About Me

A few of my favorite things:I am 29 years old and live in Springfield, MO. I have lived here all my life which is probably why I have contemplated moving to St. Louis. I married my friend Matthew in a small ceremony on January 10th, 2007 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We are renewing our vows in August in a big church wedding. I have two cats, they are my "children". If my apartment burns...they are the first things I am grabbing. Well them and my first pressing of Sargent Pepper on vinyl, and maybe my autographed Albert Pujols baseball. I love baseball, well baseball and hockey. My favorite teams are of course the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues. I love baseball so much, I got a job during the spring and summer at Hammons Field, just so I could watch the games for free. Another sport that I have recently gotten back into is roller derby. When I was a kid, I used to watch jams on T.V. Now thanks to A & E, I get to watch it again-well sort of. But anyway, definatly a roller derby fan. When I grow up, I want to be either a journalist or work in advertising. I have written for the school newspaper at O.T. C. All my life I have been good at english and writing, but bad at math, so I guess I am the ideal candiate for either field. I have one sibling. My sister is married and lives with her husband in Palmer, Alaska. I really hate having her so far away, but if she is happy, that's all that matters to me. My parents recently moved to Battlefield, Missouri. They sold my childhood home and I was crushed. I couldn't let them know, because I didn't want to put a damper on their happy times.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet Drew Barrymore, Liv Tyler, Lisa Kudrow, Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, Amy Poheller, Tom Hanks, Viggo Mortensen, Brad Pitt, Jimmy Fallon, Will Farrell. On a more serious note, I would like to reconnect with my old classmates from high school and college. A lot of the coolest people I've ever met have only been in my life for a short time, and I'd like to keep in touch with them. And of course, my fellow Stygians are always welcome on my friends list!

Music:

I don't like a lot of what is played on the "Top 40" or "Popular" radio stations. Today's music does not appeal to me. I do have a few albums in my favorites that came out in the past few years, but that's about the extent of my new music radio listening.In case you can't tell, I kind of like Styx!Albums I listen to a lot:

Styx rocks my socks!

I was so excited to hear that Styx would be making a stop in Springfield. I wanted to win tickets from the radio station but, unfortunately, my body had other plans the day they were giving them away....
