So's your face.

About Me

I'm Chez. Full of good and bad and everything in between, but I'm pretty sure I can make you laugh at least once. And if you get on my good side, I'll do just about anything for you.

"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you...." ---anonymous

There's some things that I regret --- Some words I wish had gone unsaid --- Some starts that had some better endings --- Been some bad times I've been through --- Damage I could not undo --- Some things I wish I could do all over again --- But it don't really matter --- When life gets that much harder --- It makes you that much stronger --- Some pages turned, some bridges burned --- But there were lessons learned --- From every tear that had to fall from my eyes --- From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night --- From every change life has thrown me --- I'm thankful for every break in my heart --- I'm grateful for every scar --- Some pages turned, some bridges burned --- But there were lessons learned --- There's mistakes that I have made --- Some chances I just threw away --- Some roads I never should have taken --- Been some signs I didn't see --- Hearts that I hurt needlessly --- Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend --- But it don't make no difference --- The past can't be rewritten --- You get the life you're given --- Some pages turned, some bridges burned --- But there were lessons learned --- And all the things that break you --- All the things that make you strong --- You can't change the past --- 'Cause it's gone --- You've just gotta move on --- Because it's all lessons learned --- From every tear that had to fall from my eyes --- From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night --- From every change life has thrown me --- I'm thankful for every break in my heart --- I'm grateful for every scar --- Some pages turned, some bridges burned --- But there were lessons learned --- Carrie Underwood, "Lessons Learned"

Rules To Getting Along With Chez
1. Don't show up unexpectedly. For all you know, I haven't showered. And nobody wants to be part of that.

2. If you're going to mock my favorite sports team, do it creatively. This does not include asking me if I'm rooting for the other team when you know better. I can at least respect you if you put some thought into the insult, but if it's the same old shit, you're wasting my time and yours.

3. Don't make me ask important questions twice.

4. Always follow the all-important girl rule of not hitting on one's significant other or love interest. I tried to be relaxed about that in the past, and it bit me in the ass. So now it's just a matter of respecting me and my feelings. If you can't do that, then don't waste my time.

5. Do you have religious/political/any other kind of view? That's nice. But don't shove it down my throat. I'm all for lively discussion, so long as the discussion isn't "This is what I believe and you need to believe it too, otherwise you are WRONG."

6. Don't try to make me drink horrible orange stuff that smells like beer and tastes even worse. That one's directed at you, Winonah. You're still not entirely forgiven for that.

7. You know how I bitch about my family a lot? Yeah, that's because they're MY family. Don't think that because I do it, that means you can do it, too. As soon as you tell me what a bitch my mom is, I'm done with you.

8. Peer pressure works on me.....but it also turns me into a pouting bitch who will have nothing nice to say. Keep that in mind if that's the route you choose to take.

9. I don't always need advice. Sometimes, I just need to vent. Listening to me and saying "I understand how you feel..." is often more helpful than saying "This is what you need to do..."

10. There's not a whole lot that offends me, but keep in mind that I am still a girl and therefore, I'm still sensitive and get my feelings hurt. Probably more than you realize.

MySpace Avatars Lyrics

I'd like to meet:

Friends, friends of friends, so on and so forth. I have a pretty good memory, so chances are, if you've met me and you think I've forgotten you - I haven't. Say hi and find out for sure. I'm a homebody, but I've been told that I'm quite friendly and am always up for a conversation.

Music:

Country, sappy songs, etc.

Movies:

Clerks II, Where The Heart Is, Van Wilder, Empire Records, Super Troopers, Office Space...amongst others.

Television:

One Tree Hill, NCIS, Without a Trace, The Office, Scrubs, the occasional CSI or Law & Order, and of course Notre Dame football.

Books:

The Lovely Bones, Running With Scissors, White Oleander, Prozac Nation, Summer Sisters, and every now and then a good mystery by Mary Higgins Clark or John Saul. And I love magazines.

Heroes:

Winonah LaGrande, spiritual healer of our times. And Steve Irwin, because apparently I'm not "really" Australian if I don't say it.
