Some of my favorite quotes:

Music:


MySpace Icons

I love an eclectic mix of music. The radio dial rarely stays on one station for longer than one song, and the CD player gets quite a rotation workout! My tastes range from current to classic, rock to jazz, Christian to secular. If I don't already know it, introduce me to it. Chances are, I'll love it! Here are a few of my favorites: Jason Mraz, K.T. Tunstall, Jack Johnson, Counting Crows, Coldplay, Matchbox Twenty, Shakira, Panic at the Disco; Deathcab for Cutie; Frank Sinatra; Michael Buble; Bond (that's BOND, not BONO, although he's cool too!); Third Day; Toby Keith; Alison Krauss; Tom Petty ... I'm hooked on 99.3 FM, WXRY The Independent Alternative

Movies:



The Godfather (all 3, believe it or not!); Office Space; Dogma; Rent; Chicago; A Chorus Line; Center Stage (any sort of theater/dance movie); Forrest Gump; Wedding Crashers; Bridget Jones' Diary; The Others; ; Pride and Prejudice (the Colin Firth version!)

Television:

I'm a sucker for 80s shows: Scarecrow and Mrs. King; Remington Steele; Growing Pains; Family Ties; Alf; 227; Amen. And then as for the modern TV shows, I love The Sopranos; Sex and the City (thanks to DVD!); The Closer; Dancing with the Stars (SHUDDUP!! I hear you all laughing! I'd love to have the physical prowess to be on that show!) and The Bachelor.

Books:

I'll read anything and everything! The problem is finding the time!

Heroes:

My dad. I know it sounds sappy, but it's true. He had polio as a child, and overcame so many medical and physical hardships to be a truly successful man. ... Even walking with a cane and a limp, my daddy is the strongest man I know. I love you, daddy!!!
