Bouncy ball is the key to light and happiness

About Me

I have lived in the Austin area for most of my life and wouldn't have it any other way. I have the greatest group of girlfriends (and their fab hubbies) that a person could want. I have worked at a land planning firm for the past 10 years and every day is like a paid vacation (or so we're told...).

My Interests

I read a lot. Watch a lot of TV. Absorb lots of useless entertainment trivia to spout off at random times. Listen to lots o' music and go to some concerts (although not as many as I would like). Cheer for the Longhorns (Hook 'em!). And that's all I can think of...

I'd like to meet:

I've been told my whole life I have a lot of the same traits as my mom's brother Ed who unfortunately died in a Naval crash in 1962. I wish I could have found out for myself.

Music:

Songs I never skip (although I might roll up my window): Soul One, One Simple Thing, American Jesus, Sit Down, Not Sleeping Around, Eaten by the Monster of Love (my theme song), Stutter, Poison, Smoking Her Clothes, Someone’s Calling, God O.D., Made of Stone (808 State remix), Rape Me, Tremelo Song, Gloria, Annie’s Song, The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em Like That Anymore), Flower to Hide, Renegades of Funk, Revenge, Solitary Man, Chump, Alone, Quicksand, Begin the Begin, Billy’s Smart Circus, Pinhead, Split Needles (Alternative Version), Dance With Me, The Swimming Song, Alsatian Cousin, Liberty Song, Don’t Want to Know if You Are Lonely, Strength, Map of the Problematique, Stand Together, Letterbomb, Face Up, John the Revelator, Images of Heaven, If Looks Could Kill, Get Off, Mirror People, I Don’t Want to Fall in Love, Supersonic, Takin’ Retards to the Zoo, Kids in America, Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love, Leaders and Followers, Love Somebody, Behind the Wall of Sleep, Gross Out, Had a Dad, Different Story, You’re All I’ve Got Tonight, Rainy Monday, I’m Leaving You, Bringin’ on the Heartbreak

Television:

Since switching back to cable I now spend much of my time watching the Tennis Channel and Fox Soccer Channel. Yummy yummy soccer boyz... Even better when they're on an HD channel! RIP: Veronica Mars, Alias, Threshold, Invasion, Surface, Firefly, Wonderfalls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Arrested Development, Oz

Books:

I am an e-book junkie (so much easier to carry around a PDA than a hardcover). I read predominately mysteries and thrillers, especially if they're in a series, such as: Michael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman, Faye Kellerman, Patricia Cornwell, JD Robb, Tami Hoag, Sue Grafton, JA Jance. I also read a lot of non-fiction: memoirs, WWII books, true crime, mountain climbing and forensic stories.
