I am here for Friends

About Me

I am 28 years old, very happily married and a student studying to become a nurse. I am native to Charlotte, have a lovely bassett hound named Belle and a fantastic husband named Lou, who is a banker and also a Charlotte native. I am interested in music and movies. For fun, I spend time with my family and friends and I also enjoy playing the guitar, albeit poorly:) this layout is from whateverlife.com!

My Interests

Stayin so fresh and so clean.

I'd like to meet:

Keith Richards!!!! Dave Letterman, Carla Bruni, Ken Burns, Wes Anderson, Bob Dylan, Valentino Garavani, Bob Weir, Norm McDonald, Oprah, Christopher Walken, The Rza, Bill Murray, Kate Moss, Paula Deen, The Dude, and Click & Clack, and Rupert G!

Music:

In somewhat particular order; Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Maria Callas, Carla Bruni, JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, George Harrison as a solo artist, WuTang, Gram Parsons, Ryan Adams, Bruce, Ronnie Wood, Neil Young, Outkast, The Band, The White Stripes, Al Greene, some Velvet Underground, Kayne West, Radiohead and others. Locally I like Abe Reid and the Spike Drivers and I really enjoy Lenny Federal (and company).

Movies:

Quills, The Royal Tenenbaums, Home Alone, Irreversible, Magnolia, Amadeus, Christmas Vacation, Big Lebowski, Scary Movie 2 and 3, Fargo, Small Time Crooks, Jean Luc Goddard's Symp. for the Devil, Angela's Ashes, The Squid and the Whale, Shopgirl, and PeeWee's Big Adventure! Recently I've seen (and loved!) Apocalypto and the Departed - both are definitely worth sacrificing few hours of your life.

Television:

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!!!!! The Office (nbc and bbc), AFV, Futurama, Bridezillas and sadly, way too many other reality shows!!! I also love Little People Big World, Girls Next Door, Oprah, and some other things that I really have no business watching.The Best of Murray Hewitt
