About Me


MySpace Ticker
Wow, these "about me" questions really can make your first impression of me either miserable or over rated. I could either sound way too chipper about life, or I could be negative and whine, illustrating a drunken country music song... I mean what a broad question, ABOUT ME!? Well, for starters, I am Janet. I live in a small southern town, Ringgold, GA. (It is a suburb off of Chattanooga TN). I grew up in the suburbs of Birmingham, AL. I have fond memories of that part of the world, Birmingham, where I grew up, it is where I learned to love, party, hate, remain patient, deal with great losses, make enduring friendships, and all the other crap you usually learn where you grew up. Anyway, a time comes where you need to move forward, leave the love for a life you have always known, due to the demons who might never allow you to change. So, here I am today. Who would have known it, I am married to a man who is amazing and strives for my happiness, I have a two year old daughter who captivates me in every way, I look at her and I finally get it, what life was all about this whole time. Nothing wrong that I ever did mattered to me anymore, the minute I laid eyes on her. Then, I have my token character of this typical suburbia tale, my long hair weeny dog, and his name, no other than, "Token." I did once have a great career, if on that same route I would have so many material things! However, luckily for me, I am not a Material Girl, so my new career, of staying home full time with my Belle, was the best career move for me! I mean, how lucky am I to get to see my child daily, play in the dirt, watch cartoons, and make macaroni art, staying in my pajamas all day if I so desire! Anyway, to make a long section shorter, my personality: I am naive in maney ways, I like to call it "Peter Pan Syndrome," I am childlike in many ways, however I am well rounded too, so I am intellgiant in an immature way, I suppose. I am really sweet natured, and it takes A LOT to set me on edge, but I do speak my mind, in a nice-passive way... I am a little crazy, but not enough to warrant meds, maybe in a, "Hey, Call in to work and let's go to Six Flags tomorrow," kind of crazy. I am very positive, sometimes to a fault. I seemingly have this way of floating through life, but, I try not to stress over the small stuff. I have lived in the south my entire life, and I am a true Southern Bell. Anyway, that is "about me." I know it was a bit lengthy, but hey, I was proactive and took care of some of the questions you may have asked.

My Interests

BELLE! She is the air I breathe... She is my heart and my best friend. I never thought a 2 year old could do so much for a wild soul. I am interested in sleeping in daily. I am also interested in people who can hold a decent, mature conversation, with a little sarcasm in between. I like liberal politics. I LOVE political comedy. I like to research current events and pop culture. I also like little pixies, they're fun!

I'd like to meet:

EVERYONE! I love meeting people. I am very much a people person... I admire and love diversity. I get along with so many types of people and diffrent cultures. I love people who dare to be different and strive not to be a product of society. I also hope to run into people I have not been in contact with in a while! So, you want to say hey, say hey, I don't bite... Well, not during the first contact anyway! MY DO NOT DISTURB LIST: Solicitors, no I do not want to sale your merchandise for you, and for those people who lie and get my hopes ALL up and tell me I won an IPOD for forwarding your dumb postings, and I am STILL waiting for my IPOD, or wait, was it a RAZR? Anyway, to all of the people who tell me how much money they made by answering surveys about your love life and food habits, NO I DO NOT WANT TO ANSWER your surveys for money that never comes, and even if it did come, what the hell am I going to do with 3cents????, Save it for a new tank of gas I guess, hell, I refinanced my car the other day for a tank of gas... and GIRLS, I do not want to view you doing dirty things to yourselves, others, or small animals, on your web cams, even if it is for free. Anyway, except for the DO NOT DISTURB disclaimer, I would love to meet you.
TINKERBELL!

Music:

I like all kinds of music, as long as I can easily understand it. Some of my favorite musicians: Stevie Nix, The Who, The Doors, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Allman Brothers, Guns N Roses, Bon Jovi, Ben Folds, E. Fitzgerald, Beatles, and James Taylor. I have an old soul!

a

Movies:

My all time favorite movie is Tombstone... I just love it. I like Gone with the Wind too... I am very versatile, obviously. However, this question is crazy. I have seen a zillion movies in my life, I can not recall my favorites. They were all good in the moment. Some of my other fav. movies would include: Titanic, Blow, The Notebook (SWEET), The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, About Schmit (I think I did not spell it right, but it has Jack Nicholson) ConAir, The Kid, What Lies Beneath, Remember the Titans, John Q (because it is true)... I have more, but those are some to get you started.

a

Television:

Thursday nights are my FAVORITE TV night. I love Ugly Betty and Gray's Anatomy... I want my own McDreamy, HOT, (Yes, Patrick Dempsey is the hottest man alive.) (Oh, besides Collin of course.) I like American Idol and Desperate Housewives too. Against my will I watch A LOT of PBS and Blue's Clues... I even know the SONGS, how sad! Care Bears are pretty cool though. Other than that, I do not watch much TV, drama is depressing and only bad news makes The News, and unless I want to watch reality TV, seeing people's hopes and dreams get shattered, what has TV come to? I miss Road Runner and the original Bat Man, and The Waltons, now they were a nice family! I used to dream of a car like nightrider.

a

Books:

I do not get a lot of time to read like I used to... I like Biographies ( I am currently reading Truman Capote) and Books about current events. I like comedy, I am always up for a laugh, so you know a joke, hit me up! I like High Times articles! I read everyone's bulletins too, sometimes I get worried because they had a timeline to forward and I think they went over the 30 seconds... Funny what people post...

a

Heroes:

Collin... For loving me and putting up with me no matter what, I am a pistol, I know. I also admired my father. He worked 3 jobs to make sure we had the best of the best. May he rest in Peace!
