I am not the person my Tivo seems to think I am

About Me

Me? I'm a writer at heart and a corporate monkey on the outside...a lover of good books, great movies, the theatre, hot chocolate in front of the fireplace, and anything with four feet & a heartbeat. I teach canine obedience & agility in my spare time. I'm addicted to sudoku, overly analytical, loyal to a fault and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm happily married and my pets are the closest thing to kids that I want for awhile.

My Interests

Creative writing, travel, theatre (try it - a little culture won't kill you), playing piano

I'd like to meet:

Anyone fun and friendly, bonus points if you can properly make the 'wookie' noise. Oh, and anyone who actively celebrates "Festivus", in hopes that I can join in an official "Airing of the Grievances".

Music:

::::go ahead and groan:::: 80's glam (Poison, Bon Jovi, Warrant, Skid Row, etc), Broadway soundtracks - particularly Phantom, CATS, Les Mis, and A Chorus Line ("Okay, Morales, what did YOU feel?"), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty, Alice in Chains, NIN...generally I'll listen to anything but rap or country.

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Dodgeball, The Life of David Gale, Anything Kevin Smith, especially Clerks II ("Wow. That guy's being awfully foward with that donkey"),Tommy Boy, Shrek, The Game...anything that keeps you laughing or guessing til the end.

Television:

My Name is Earl, Desperate Housewives, King of the Hill, and (although it pains me to admit it) Survivor, The Amazing Race, and pretty much any other "reality" TV. In my defense, I have Tivo and severe insomnia.

Books:

Dean Koontz (particularly 'Intensity'), Nicholas Sparks, Stephen King, James Patterson, and cheesy though it may seem: C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Any of the true 'Classics'.

Heroes:

Hero is such a strong word...although I admire anyone that follows their dreams, listens to their heart, and stands tall in this strange world in which we live."If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."
