When I'm not doing homework I'm watching movies, hanging out with Mike, hanging out with other friends, playing on the computer, crochet or reading a book.
StumbleUpon is the best and worst thing ever! Check my blog for "Link-a-Holics" posts - that's where I post the good, the bad, and the ugly of StumbleUpon finds.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who doesn't want to just "hook up" or things along that line. I like friends, I like meeting them and having them and being around them. Friends are fun.

Anything by Frank Peretti, but especially This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness as well as The Visitation and Monster and The Oath.... yeah, just read all of his books. They're all great.

I'm an Angel Baker (one of the many groups that are a part of Soldier's Angels). I get to make cookies or some sort of treat once a month and send it to troops in Iraq.
