You Are a Normal Girl
You are 40% Good and 60% Bad
Sure you've pulled some bad girl stunts in your past.
But these days, you're (mostly) a good girl. Are You a Good Girl or a Bad Girl?I'm just an ordinary person. I try not to take myself or life too seriously, although there is a time & a place for everything. I enjoy laughing and having a good time, but also am always up for a lively debate about politics, religion, economics... whatever - as long as the other person is as open-minded as I am. I have my own opinions & beliefs, but like hearing from different people & learning from them.I live in a small town, which I swore I would never do after growing up in one... but I like the pace of things here, and you can't beat living on Lake Michigan. Plus, I have been lucky enough to do a bit of traveling over the past couple of years, and I'm on the go a lot visiting family/friends so it keeps things interesting. Chicago is nearby too, when I really need a quick change of pace.My worst habit is procrastination. My best habit is trying to put a smile on other people's faces. I love cooking & baking and hosting parties. I like to drive fast and I get really mad if you are driving slow in the "fast lane". I am rarely in a bad mood, but am good at hiding my feelings when I am. I love the company of others & meeting new people, but at times I can seem shy or reserved if I am in need of some alone time to recharge my batteries. I now realize that I'm not as "smart" as I thought I was when I was younger. One of my strengths is that I always look for and believe the best in people, this is also my greatest weakness... I love life, and hope that I'm living it right. Right now I am on a path where I need to make some big decisions, because it seems that my life has become somewhat stagnant and I'm not happy about that. I continue to enjoy the day-to-day though, that is what life is all about after all!

My Interests

I'm up for anything really, but stay pretty busy taking care of my house and working. I do *try* to workout regularly and it would be nice to find a gym buddy (To all of my friends in St. Joe: drop your passes at Anytime & Southshore and come to the Y!!!)! I enjoy outdoor activities more though, like tennis, golf, softball, biking, hiking, snowshoeing, etc. I enjoy socializing, whether it be with friends or family, at someone's house over a game of cards, at a bar over a martini, or around a campfire telling stories. I just enjoy people! I also enjoy traveling to new places, cooking & baking, decorating my house, trying my hand at landscaping, playing with puppies and OTHER people's babies. I also like to help people out, whether it's volunteering for charity or a friend with a project.

50% Denver Which American Cities Best Fit You?

I'd like to meet:

FRIENDS! Come one, come all!

Music:

RANDOM, everything except for most heavy metal or hardcore rap. I have a great appreciation for any artist who writes their own music (Neil Diamond - "greatest singer songwriter of our time"?) and also anyone who is a great performer or can play an instrument as well as sing (Alicia Keys - love her). I also enjoy live music. I am kind of lazy though, so whatever is on the radio is usually the kind of stuff I listen to most. Beyonce, Corinne Bailey Rae, Evanescence, Lily Allen, JT, Kanye, Mary J., Ne-yo, Nelly Furtado, Pink, The Roots, Usher, the list goes on... Some throwback stuff to bring back high school memories is old Beastie Boys, SUBLIME (one of my favs, I wish their lead singer would not have OD'd!!), 2Pac, Cake, Sarah Maclachlan, Semisonic, Soundgarden, STP, Marcy Playgound, Green Day. You also gotta have the country (Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts...) and the stuff that will never die (The Eagles, The Doors, Steve Miller Band, Chicago, DMB, Simon & Garfunkel...)

Which Dead Rock Star Are You?

Jeff Buckley You are Jeff Buckley! You're influential to many young and old, and very talented. You have charisma and grace that sets you a part from many. You are beautiful! Oh, he died in 1997 from a drug-induced drowning in the Mississippi River.

Can't wait for the new Sex and the City movie Premiere!!!

Television:

I don't really LIKE sitting around watching TV so it is odd that I find myself watching so much of it. :-/ Anything on HGTV, Desperate Housewives, Prison Break, The Office, CSI: Las Vegas and Miami, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, Sex and the City, Colbert Report, Daily Show, more reality crap than I like to admit, random shows on the History & Travel Channels Wentworth Miller, a.k.a. Michael Scofield of Prison Break. Yummy Eye Candy!

Books:

I'll admit it, I love the Harry Potter books. Other than that, I read a variety. Fiction & non-fiction are both good. And when I say fiction I don't mean crappy romance novels. I like to read things that are creative/unique, have meaning & teach you something. I love the classics, but rarely re-read a book so I am always looking for something new!

Heroes:

No one specific, but I have a lot of admiration for anyone who has overcome major adversity but doesn't complain about it or brag about it. Also, I know a lot of people don't agree with war but whatever you or I feel, the men & women serving are heroes!! I'm especially proud of my friends/family/co-workers who have served and had to leave their loved ones behind!

My Blog

I hate the word blog.

Blog.  Doesn't it just annoy you to hear the word?  It is like nails on a chalkboard to me.  It ranks right up there with other made up techno words like webinar.  Is it really&nbs...
