About Me


Favorite quote: "At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared; some are coming home; some tell lies to make it through the day; others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one." - One Tree Hill
I am:
Hi. My name is (some of you may know me as Sheri-Ellen) and I am a twenty-five year old female from Phoenix, Arizona (yeah .. I know .. a native? Get over it!) My birthday is August 4, 1982 (why, what are ya gettin me?) For those of you astrology buffs, that does make me a =) And .. I am the *CLASSIC* Leo. I am Italian I am *VERY* proud of my heritage. I'm a student at Phoenix College currently pursuing a degree in RHIM/RHIT (Registered Health Information Management/Technology .. AKA: medical billing & coding.) I currently work for the benefits administration company for the Department of Defense (and yes, I COMPLETELY support our troops).
I LOVE spending time with my family. As you'll come to find out, I'm an EXTREMELY loyal person, and I am VERY family oriented. Blood is so much thicker than water. Mom, Dad, Dani, Tammy, Jay & my animals (OF COURSE MY ANIMALS COUNT! They're my KIDS!) - I love you all so very much!
To my oldest sis (Hi ): You are my best friend in the world and I am SO lucky to have you! Dani ... God made us sisters and love made us best friends! Glad it was YOU.
To my middle sis: (Tammy!!!): You're SUCH a friggin nut, but .. you're hilarious and I love you for it! You always make me laugh! "Creammmmmmmmmmmmmmy Creamy cheese"
I am a *HUGE* animal lover. I have a male Golden Retriever named Copper (ok .. I'm a Disney fan too .. the cat is out of the bag!)(Fox & The Hound). And now for the little terrors: I have two cocker spaniels .. Gina (my husband named her .. don't ask .. NOT Disney) .. Tramp (duh .. Lady & the Tramp ringin a bell?)! They are my life and I couldn't live without them! I also have a fat cat named Meistro (Pinnochio). He's a funny lil guy! I guess you could say that I'll probably be one of the 90 year old ladies that has 643891241896491832 animals running around. But, I'll be lovin every minute of it!
In order: Copper, Gina, Tramp and Meistro
This one goes out to Jason, my husband, my soul mate and the love of my life - you are absolutely amazing and I love you more than words could ever express. I am extremely lucky to have you in my life. =) No one else could tolerate me the way you do. ;) Jason, siete la mia passione ed il mio futuro. Ti amo. =) Oh .. and Jay?
You are the Empress card. The Empress is the archetype of the Mother. She creates and nurtures life. She represents the abundance of Mother Earth. The Empress is capable of using nature in a productive way. She espouses art for art's sake. Her planet is Venus, and she embodies love of beauty and a strong value system. Here is also found initial sensation. This is the first really physical experience of the world that The Fool has entered. The Empress has a rich understanding of the world based on her five senses. In a reading, The Empress represents pregnancy, actual or metaphorical. She indicates an act of creation and a sensual experience of beauty. The Empress is a nurturing force that wishes to see the product of her experiences reach the next stage of development.
K .. I found this kind of neat .. so ... here it is:
You Are a Peacemaker Soul
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.
While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a great sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
Interesting tidbids ... Sheri is derived from the French word "Sherry" for wine ... "The name Sheri gives you a strongly independent and highly creative nature, with drive and ambition to have experiences and accomplish things out of the ordinary and on your own. You can work intently at whatever is new and holds your interest at the moment, but your interest wanes quickly when drudgery and monotony set in. Obstacles to your progress or restrictions on your freedom to act create a sense of frustration which may cause you to feel resentful and even rebellious. You can then become intolerant of others, and caustic and belittling in your expression, thereby imposing stress on your personal relationships. You have a clever, quick, capable mind.
The name Ellen originates from the Greek name ‘Helene’ which means "bright, light or pleasure." The mother of the Emperor Constantine bore this name. She is known for building many churches in the Holy Land."
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
Animals, Family, Dancing, Trust, Passion, RESPECT, Stability, Intelligence, Honesty, Reese's Pieces, Sarcasm, a really witty sense of humor, Maturity, Sex, Music, Learning, Sharing, Arrogance & people with an ego (yup .. I actually LIKE that .. to a point) .. Non-Conformists, Knowing how to let go, Open-minded people .. I like people who think OUTSIDE the box. Italian food (and Italian men ... good gawd they're hot!). I love volleyball .. especially when hot (Italian) men play it with their shirts off. WOW. I love my friends. Molly, Melbo (and others that I just can't fit in this lil random spew) .. you guys know who you are. I love you *oh-so-much* and I'm so lucky to have you guys in my life! I LOVE acting like a complete goober .. and trust me .. I *am* a ditz. I'm extremely intelligent, but VERY ditzy. I love art ... especially beautiful art (and no .... contrary to popular belief .. NOT all art is beautiful. The stuff that people pay a bazillion dollars for is normally quite tasteless .. and those people should just give ME a zillion dollars and I'll throw spaghetti on the wall, take a picture of the mess and come up with the same kind of "brilliance" that they call ART. WTF?) So ... back to my likes .... I've *started* to like cooking. Although I'm *so* far from "okay" at cooking, I try. And some of the stuff is even okay to eat! YAY me! I like girlie movies (yes .. romantic/comedy person .. NOT a horror person.) I even love FABULOUS movies that I drag my friend Mel to see. (AHAHAH) I love my husband who saves me from scorpions ALL too often (YAY JAY!). I like children. Although Jay and I haven't been lucky enough to have any yet .... I can't wait. We all ready have names all picked out and everything! (Oh yes, did I mention I like PLANNING things?) I love surrounding myself with people who have integrity, honor and wisdom. I like friendly people, and the people who would bend over to do anything for a friend. I take my relationships (romantic relationships and friendships) very seriously. I am very loyal, and I expect my friends to be too. =-)
This list, unfortunately, is probably a lot larger than my "likes" list. I'm very picky. But .... let's see .. BUGS (of any shape, color, design or kind ... SUCH a phobia for me), people with no manners (should be shot ... no .... seriously ...... someone PLEASE start shooting), Labels, Racists, Conformists, Idiots, Deadbeats. I strongly dislike rude people. Oh .. and people with no manners .. did I mention that all ready? ;) I really truly dislike closed-minded or narrow-minded individuals. I dislike people who are so easily swayed from their original opinions of certain things ... there is so much to life out there, why let someone else show you or tell you what you should think? I dislike weak people. I'm not talking about physically weak. There is a time that you can be needy, gripey or an emotional wreck .. that's fine ... but if you're like that all the time? Please do us all a favor and shoot yourself now. WOW! This list could go on for MILES.

