About Me


Amber --
[noun]:
A master blogger
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
"I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, who talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility and dignity but for my fool." - Theodore I. Rubin, MD
I am always cold.
I am an assiduous reader.
The word "slot" makes me laugh more than it should.
I am allergic to MSG and aspartame. They make me numb.
I want a license plate frame that says "I do it better topless"
I don't drive a convertible.
I'm borderline obsessed with celebrity gossip. I actually should probably go into tabloid writing. I'd rock it.
Sometimes when I see those ads that say "are you gay? take this test and find out!" I think "maybe I am!"
I get nostalgic quite often.
I'm always tired.
I change my look constantly.
I like homeless people.
I AM an inamorata.

Books:

I was going to run to my bookshelf to ramble them all off but I really can't bear to type that much. I love anything by David Sedaris. Sylvia Plath was pretty cool. Mere Christianity (CS Lewis) was amazing. Wally Lamb is one of my all time favorite authors. The Lovely Bones is heartbreaking, as well as Lucky, both by Alice Sebold. Icy Sparks was great, about a girl with tourettes. White Oleander still remains a favorite. I love Stephen King. The House of Sand and Fog was not my favorite. Jewel by Bret Lott was pretty good, for an easy read. Anything by Chuck Pahlanuik is good, my favorite was Choke. Text books are usually kind of fun to read, as long as they have gory pictures. I love medical books, like Phantoms in the Brain. That was amazing. I also semi-enjoyed Darwin : The Indelible Stamp: The Evolution of an Idea. I like White Noise by Don DeLillo, it was not the best book I've ever read like Grant promised but it was good. I love love love Augusten Burroughs. Any of his work is amazing. My favorite was probably Dry. But I loved Running with Scissors and Magical Thinking too. Anne Tyler write pretty much the same story in every book but I've still read most of them. I love Female Chauvinist Pigs, the Rise of Raunch Culture by Ariel Levy. Whether you consider yourself a "feminist" or not, you should read it. It's more a comentary on how todays women have shifted their views on what it means to take control of their bodies and how that affects society, especially the feminist movement. I like to read.

Heroes:

Bette Midler. No explanation. She speaks for herself.

And The Wonder Pets. Quite possibly the cutest, sweetest and funniest show on Nick Jr. Please don't ask why I know this.

And Sarah Silverman. I really think she's like my twin but the Jewish version.

I love DJ Lance Rock and the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba!

Dreams really do come true!

Have you ever been so underwhelmed by a situation or entity that you were once so in love with? Because I am. No, I'm still madly in love with Thomas. American Idol has honestly let me down. These pas...

Neil in the sky with Diamonds.

So Neil Diamond was their mentor. Love it! Neil reminds me of my grandma. Not like he, himself, reminds me of her but his music does. Anyway, Britt and Grizz came over to watch with me and we had fun....

Phantom pains.

I really only have a few things to say. First off. What the hell? I am pretty upset about Carly Smithson. She is 1,000,000 times more talented than anyone left. Whatever. The main point I want to make...

I’m pulling up my big girl panties and writing.

Let me start by saying that I am so very sorry for not posting last week. I was just very lazy. I think I got sick because of my laziness. So to battle that laziness, I'm posting a semi-live post. I'm...

Oh Lordy Dolly!
