I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I believe in singing in the car...especially if someone else is looking at you.
I believe in splashing around in the water as the Fluffy Bunnies bake up on the beach being bored.
I believe in good movies...and some not so good ones.
I believe in leaving the AC off and rolling down the windows in the car on a sunny day.
I believe there's nothing quite like a carwash to make you feel better.
I don't believe in Soccer Moms, Mindless Consumers and Yuppies.
I'll think of some more stuff later.... :)

Massive Myspace Layouts collection from Pyzam.com

My Interests

Movies, animals, drawing, reading, NPR, animation, swimming, ballroom dance, hiking, writing, treehouses, travel, boogieboarding/surfing

I'd like to meet:

****Helllloooo...Read Me!! I've gotta tell you, unless I've actually met you or known you, I'm not terribly likely to add you to my friends list. I'm not one of those friend collectors where I'm looking to build up my numbers or anything. It might be one thing if we email back and forth a bit first, I've got a couple friends on here that started like that, but nothing automatic. I'm sure you're very special and whatnot, but if I don't actually know you, I'm not actually able to call you my friend, no offense.**** (okay, I had to actually put that in bold since people must not get it otherwise....) Oh yeah, and please, when emailing, try to sound half way intelligent. Chatspeak and bad spelling do NOT impress me. Urgh.

Fun, weird, creative, intelligent people.
And Jon Stewart! I'm pretty sure this hottie falls into those catagories. On that same note, I think I'd like to meet Dan Aykroyd! I've watched The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters a lot recently, and that he's one of the minds behind some of my favorite movies, I'd love to talk to him.

Heroes:

I wish I could come up with someone all inspirational and meaningful, but I've gotta be shallow and say Robert Rodriguez: the guy any film student would love to become. Read his book sometime.
Oooh! Ellen MacArthur! Same age as me, she solo-sailed around the world in 71 days! I want to sail! Nothing as intense as all that, but still....

A Question to the Grillers Out There...?

I have a new respect for the gang at Nintendo!

The other morning I got up early, went down to Target, and got the Wii Fit to go along with my game system. It is very cool: it's a balance board that weighs you, takes your BMI, and then teaches you ...

Its a Wild Animal, Not a Pet (or Put That Thing Back Outdoors!)

It is no surprise to anyone who knows me that this is my favorite time of year, Spring and Summer (any time with decently warm weather!). With this weather, however, comes a seasonal problem that I, a...

Woke up happy this morning

You don't realize how poorly you've been sleeping until the morning you wake up after a good night's sleep! I woke up this morning actually feeling rested, after my first night with my new mattress. ...

So, does anyone else think...?

...that sometimes God is just trying to make us take a snow day and relax? But humanity is just  too pigheaded to listen? The past couple weeks have been a challenge in West Michigan, weather-wi...
