I saw fireflies last night

About Me

Hmm... what is there to know? I wouldn't dare use such a tired cliché as "I'm an open book", so I won't. I have my teaching certificate and want to be a high school English teacher. Too bad there just aren't any great-paying teaching jobs in Michigan. So I'll keep chugging along at the corporate job I have now. I hate bad grammar and poor spelling, even though I suffer from a bit of both. I love to read, but rarely finish a book. I'm the busiest person with nothing to do. I think old is better than new. I hate the cold, love the heat, the sun, the ocean (or lake), camping, and just about anything that will physically exhaust me. As for mental exhaustion, it happens without trying, so I don't go looking for it. I love my friends dearly and my family even more- even though sometimes they make me crazy. I'm a sucker for a cute dog in need of a home and cry when I'm happy, mad and sad. Even at toilet paper commercials- go figure. I'm madly afraid of being dependent on someone else and dream of one day not living paycheck to paycheck. Hmm... I love candy but try not to eat or drink any sugar. Don't eat anything that poops, or anything made from something that some how, some way pooped at some time. I love wine. Music makes me happy and I'm proud to be a music snob who thinks that just about everything on the radio stinks- except the same 25 songs heard on classic rock stations. Some day I might go so far as to post a blog, just because I feel guilty for reading everyone else's. Yeah, that's me.

My Interests

Playing guitar, sleeping, gardening, cooking, camping, excercise, trying to figure out how to get rich and what to be when I grow up... and drinking lots and lots of coffee... yeah.

I'd like to meet:

Super-fun rock boys (and girls),Richey Edwards & Mick Ronson or people that don't need "virtual" friends. Alright... them too. Oh! And if you're a band, please don't even consider "friending" me unless it's REAL obvious why I would even be interested in you. If it's not REAL obvious, you best be sending me a message first, 'cause it's not likely that I'll add you.

Music:

Rolling Stones, Ramones, The Clash, The Faces, Hollywood Brats, Otis Redding, Iggy & The Stooges, Wildhearts, The Replacements, Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls, The Dictators, Mott the Hoople, Tom Petty, Rose Tattoo, Teenage Frames, Bounty Hunters, Trash Brats,Ike and Tina, Dogs d'Amour, Joan Jett, Texas Terri, Jayhawks, The Everyothers, Beat Angels, Manic Street Preachers, Abba (yes, Abba), Psychedelic Furs, Diamond Dogs, Motorhead, The Babys, Rockets, Forgotten Rebels, Blondie, Tsar, The Jackson 5, London Choirboys, Motorcycle Boy, Teenage Head, Runaways... You get the point, I'll add more later, this is terribly annoying.

Movies:

A Bronx Tale, Grease, Freeway, Shakes the Clown, In America, and of course... Gimme Shelter- enough said.

Television:

Just a few songs... the rest have yet to grow on me.

Heroes:

My Mom and sister- for real.

Hey, at least I can admit when I’m lost!

Go ahead, laugh that I’m always lost! I’ve managed to drive my way across the country with nothing more than a rough plan and a tattered map.  From Detroit to San Diego and up the Cal...

sick on you

I'm the kind of gal who is mortified by the thought of using a public restroom.  Even at work, where I spend more time awake than I do at my own home, I dread it.  I'm the elusive bathroom g...

What can I say?

I tried.  I can't be faulted for keeping my thoughts to myself... can I?
