About Me

I'm a classy, classy broad. Those of you that know me, know this. Those of you who don't, will learn this. I'm of the opinion that 6 things are ALWAYS funny: bums, burps, farts, men getting hit in the crotch, Ralph Wiggum, and things said in a German accent. I get far too excited about television--and next to Penicillin and the tampon, TiVo is Man's Greatest Invention. I watch The Office for Dwight and Heroes for Hiro and Ando. I'm a soy chai tea and Massaman curry addict, but could eat Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches every day. I believe that what you put out into the universe comes back to you eventually, so it's in your best interest not to be an a-hole! I want to die skidding into the grave, knowing I did everything I wanted to do, with absolutely NO regrets.

My Interests

Getting a passport this year and FINALLY seeing all the places I've only read about or seen on the Travel Channel! I'm determined to drink a citron presse in Paris, take my picture with a BeefEater in London, make my own perfume in Grasse, see a fjord or two, see Charles Bridge at Dusk and again at Dawn, and have my ass pinched by an Italian!

I'd like to meet:

Anybody with a funny story to tell or a cupcake to share.

Music:

I'm eclectic...I have a soft spot in my heart for Cole Porter and Standards, old-school country, 1940s Big Band, and 80s Pop!

Movies:

Amelie, Pride & Prejudice, Gold Member, the third Lethal Weapon, but the first Die Hard, Stranger than Fiction (could Will Ferrell BE any cuter?) Grease 2 Grease 2, Goonies, Singing in the Rain, Sixteen Candles (what's a happenin' hot stuff?) and Dirty Dancing (Nobody puts Baby in the corner)

Television:

Anything that has to do with making me laugh or dancing celebrities...what can I say...every girl needs a guilty pleasure and Bruno Tonioli is mine...

Books:

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, Bridget Jones's Diary 1 & 2, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Eleanor Rigby and The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa.

Heroes:

My mom, Megs, Krista and anyone who lives their life without apology.

Anything my son can climb, he will. Railings-check. Kitchen chairs-check. Me-check. The other night he decided to climb up the back of the couch, stand up at the top and jump onto the cush...
