I have more Keriness than any other Keri you know

About Me

I'm a senior at UNT, using my National Merit scholarship to pursue honors courses, a major in Logistics, and a minor in Accounting. Between that and my joining an honor fraternity (along with 4 honor societies), you can be assured that my nerdy side remains intact. Of course, numerous crazy nights, a few concerts, a couple of tattoos , and a backpacking trip through Europe later... I'm now married to a wonderful guy named Joe , and we have the cutest, sweetest baby boy. Life just keeps changing on me, but I look forward to everything to come.

My Interests



Most of all, spending time with my beautiful family! Other than that, traveling, partying, going to concerts , dancing and watching dances (especially modern), reading, taking pictures , hanging out with friends, going to sports events, occasionally playing with our XBox/PS2/DS/Wii, collecting anything Disney , getting too attached to every animal I see, learning something new, and spending an unhealthy amount of time on the computer.

I also enjoy the outdoors (minus things that bite), soft blankets, crane machines, white tigers , zebra print, lava lamps, board games, holiday decorations, roller coasters, healthy-ish food, people dressed as cartoon characters, addictive/pointless websites like this... and anything else that's fun and/or shiny ...

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

Depends on my mood... but I guess I'll go with The Crow , The Lord of the Rings, Queen of the Damned, Harry Potter, Serenity , Fight Club, Star Wars, 100 Girls, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, Underworld, Garden State, Baseketball, The Big Lebowski, V for Vendetta, and all Kevin Smith movies. There are definitely times for John Cusack films though, and Bridget Jones's Diary... maybe even a little Dirty Dancing (I'm not ashamed)... And if it's funny or has vampires in it, it's probably a winner.

Television:

Veronica Mars , Family Guy, The Simpsons, Friends, Futurama, all of the cancelled ones written by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly), NHL Dallas Stars games, Scrubs, Lost, Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, and whatever else catches my interest. My guiltiest pleasures include the occasional moments of reality shows (Beauty and the Geek, Girls Next Door), bad dating programs (Elimidate, Next), or the Disney Channel (Boy Meets World reruns, Hannah Montana). Shhh...

Books:

Interview with the Vampire, Ender's Game, Pride and Prejudice, Catcher in the Rye, Dragonriders of Pern series, The Tipping Point, and I'll never be too old for The Chronicles of Narnia (a favorite since 3rd grade) or the Harry Potter series (a more recent addiction)... but now I mostly get to read business textbooks or a one-year-old's picture books... Yeah, Goodnight Moon is becoming a classic.

Heroes:

Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero...
Sports Our little family is very much a Texan one. Go Mavs, Cowboys, Rangers, and (especially) Stars!

Plenty of Doubt

In response to a blog of Koozilla's (which was actually inspired by an even older one of mine), I figured I should update the Gwen situation. Yes, there is a No Doubt reunion planned for next year. ...

I don't remember the last time I got a full night's sleep. Sometime before the spring break? And not even for a cool reason like partying, but because of studying and random insomnia. Then, last nigh...

I am the biggest nerd ever.

Exhibit A: I'm officially going to look like a rainbow at graduation (whenever that may be now). Okay, an oddly colored one of mostly blue and gold, but still. I just got 3 of the cords that I or...
