I laugh when people take their own picture so I had to do it!

About Me

I'm a fun lovin', tree huggin' republican. I love to laugh and I care about the environment. Just in case people think I am a contradiction let me clue you in on what a republican stands for. Less government which means less money coming out of the tax payers' pocket to be wasted. Wow I sound bitter...did I mention I was fun? In addition, it is the party that supports working smarter versus redistribution of wealth. Actually most of my family are democrats so holidays are always interesting. But different points of view are the spice of life!I don't care what you drive, how much you make, nor who you know. Chances are you are full of it anyway. Superficial people need friends too it just won't be me. I'm the first one to laugh at something goofy I've said or done; and I surround myself with people who don't take things too seriously. We all have insecurities so why pretend. I'm spiritual but not religious. Religion is the rules and I don't like rules unless they're my own :) I have three degrees-finance, accounting, and psychology from the University of Wyoming "GO POKES" I was a bank examiner for several years until poking my eyes out with a hot dagger seemed enticing. So I decided to get my psychology degree because I wanted to help others. I worked with underprivileged kids. They were great but the parents were difficult at times. I shortly realized that many of the social programs have little to no relevance to the individuals they try to help. I am now pursuing a graduate degree in epidemiology and biostatistics. My dream is to be a professor, conduct health research, and live by the beach. I love the water yet fear drowning...figure that one out.

My Interests

Photography (I feel more comfortable behind the camera than in front plus almost everyone I know takes lousy pictures), cooking (I love healthy organic food but I do eat some crap), reading (just about anything), exercising (When I'm 50, I too plan on looking like the lady from the Bowflex commercial), boating/water sports (I like to watch other people fly through the air while I'm on the boat), traveling (I want to see everything before I die), snow skiing and hockey (what kind of Alaskan would I be if I didn't?). I am more of a dilettante so I constantly have new interests.

I'd like to meet:

This site is for friends and family so no freakin' pervs allowed. There will be no pictures of me or my friends wearing skirts with no underwear getting out of cars or sprawling across kitchen counters. Also, you will not see any family photos because they have forbidden me to post pictures of them. They say they want to protect their privacy but I think they don't want everyone to know what true party animals they are. Only the resort locals are privy to their drunken rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Music:

I like almost everything but rap and screaming hard metal. If the lead singer is screaming and profusely spitting, you can't really relate to the lyrics.

Movies:

Where do I began. I am a movie junky. There is nothing better than snuggling on the couch with a blanket and popcorn on a cold rainy day to watch a movie. Well there are a couple of things better to do on a rainy day but my site is PG. I like Groundhog Day, The Wedding Singer, Click, The Notebook, Titanic, Officer and a Gentleman, Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, Terminator Trilogy, and Star Wars. I am always up for a Sci-Fi flick. Many of our technolgy is created from the minds of sci-fi authors. I also like a good drama. I just saw The Departed and it was fabulous. Usually I can predict exactly what is going to happen but not that movie.

Television:

Lost, The Office, My Name is Earl, Battlestar Galactica, 4400, The Dead Zone, House, and South Park. My guilty indulgence is The Bachelor. I love watching educated women fighting over some guy they don't know. Some people may view TV as a waste of time but I've learned many valuable lessons from it. For example, I don't ever go outside to investigate a strange noise and then announce my presence by saying who's there. That scenario never seems to end well.

Books:

I love the classics. I believe I have read almost all of them during summers growing up at the lake or sunning on my deck. And what female doesn't like a good romance like "The Notebook" or "Pride and Prejudice". We women must read what non-fictional men lack. In addition, I do have to admit I like Harry Potter.

Heroes:

Any individual who does what is right and fair.
