drowning in my convictions....

About Me

What's to say? I used to be more interesting... I'm 22, i work for A&N (our local electric cooperative)and i have an awesome fiance. We started dating 3 years ago and are the best of friends. So we bought a house and got a dog and well I love it. Except i'm a grown up now (ahhhhh!) and it seems like just yesterday i was out going to concerts and being dumb with my friends... but now it's a job and a 401k and monthly mortgage payments. Oh well life is good. And well i'm finally happy...

Television:

i am a loyal adult swim addict. i live for my nightly dose of drama, laughter, and fun. haha i especially love robot chicken, futurama, family guy and aqua teen hunger force. i really like animaniacs, oh and the simpsons of course, but who in their right mind doesn't love the simpsons? i love cartoons, with my 3 nick channels i can pretty much watch spongebob 24 hours a day.i also like old skool nick cartoons such as ah real monsters, roco's modern life, and ren and stimpy. Oh!! and dexter's lab... umm non cartoony... i'm a huge standup fan, i like reno 911, the daily show, the cobert report, food network, the fabulous conan o'brian, THE OFFICE, arrested development(i can't believe they canceled it!), oh and M*A*S*H (i have all of them on DVD) I also really enjoy all of those CSI type shows. yeah i guess that pretty much wraps it up, although im sure there's more im forgetting.

Books:

i love to read. reading is my escape. it's funny sometimes i can't remember whether something i think of was a movie i watched or a book i read, but anyways... on with the books i like.... i'm into a lot of memoirs lately. i like fiction so long as it seems like it could be a true story. i think my fav. book is "running with scissors" that was absolutely brilliant... it's good to follow it up with augustine burrough's other books (i own them all). there's way to many good books to list though... i know i'm a nerd (get over it)

Heroes:

oooooo spiderman for sure!!! i love spiderman. i used to have boxes of spiderman comics under my bed (although now as a "grown up" they've migrated to the attic until i have a better place to store them)