My Interests

I have several interests .. FIRST AND FOREMOST: My animals ( 3 dogs, a cat and my husband! =)). One thing you should know about me is I am *REALLY* into my animals. Well, not just mine .... ANY animals. I *LOVE* .. and I do mean absolutely *LOVE* golden retrievers! Who couldn't LOVE a face like this???

I also like doing anything to keep me occupied and amused. I'm into parapsychology, psychology (always the yin WITH the yang, people), metaphysics, people-watching ... which brings me to shock value ... it's always funny what people think you will and won't do. And their faces when they are wrong?? TOTALLY PRICELESS! I enjoy going out on my ATCs & ATVs, spending time with my family (DUH!) and breakin' loose. I love hangin out with my friends, goin to the movies, just kickin back .. whatever happens to sound good at the time. Although .. school and work (both full time) keep me *really* occupied as far as my time goes. So .. I pretty much hang out with the family, my "kids" (yes, the four-legged kind!), watch theatrical productions, go to karaoke .. or go dancin ... all IF and *WHEN* I have the time .. which is almost never.
I love musicals and theatrical productions. I'm a HUGE fan of:

Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com! Let's see how much you know about me! ;)

Nothing more true:

I'd like to meet:

Well, to start out .. I'd like to get back in touch with people I went to school with or people that I all ready know that I've lost touch with for any multitude of reasons. I'd also like to meet some interesting, funny, goofy, *OPEN-MINDED*, intelligent, unique and *REAL* people.

If ya feel like it, drop me a line! I love talkin to people (new acquaintances, old friends, doesn't really matter to me!), so, send me a message!

I just want to reitterate that I am looking for FRIENDS ONLY because I am very happily married. =)

Music:



I like pretty much anything ... jazz, techno, classical, trance, country, r&b, 80's, motown (50's/60's doo-whop), metal, punk, ska, acoustic, instrumental ... whatever! As long as there is talent behind it, I'm cool with it! Also, I love singin & playin guitar too. =) That and violin, flute, piano, clarinet .... need I go on?
I listen to a *lot* of different types of music ... I like everything from underground artists that most people have never heard of because their stuff doesn't get released, to mainstream stuff that you hear EVERY time you turn on the radio! Like I said .. I listen to a *lot* of different stuff.

The artists above are in no particular order (and yes, I AM obsessed with Beth Hart. She kicks ass!). That was only a *very* small taste of what I listen to ... there's a LOT more. =)

Movies:


I LOVE movies because I'm such a big kid at heart!
My favorite cartoon of all time is:
I like a LOT of movies though. Some examples? : Sleeping Beauty,
The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Pretty Woman, Serendipity, Coyote Ugly, Just Like Heaven, Grace Of My Heart, Little Women (old version and new version), The Cutting Edge, When A Man Loves A Woman, Office Space, Princess Bride, A Time To Kill, American History X and a LOT of others.
I'm REALLY into mob movies like:
(which is my FAVORITE non-animated movie)
Donnie Brasco
Goodfellas
Heat
... shall I keep going? I like historical remakes (Steven Spielberg kicks ass!) Also .. I WORSHIP Robin Williams ... no man is as quick or funny as he is! I'm ok with pretty much anything but horror. I'm a big wuss. =)
I also like fantasy movies ...... really creative and outlandish. Yup .. I'm a huge dork ... , Lord of The Rings .... stuff like that. =) BUT .. I don't care what you think, so, get over yourself.

Television:

If my TV is on (which is very rare, since I have so much homework all the time) .. I'm either watching Animal Planet (wow, I know, big surprise, eh?) or ...

One Tree Hill

ER

Grey's Anatomy

Dharma and Greg

The Family Guy

Everybody Loves Raymond

Books:


Books on Animals .. good stuff. Books for school on the other hand, should be illegal. Other than that .. George Orwell wrote some pretty amazing stuff .. ya know, Animal Farm ... 1984. Short stories are cool too ... Ambrose Bierce has some pretty inspiring stuff. I like being intellectually challenged. If a book is not suspenseful, a book that really makes ya think, or well written, I don't want to waste my time reading it. Why? Quite simple .. because

Heroes:

First off, my parents and my family. Those solemn few who truly are themselves and don't conform.

Then, OF COURSE, those protecting and serving the U.S. Thank you for your protection and have a safe homecoming.
