About Me


I'm simply an open minded collector of information. I love reading histories, philosophy, psychology, even a little theology of various types. But at the end of the day what I love most is curling up to watch a good movie. I love all kinds, action, adventure, horror, mushy love stuff, but especially musicals.. well certain ones anyway. I'm really quite simple. Yes I'm Pagan, but it's just my way of life. I'm not a hippy, I'm not fanatic about it. I won't refuse to do something cause it's not Pagan and I sure as hell am not just rebelling. I'm simply spiritual instead of religious. I don't do spells and conjure demons. I try to look for the good in people and when I get stressed I meditate, my version of prayer. Pagan is just a part of who I am. The same as I'm an artist, photographer, singer, writer. The one thing I really want to learn how to do is rock climb.

I am an ex-military brat. Was born in England (and have dual citizenship). I lived there for four years before moving to San Diego for a year. Then back to England where my lil sis was born. We were there another four years before moving to Rome, NY. There four years before moving to San Antonio, TX. Left there after four years, moving in the summer of Senior year to Honolulu, HI. 3 and a half years later it was off to Germany for 7 months before ending up in Cullman, Alabama of all places for an "exciting" (that is sarcasm by the way) 2 years. Lived in Destin Florida for another two, then spent 8 months in Baltimore. Lived in Central FLorida for about 4 years and moved up to Pennsylvania for about a year. Then decided to visit Tennessee twice before driving out to Colorado. I was out there a whole month before I decided to turn around and explore life in Cookeville, TN. ~LMAO~ good god, my fingers need a break after all that.

I am a truly hopeless romantic. I could probably make a fortune writing romance novels with all the stuff in my head, but I think romance novels rot your brain. A lot of times I suppose this romantic side just gets me in trouble because I tend to only see the best parts of people and then, of course, reality steps up to the plate.

I am quite simply just me and I'm different almost everyday. I have my days of extreme sarcasm, being generally witty, quiet, shy, outgoing and bawdy, soft and sensuous, irritated, frustrated, stressed. I'm unique just like everbody else.

My Interests

I love to draw, mostly pencil sometimes inks. Occassionally like to RPG though I wouldn't call myself a RPG freak or anything. Love my babygirl, Foxy. She's a gorgeous Siberian Husky. She's a total brat but I love her. Love going to Pagan events and drumming, dancing around a bonfire, playing Vanna White at the raffles ~LOL~ Though I haven't done any of that in a while. Being in a new area it takes some time to find new people. I love to watch movies, read all kinds of books, go for a walk in the woods or down a main street, play on the beach, swimming, listen to live music (live guitar just does it for me). I'd like to get back into playing racketball, would love to learn how to rock climb. Basically I love the outdoors but I also love city life, I'm just schizophrenic that way ~LOL~

I'd like to meet:

Raymond Buckland, Wendi and Richard Pini, Robin Williams, Dennis Leary, Charlize Theron, and many many more. I'm also looking to meet and talk to anyone interesting who is real and not posing as something or someone else. Most of my friends are guys cause quite honestly, us women can be a lil psycho sometimes. ~L~ I love figuring out people and what makes them tick.

In Memory of a very dear friend that has passed on

Billy, you are and always have been a guiding light in my life. A lot of times you told me things that I didn't want to believe were true, but you were right all along. I may have over looked them without your words and guidance. Thank you. Love Always.

Some of My own Artwork that I thought I might share.


Music:

Sheesh pretty much everything but rap and country although there are exceptions to both. LOve love love Ska, big band and old 50's music like Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone. Some of my favorite artists are Kidney Theives, Save Ferris, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Stabbing Westward, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Aerosmith, Cherry Poppin Daddies, Letters To Cleo, Dead Can Dance, Johnathan E, Coldplay, Korn, Disturbed, Live, My Chemical Romance, The Skyliners, Default, Blue October, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Switchfoot, Sublime, System of the Down, Orgy, Aqua (yes I know!!How dare I), Green Day, Offspring, Sum 41, Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Lords of Acid, Juno Reactor, Staind (the first CD and most of the second), No Doubt's first CD, That "Black Horse in a Cherry tree" song is awesome, Michael Buble, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and so many more that my brain has now frozen up.

Movies:

For more on my opinions of movies you should really check out the MySpace profile I made just for writing my own movie reviews. myspace.com/averagejanemovie definitely check it out!!!

300!!! Awesome flick, Children of Men, Aeon Flux, V for Vendetta, Serenity, all the Kevin Smith View Askew Movies, Signs, The Village, Transporter, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Stay, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Momento, Face Off, Matchstick Men, Sahara, Underworld I & II, Interview with a Vampire, Queen of the Damn, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Fifth Element, Romeo & Juliet, The Breakup, Wedding Crashers, Happy Gilmore, Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, Hope Floats, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Kill Bill Parts I & II, Chobits animated series, Pirates of the Carribean I & II, The Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rogue, The Long Kiss Good Night, HellBoy, Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, Like Water For Chocolate, Chronicles of Riddick, old musicals starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bridget Jones Diary (might as well be my life story in some ways), If Lucy Fell (one of my all time favorites), Shaun of the Dead, Ready to Rumble, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Scooby Doo Movie, Stir of Echoes, Love Actually (Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister of England, hilarious), Down with Love, and sooo many more.. There aren't many movies that I don't like or won't at least watch. I don't get into Vietnam movies except Full Metal Jacket of course. Most of the ghost movies like the Grudge and the Ring just creep me out a little too much, though I sometimes still watch them.

I remember when I was a kid I used to love watching this old scary movie called the "Watcher in the Woods". I'm also a sucker for romance movies, especially the slightly unpredictable ones, the curse of the truely hopeless romantic. It's just a shame that life is never that cool.

There's also some other old movies I love like Hush, Hush Sweet Charolette (Bettie Davis), the Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies, Ester Williams movies (with the big choreographed swimming sequences). The Ghost and Mr Chicken was my favorite halloween flick.
