About Me

Another tomorrow,
shedding the shade we made yesterday;
Disguised as the lightning,
dissolving all the thunder...
From Walls of Jericho by Fair to Midland
Darroh Sudderth - Fair to Midland (I heart him)
THE SURFACE:

I'm a fairly down-to-earth girl but only by necessity. I'd rather have my head in the clouds. I'm engaged to a great guy with the wedding coming up soon; we will finally make it official and stop living in sin on August 22, 2008. My kitties are my children, Asia and Zoe. I also have a monster koi named Santiago. I work in IT as a technical specialist in the corporate office for a party supply retailer.
THE CORE:

I love storms, the nastier the better. In my heart lies the soul of a storm chaser.

I love nature- forests, rivers, mountains, oceans... I want to someday live in Oregon, where I can have my two favorite things- mountains and ocean.

I LOVE history, specifically ancient cultures and civilizations. I love Europe, and will someday have the honor to see first hand the emerald isle (Ireland), Britain, Germany, Norway. I love to read, and I love to write. Mainly stories, but if the mood strikes me I'll write some poetry. Most of it's damned depressing though, truth be told. I am a psychotic animal lover. Don't ever let me catch you doing anything remotely harmful to an animal... I might have to kill you. Yes, I am serious.

And don't get me started on the subject of our environment, unless you're ready to enter a political conversation.
THE HONORABLE MENTIONS:

I love red wine. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love the smell of fall. I love snow on christmas eve. Aliens are the only things that seriously freak me out.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

As far as *real* people go:
I love meeting new people. I'm pretty philosophical. I LOVE meeting people who can have intelligent, thought-provoking conversations with me.
Like most human beings I know, I like to meet positive, good hearted people who view life deeper than face value.

As far as generalizations go, I would love to meet *blank* and for the following reasons:
TAPS! My favorite ghost hunters.

Kate - my fav kickin ass girl!

Johnny Depp - so freakin hot. Or maybe I just have a thing for dirty pirates with lots of eye makeup...

People from Ireland - one of my homelands.

Pink Floyd - my all time favorite band.

An alien, to know for sure...

And of course, FAIR TO MIDLAND (even tho I've already met them, they're still wicked cool guys)

Music:

Very eclectic taste... I listen to lot's of different things. I love anything Electronica- Ambient Dance, Trance, Techno, Industrial, Darkwave, Soundscapes, New Age, anything with atmosphere. I like to listen to music and escape within. It's an inspirational force if you know what I mean.
Some of my favorites are:

Fair to Midland
A Perfect Circle
Trentemoller
Hybrid
Rage
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
Jeremy Enigk
Enya
Aphex Twin
Massive Attack

Movies:

Labrynth, Legend, Lord o' Rings, Harry Potter... see the theme?

OTHERS ON MY LIST:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Space Balls Evil Dead 1 & 2 Shaun of the Dead Hot Fuzz Seven Signs

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I LOVE:

Ghost Hunters (TAPS!) House Top Chef LA Ink
Otherwise it's Animal Planet, Discovery, TLC... any of those. And Comedy Central.

Books:

Now here's my obsession!! I read probably WAY too much than I should. My styles are Fantasy, Horror, and Historical Fiction. Although I'll read pretty much anything you give me.
ALL TIME FAVORITES:

Dragon & Unicorn - Arthurian Legend by A.A. Attanasio. Pern Series - Anne McCaffrey. A Song of Ice & Fire series by George R.R. Martin. Love Harry Potter
SOME FAVORITE AUTHORS:

Stephen King George RR Martin Katharine Kerr Anne McCaffrey John Saul Michael Crichton
