My Interests

hanging out with friends, movies, music, seeing my nieces, shopping, the typical stuff. ..WOW! This takes unbelievable amount of dedication and work you have NO idea how amazed i am with this.and this as well i love this song. being irish it kind of makes me want to visit Ireland and see exactly what the song is describing.

I'd like to meet:

Too many people to name, I've already met a lot of people through my dad and stuff (famous people bands and such) and all that good jazz. but as far as anyone currently famous, thats just way too long a list to make right now.

Music:

i'm what you call "versatile" in this area. i dont like hardcore Rap (though I do like some hip hop, it gets me moving) i dont like grunge (the stuff that sounds like they are swallowing the microphone) but i like all kinds of stuff, just ask.80's music especially hair bands stuff (im old fashioned) BSB (yeah yeah make fun of me if you want but i'm devoted) i like Cobalt Core (my friends' band) and i am an avid country fan. i know a bit of an odd mix but it works for me. theres more too, just ask. ..
