About Me

"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand."---Irish Blessing.....Well As you can see I am Irish, and I am pretty laid back. I am basically your typical loud, Irish crazy girl! I am currently going back to school for nursing and am loving every minute of it. I have the most amazing family whom I love tremendously. We are the quintessential Griswalds going on crazy vacations which never go according to my fathers plan. I love them dearly.MySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds

My Interests

I love flyfishing. I know that is wierd, but it has been a hobby of mine since I was 17 and I love being on the river it is the closest thing to peace I can find right now. I love the outdoors and watching NFL football and NCAA basketball, going out with friends, piano music, quiet nights, reading, baths, driving nowhere, watching people (not stalking, just watching them and trying to guess what thier story is), lazy Sundays, cuddling on the couch under a warm blanket, watching thunderstorms come up the lake, acting silly, laughing, the Bible, Space, drinking wine with friends, candlelight, swimming, windy days, fall especially the cool crisp air and the leaves, being completely imature but not caring (which I do alot), etc...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and Everyone. I am one of those people that thrives off of meeting new friends and getting to know people. I love laughter, so make me laugh and I am yours.

Music:

I really like soundtrack music. I like classical, moving peices like the music found in the Truman show, or The Passion of Christ. I guess if I had to rattle off some bands that I like to listen to they would be Radio Head, U2, Pearl Jam, Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, The Cure, Air, Frou Frou, Jump Little Children, Ani DeFranco, The Sundays, Mazzy Star, Peter Gabriel, Elliot Smith, Wilco, Used,The Beatles, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones, Chris Cornell (I like his voice a lot), most 80s music. Right now I am really into this band from England Muse, kind of Radiohead esque.

Movies:

Tombstone, Braveheart, Ace Ventura (both, really anything with Jim Carey), Usual Suspects, Resevoir Dogs, Anchorman, Gladiator, Romy and Michelles High School Reunion (it is a special movie for me and a friend of mine), Christmas Vacation (I can watch this movie in July and it never gets old, that and my father is Clark Griswald), Donny Darko, Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite, Best in Show, Point Break, Edward Scissorhands, Dumb and Dumber, Deuce Bigalow Male Gigalo, The Ring, Date with an Angel and Labrynth (these were two of my faves when I was little), I will think of more, just don't have the time right now! I love movies!

Television:

Vicar of Dibly, Band of Brothers, SNL, Adult Swim, Curb your Enthusiasm, NCAA Basketball (Go Wake), NFL Football, this show on ESPN called Cheap Seats (I laugh so hard I cry)

Books:

Gosh where to begin. I love to read just about anything. To list would be to hard.

Heroes:

This is going to sound corny but my Mom is really my Hero. She is the person I want to be when I grow up. She is the strongest person I know, and I would give anything to have at least 5% of her strength and courage.

My Blog

A Poem I found or should I say, refound.

I had heard this poem so long ago, and it stuck with me.  Not quite sure why.  It is sad, and depressing, but something it is makes me want to feel the type of love that was felt between the...

Old Email to my friends (made me ponder)
