My Interests

I love visiting cities, going to art festivals, seeing plays, dancing to cover bands, and other things that make me sound way more artsy fartsy than I am. I also like anything historical - like ren fests and reenactments and documentaries and tours and picture books. We attend Celebration Church, which has a variety of awesome speakers who always manage to show us how the Bible is relevant to our lives today. I love Women of Faith, theme parks, and road trips.

I'd like to meet:

I used to always ask people that I hadn't seen in a long time, "Have you met my husband yet?" And they'd say "no" and I'd say "me neither, but keep looking for him." But now I have met and married him, and after working in the Christian Music Circuit for a while, I feel it's an honest assessment that I'm not star struck at all. I can't think of anyone I'd like to meet. Oh, other than the guys who invented calculus, and abstract algebra - I would like to have a few words with them and urge them to repent for unleashing such evil into our world.

Music:

If you don't know mute math, you must immediately depart from my page and go aquaint yourselves with the best band of the entire decade, hands down. GO! I've been working with Murray Hill Theatre, one of the nation's premier venues for Christian rock, so naturally that's one of my favorite genre's. Also, I love to hear my husband play the acoustic guitar. (You can hear his stuff under Dorian). Generally, I like old school way more than is cool: smooth r&b, rap back when it was fun and funny, motown, 80's pop, hair bands, disco, southern rock. So, a pitiful list of my fave's: Mute Math, Bernard, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Third Day, Jars of Clay, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Cool Hand Luke, and, of course, Weird Al.

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Space Balls, Ferris Bueler's Day Off, Cars, The Jungle Book.

Television:

The Office, Top Gear, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, The Next Great American Band, Jay Leno, ER, and any historical documentary I can get my hands on.

Books:

Oh yes, I like to read alot. Jacksonville is awesome becuase we have a great library system AND we have Chamblin's, which must be the biggest and best used bookstore on the planet (conveniently 5 minutes from my house). Janet Evonavich (Stephanie Plumb series in which an incompetent bounty hunter in New Jersey gets help from her grandmother), Winston Groom (Only, Forest Gump, Gump & Co), Jan Karon (series where a senior citizen gets married for the first time, adopts really difficult people into his family, and pastors), Dave Barry (Big Trouble, Tricky Business), Olivia Goldsmith (scorned women plot astounding revenge), Phillip Gulley (a quaker pastor's congregation is all nuts), Carl Hiassim (crazy plots of bad guys in Florida getting their due). These are my favorite fiction authors. Then there are important books. The Bible Flags of Our Fathers A Million Pieces The Greatest Generation

Life of Pi

The city is supposed to be reading Life of Pi, which is one of my favorite books ever.  Although several of the first few chapters were totally unneccesary, the ending was just phenomenal.  ...
