Kinks, Sting, The Beatles, RadioHead, White Stripes, DMB, Queen...and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on...

Movies:

Shakespear In Love, Princess Bride, So I Married An Axe Murderer, The Natural, Amadeus, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Taming of the Shrew, Silence of the Lambs, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, GOONIES

Television:

I am such a dork, but I love Grey's Anatomy. as well as Dexter and Nip/Tuck.

Books:

Currently reading 3 books right now...I work @freakin B&N so it just kinda happens...but right now: "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" which is suprisingly good, "FREAKANOMICS" which is a fun read, but I have had it for almost a year, and "Prom Dates from Hell"- which is a fluffy teen book, but since I am in charge of that section, I figure I should try to read a few of the books from that area!!

Heroes:

Elvis Presley, Eddie Vedder, and anyone who has a tatoo bc I would love to get one, but I am a total chicken shit.

My Blog

School, Barnes & Noble, and teaching kids...

Well, what's new?   School is going well, but it is really tough this semester.  Besides taking ASL 3 class, I have to take linguistics, which is REALLY hard.  Very complex! Barnes...

Coney Island

School is kicking my butt!

I REALLY need to be doing some paper writing now, rather than be on myspace.  In the next 3 weeks, I have to turn in so much crap for school, it is insane.  Granted, you might say that I pro...

Last Monday...our gas was turned off.  Not due to negligence on our part, but because the landlord has not paid the bill since June 2006.  We had no knowledge of this happening, nor did we h...
