About Me


You're 70% Irish
You're very Irish, and most likely from Ireland.
(And if you're not, you should be!) How Irish Are You?
If you're a "Family Guy" fan you've probably seen the episode "Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure" where baby Stewie meets his future self. In the future Brian is dead from eating chocolate out of the trashcan and it shows him in Heaven, drinking with Ernest Hemingway, Vincent Van Gogh and Kurt Cobain. When my husband and I saw that episode he looked at me and said "That would be you." I think that's a pretty good nutshell description of me :) I'm married to the coolest guy in the world, he's the yin to my yang. So far we have made one gorgeous, sweet, amazing, genius little boy who's getting smarter and more adorable every day! Just when I think I've seen it all, he surprises me with something new and wonderful. When I became a mom I felt complete for the first time in my life, and I realized the point of it. I'm in school right now, trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I'm just going to go ahead and get my English degree and decide from there. Of course, if I can ever finish one of my million novels that I'm working on that takes care of what I want to do with my life. Sort of. I enjoy driving backroads when I'm angry, or just for fun. I love fairies, crescent moons, and the sun. I like going to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night and riding their bikes. I adore a good book, a good bottle of wine and some peace and quiet. I love looking up into the sky and seeing a million stars splashed across it. I love snowmen. I could spend my whole paycheck on books. I love sitting on my porch on a cool evening with a gentle breeze and listening to the night birds and bugs. I love gardening, the smell of the soil reminds me of the woods back home. When I'm sick I like to curl up on the couch with the blanket I've had since I was a baby and watch "Sweet Home Alabama". I love the ocean, nothing can soothe me quite like it and surfing is the most empowering thing I've ever done. I love coffee and the fresh, bold smell of it filling the house makes me feel cozy and safe. I love shoes, purses and sunglasses and can shop for hours. I love tattoos and piercings, before I joined the Navy (and pregnancy) I had 16 holes in my body and I currently have two tattoos with plans to get more. I also want to get my piercings redone, a few at a time. I'm obsessed with my family tree and insanely proud of my Irish heritage. I love the Southern humidity and the earthy smell of a Virginia mountain summers night; and the brisk, clean coldness of that same Virginia mountain air in the winter. I am totally in love with Angelina Jolie. I love my hometown, though I didn't realize it until I left. I'm very bad about keeping in touch with people, but family and friends are the most important things to me in the world.

Music:



I listen to so many different kinds of things, it's impossible to narrow them down, and I hate the loooooong lists of bands so let me just say there are four bands I will never get tired of- Led Zeppelin, Sublime, Wu-Tang Clan and Dave Matthews. I guess if someone held a gun to my head and said I had to choose a favorite genres I'd say indie rock/Seattle sound/punk. My secret passion is jazz and big band and I like a lot of grime, jungle and bass, hip-hop and Gaelic music. Thank god for iTunes and XM. I don't listen to the radio much lately, it seems like everything sounds the same- that emo, whiny, my mommy and daddy didn't love me enough and this girl I like doesn't like me back kind of thing. I'd love to kill Avril Lavrigne, the other chick like her, and Blink 182 for bringing about the downfall of music.

Movies:

My favorites are probably The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Swingers, A Bronx Tale, Kingdon of Heaven, Gladiator, Big Daddy, Stranger than Fiction, Return to Me, Requiem for a Dream, Moulin Rouge, 300, Prophecy (the Christopher Walken one), Saw, SLC Punk, Sweet Home Alabama, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Boondock Saints, Green Street Hooligans, Gia, Poolhall Junkies, Office Space, Grandma's Boy, Friday, Next Friday, Blow, Am His X, Underworld, Southern Belles, Chicago. Basically, musicals, drug movies, historical movies and anything by Guy Ritchie and Kevin Smith. These are movies I can watch time and again without getting bored of them. I'll also watch anything with Christopher Walken, DeNiro, Adam Sandler, Angelina Jolie, Will Ferrell and Ashley Judd. I love fantasy movies as well and I'll try out anime.

Television:

Law And Order junkie, The Black Donnellys (BRING THEM BACK NBC!!!), Heros, Lost, Entourage, The Sopranos (the ending blew), The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Laguna Beach, The Hills, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Samuri Jack, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Spongebob, Pigglywinks. Usually our TV is now turned to something educational yet colorful and entertaining. Liam rules everything in our house lol.

Books:

Everything ever written. Even if it's bad, the author at least took the time to think it out and write it, and had the balls to get it out there to the public. That deserves automatic admiration, in my opinion. Some of my favorite authors and thinkers are Margaret Mitchell, Robert Jordan, Terry Brooks, Kate Elliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Maeve Binchy, Anne Rice, Christopher Paolini, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoraeu, Thomas Paine, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, Phillipa Gregory, Jane Austen, Jim Butcher, Jennifer Weiner, Jodi Picoult, Laurell K. Hamilton. This is an ever expanding and changing list!

Heroes:

People that try to make a difference, whether it's simply by doing your job or not ignoring the homeless man you just walked by. People who are kind and not afraid to show it. People who stand up for underdogs and for those who can't fight for themselves like children and the elderly. People who fight for what they believe in. The military, the policemen, the firefighters, the volunteers for causes. Animal rights protesters, Earth rights protestors.
