You Are Impressionism
You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways.
You tend to focus on color and movement in art.
For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail.
You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature. What Art Movement Are You?I'm a Neil Young fanatic (and a rock music fan in general), born n' bred in southern California. The years since high school have been eventful ("I've been to Hollywood...I've been to Redwood...I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold", like literally). Now I'm pretty settled as a wife, mom and high school science teacher. My favorite pastime is rock concerts. Although, the high price for the perfect experience often keeps me from seeing everyone I want to see. I've been to over 80 shows since I was 15 years old though, including Neil Young 25 times and The Grateful Dead 25 times. Some of my favorite shows have been Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, U2, and Pink Floyd. My life as a Rustie keeps the spirit alive inside in a very fulfilling way. Rusties absolutely LOVE Neil, but we also gather just because we all have a love for rock n roll. Rust on FTW!! In between the concerts and work I like to hang out with my darling daughter and great husband. We do all kinds of things. My hubby and I also play World of Warcraft! I've got a level 70 dwarf hunter called Blyss and a lvl 60 Warrior called Valoree on the Hyjal server, so if you ever play, send me a tell. Feel free to write me anytime...especially if you're a Rustie. Rusties rule...Rust On!The Guardian

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fans of Neil Young! Teachers. People who like camping, hiking, snow skiing, and traveling. I'm also interested in meeting other people who are adopted and reunited with their birth parents, because I am and it's an interesting topic. But mostly I want to meet people who have a passion for music. People who can understand the line, "And when the music started, she just slipped away...she just slipped awaaaayyy"
You Are 42% Evil
You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.
Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination. How Evil Are You?Heh...Can I help it if I'm so sweet?

Anniversaries and More

So, we did go on our tenth anniversary trip, and it did help balance out the bad week.  We saw Jules, and that in itself took away all thoughts of our life in SoCal.  He hasn't really change...

Neil Young....who is he?

I got this from a Toronto, Canada newspaper site.  It's the most eloquent way I've ever heard somebody state who Neil Young is as an artist.  Students at school are always asking me who Neil...
