I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a pretty strange individual. I like to think I'm the good kind of crazy, but who knows. I teach pole fitness at Studio Soiree in Sugar House. Currently that is my only job, but I can't emphasize how much I LOVE IT!!! Last year my husband passed away. The experience of Dan's death has really forced me to examine myself and define who I am as a person. Overall I would say I'm just a young bug out to experience life and all there is to offer. I believe people as a whole are generally good. I'm very open minded but have a really low tolerance for stupid people. I come off a little intimidating and rough around the edges, but once you get to know me I open up. I'm constantly learning about new things and even trying a few of them on occasion. I admit I'm a little offbeat, but I like it that way. I believe that a person should be original, and whatever they choose to do, they should do it well.

My Interests

Pole dancing!!! (It's my new found love in life:)I love learning about eastern philosophy/religions. I love to learn about sociology and why people do what they do. I love sleeping in on the weekends. I love to read and have an alter-ego the loves to write. I'm a celebrity gossip junkie- I love watching shows like ET and Access Hollywood when I do watch tv (I don't have network or cable tv in my house.) I also love watching anything that has to do with serial killers and things like forensic files. I love going to movies and searching the internet reading everything and nothing in particular all at the same time.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has an open mind and thinks they can put up with my crazy antics without being dramatic.

Music:

Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, House music, hip hop every once in a while, pretty much any alternative music, chanting monks... I like all types of music so there are way too many to list here.

Movies:

The Shawshank Redemption, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Elephant Man, Silence of the Lambs, K-Pax, The Girl Next Door, Bad News Bears, Serenity, Almost Famous.... Really I have way too many to list here- I own hundreds of dvds.

Television:

Since I moved into my house in December, I don't have tv hooked up. But when I do get a chance to watch I like Access Hollywood,The Apprentice, Boston Legal, The Girls Next Door... I'm sure there's more but I haven't watched in so long I don't really know right now.

Books:

The Renaissance Soul, The Tao of Pooh, The Te of Piglet, The Tao of Zen, How to be a Great Lover, Conversations with God, Rhymns of Mine (by my Grandmother)

Heroes:

Dan. I watched him go through adversity every day and never complain about it. He was always saying his problems were nothing compared to what other people have to go through.

My Blog

happy blog.

So I came to the realization that I never really post happy blogs. I attribute this to different things, but mainly because I don't have any real access to myspace except for my parents house, and I a...

Missing You (~Jem)

Hmm.... was listening to this song the other day. Decided it maybe portrayed how I felt that day (and other days of late.) Anyway, I had an awesome blog I wrote at work to go with it, but myspace is b...

Hotel California

"Welcome to the Hotel California....." Was listening to my ipod (really Dan's ipod) today at the end of work. The songs were on shuffle. Hotel California started and my mind was flooded with memories ...

She's baaaaack!

Angry Lorinda is back. Irritated, disgusted, snappy, double scrooge Lorinda is back! I just want to smack people who talk to me. Especially stupid ones at work. We moved offices this past weekend, and...

Another day

Did I mention I hate the holidays? I have never really grasped on to the holidays and fell in love with them like other people. As much as I do love the energy they bring to people, I just don't under...

Maybe I found my canine soul mate?

My dog likes lemons. It seems just about as much as I do. I like to eat them cut up with salt on them. Tonight I was eating on and he started licking my fingers. Now, up until now the only food I have...

My doggie

Is the funniest thing ever! He LOVES the plastic caps that come on water bottles and whines when I'm drinking water because he wants me to give him to cap to play with. When he finally does get the ca...

numb

I think I've gone back to feeling numb. I mean, sometimes I get emotional, but for whatever reason these last couple days I've just been numb. Seems to me when things happen that are supposed to make ...

Thoughts.

I thought about Dan a lot today. Not necessarily sad thoughts. He just sat on my mind. I have several pictures of him at work. And even though one is my wallpaper on my computer, I moved another one i...

Feeling strange....

Wow! What an emotional week. Filled with a lot of ups and downs, mostly downs. I miss Dan so much, and finally I just broke. I told my work I would like to step down from the promotion they had given ...
