About Me

I'm blondish and somewhat blue-eyed. I love to Play!!! I just completed my BA in Cultural Anthropology and minor in English Lit. My goal is to get paid to travel and talk to people.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

I'm a people person; I love meeting new people. I just don't seem to have time for all of them! My good friends know that. =) I work, play soccer, ref soccer, love yoga, love karaoke, love to read, love to dance my ass off!!! and have my "quality time" with family and friends. "Jackie Time" is a necessity that usually involves relaxing or reading. Then I'm up and ready again! I'd like to spend more time at the beach and playing outdoors. I love adventures. Now that I've finished college (finally) I'm ready for the next one.

I'd like to meet:

I really like meeting people... It pays to talk so strangers. =)

Music:

I love all kinds of music, though there are some I prefer over others. Anything I can dance to, or sing along with, really. If I have to pick a favorite artist, it's usually Tori Amos. Other faves: Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Snake River Conspiracy, Bjork, Ani DiFranco, Moulin Rouge soundtrack, Nora Jones, Alanis Morisette, Tegan & Sarah, and I love Karaoke! I don't listen to cd's much; but I love all types of music. I prefer to dance to dancehall, drum & bass, different types of electronica, house, 80's, and some hip hop and top 40- especially if its infused with salsa or reggae.

Movies:

There are too many to list; so I'll go with my traditional fave: The Labyrinth.

Television:

I am so much more productive when I don't watch tv. There are a few shows I love, but I am never around to watch them.

Books:

Joyce Carol Oates - "Blonde", "A Million Little Pieces", "I Know This Much is True", "My Sister's Keeper", anything by Anne Rice, most of Anne McCaffrey's stuff, "The Poisonwood Bible", " Lord of the Rings Trilogy, "Being There", "The Color Purple", "Beloved", most of the Dune series, Harry Potter, "The DaVinci Code", Paulo Coelho I love to read my silly crime, FBI, murder, suspense, and supernatural thrillers too- usually Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham, Michael Crichton, Koontz, etc. There are too many others to name. Something everyone should read: "The Alchemist".

Heroes:

My Mom- for being an inspiration. My Dad- for showing me how to love life. And my big/little sis- because of her strength and strong sense of self.

Warning: Do not read if you get the heebie-jeebies and have to turn off the TV while watching Fear Factor and such. Perhaps it wasn't a cockroach in my bed at all. Perhaps it was just a re...

the soul's discourse

Love is that rare place that provides opportunity for us to bare our souls without fear. It allows us to trust on another human being, to show our imperfections and be accepted wholeheartedly an...

The good, the bad, and the ugly...

I like to start with the bad news first. Get it out of the way. Then you are left with warm fuzzies when you get to the good. Truthfully though, the bad and the good really only apply to m...

The path of self-improvement... getting out of bed in the morning.

I recently returned from my vacation to the East Coast and was rudely hit over the head with "Reality". Initially, it was an adjustment. Monday was surreal. I found that my workplace was filled wit...
