My Interests

Going to concerts and movies or staying home and watching tv. Volleyball, hanging out with friends and architecture.

I'd like to meet:

1. Gwen Stefani, she is my idol. She is such a talented performer with an amazing voice. Yet she stays so humble and considers herself a dork.2. Johnny Depp, ummmmm can you say hottest guy on the planet?


Hosted at MySpaceNow.com

3. Edward Furlong, I was so star struck the first time I met him that I wish I had a second chance to actually speak to him.

Music:

I tend to listen to a wide variety of music, but I absolutely hate country music!!!! Favorites are: No Doubt, GnR, Everclear, Eve 6, Nirvana, 311, Sublime, Better than Ezra, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, The Toadies, Snoop Dogg, Foo Fighters, Ozzy/Black Sabbath, Rob Zombie, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Garbage, Godsmack, Violent Femmes, Joss Stone, TLC, Velvet Revolver, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer, to name a few. And locally, I love Social Hero, and The Outside.

I really enjoy horror, mystery/suspense, comedy and sci-fi movies. Oh and anything with Johnny Depp!!! My favorites are: The Crow, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Terminator 2, Edward Scissorhands, American History X, Finding Neverland, The Aviator, Donnie Brasco, From Hell, Secret Window, Blow, I Heart Huckabees, Love Actually, The Ring, The Others, The Goonies, Wayne's World, Lucas, Dirty Dancing, Pirates of the Carribean, Saw & Saw II - great movies, Green Street Houligans, Chronicles of Narnia, Dave Chapelle's Block Party, Pride and Prejudice, Crash, Van Wilder, Just Friends

Heroes:

My Grandpa, who will be 90yrs old this year. He's takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. He was in WWII, fought at Normandy Beach on D-Day, released Jews from concentration camps, even Aushiwitz. He's been an excellent Grandfather, taking care of me while my mom worked. He's had cancer, 4 heart attacks, multiple surgeries and he's still here, sarcastic as ever!
