My Interests

I love to read, sing, listen to music, write, and hang out with my friends. I also love Y.O.U., and even though I graduated, I will continue to love it forever and always. I also love to travel, to other states as well as other coountries. I have to say one of my favorite states happens to be Minnesota, even though I do love my own Ohio as well. My favorite country, other than the U.S. of course, would have to be England, despite the rain thing...START BZOINK.COM SURVEY CODE

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to meet me!

Music:

I like most kinds, from country to classical. Yes, I said I like country. I grew up with it, and you know, I think if some people gave it a chance, they wouldn't hate it quite as much as they think they do. I also grew up with oldies, and until sixth grade I didn't even know there was any other kind of music. Nowadays I listen to pop-rock music though...but when I'm stressed I need some classical to calm me down. Some of my favorite artists are...Garth Brooks, The Beatles, Anna Nalick, Jason Mraz, and many others that would take forever to list.

Movies:

Goodness, where do I even begin? I love the classics, like Gone with the Wind and Breakfast at Tiffany's, but I also like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I love almost all Disney movies...the princess movies are the best. My favorites are probably musicals though...Oklahoma, Chicago, The Music Man, My Fair Lady...I could go on forever. My top five movies would have to be Dirty Dancing, Grease, Dirty Dancing Havanna Nights, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King.

Television:

I don't watch much television, but my favorite shows are Friends, Glimore Girls, and One Tree Hill. My friends are getting me started on Veronica Mars, America's Next Top Model, Smallville, House, Grey's Anatomy, and I'm sure many more to to follow. Lol, I guess I watch more than I thought, but I try not to stay glued to the television 24/7.

Books:

Again, way too many to count, but some of my favorite authors are Meg Cabot, Tamora Pierce, and Janet Evanovich. I mostly read school books during the school year, but I love the Harry Potter books and many other fantasy and romance books. I love to read though, so I read everything!

Heroes:

Not really heros, but more like idols. My mom, my first through eighth grade teacher Ms. Paul, Becca Tisch, Jessy, Pam Carlson, and Michelle Bienieck. But I also know that the things I admire in them are only a reflection of what lies within myself...I just need to find it!
