I am here for Friends

About Me

I think I have learned to enjoy life by myself, but I still have lots of fun with my friends around. I stay up late, but enjoy the occassional special early morning adventure. I want to watch more sunsets and have more conversations that last until sunrise. I believe in sarcasm. I drink Jack Daniels. I don't let a long drive keep me from where I want to be. I'm excited about actually living and working in the same place as my love :)

My Interests

Staying at least one class ahead of my students. Being a new happy home-owner (aka. poor person). Experiencing at least a little of what Indy has to offer. That sort of thing.

I'd like to meet:

People who are willing to get to know me. That means you need to send me a message. Tell me about yourself. Ask questions about me. That sort of thing. Or just send me entertaining stories.

Music:

I'm the most non-judgmental person I know. I am also bad at the title/artist game...so I know a lot of music, but can't tell you what it is. In general, I like rock, pop, and classical. I tend to shy away from rap, hip-hop, and country...although, I have heard a lot of country at my bar and have found myself singing about whiskey, beer, and horses. You don't have to like something to appreciate it.

Movies:

I love watching them. Anything programmed on Saturday afternoon on USA will probably get my attention. Action, adventure, slightly cheesy love stories...such as Stealing Home and The Cutting Edge...interest me. I'm willing to pay attention and think things through, but also willing to be swept away.

Television:

Yes, I watch it.

Books:

I value books. I read a ton of books when I was young. When I learned that I should be "doing things," I could no longer lose myself in the fantastical tales of great literature. I am trying to reinvent my book-loving self, but it's been over a year and I'm still reading "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace.

Heroes:

I don't know that I've ever had one. If I had to choose someone, it would be my mom because she is way fabulous, but my dad is pretty great, too.

My Blog

quick stuff

I officially have and have installed IN plates (well, plate actually) on my car. Call me "KZ 889." Thanks to Chris, I am reading Harry Potter 7. Maybe I can continue with this "reading" thing after I ...

Tally Visit

After much "fighting" with NWA, I found a free flight to florida. I'll be in Tally on 10/10-10/13. Sorry, no Saturday night fun, but I'd love to see anyone the other times :)

Myspace ate my blog

Ok, serious, I posted a blog and it is not around. Anyway, it was me rambling about a bad waiter who tried to charge an extra dollar to my debit card. I busted his ass. More importantly, it gave word ...

Caution, this is a little bit gross

Ok, I have a problem. That's the first step, right? To admit you have a problem. Well, here goes...and remember I gave warning...I cannot stop noticing clogged pores. I want people to go to the mirror...

thoughts

as I grade theory papers, I wonder...why have I worked so hard to get a job that will inevitably result in more papers to grade? maybe I'm wrong...perhaps C-flat REALLY IS the leading-tone in D minor....

April 16th

It is not even 9am, but there seems to be several reasons to forget this day forever, but strangely I think those same things will be forever engraved in my memory.Looking out the front door at 6:45am...
