About Me

Do I pull this off TOO well?
I am a grammar freak, I have an amazing amount of hair, and I am addicted to white tic tacs.
Scrabble is a great board game. Lactose is a bad ingredient.
I love sunsets and palm trees. Especially sunsets and palm trees on the beach. Especially taking pictures of sunsets and palm trees on the beach.
I may be a tad bit obsessed with my digital camera.
I live vicariously through my friends in bands since I have no musical talent of my own. NOT to be confused with being a groupie.
Glacier Freeze Gatorade, baby food peaches and shopping at H&M rock.
Three people have told me that I look somewhat like Denise Richards (when she is clothed). I disagree, but I really like those people.
I took a massage course once. I learned that I really like GETTING massages.
Happy Birthday if it's your birthday! If not, happy birthday in advance.
And on an unrelated note, I've never had the chicken pox.
While Jennifer has 2 N's, Jen only has one. No need for superfluous N's. (I really like the word superfluous and just wanted an excuse to use it in my profile. I also really like the word "idiosyncrasy.")
Periods and commas always go inside the quotation marks. For some reason, no one knows this.
Emotions over logic. Logically.
**I love Tonight Show headlines!
"We do not cease to play because we grow old; we grow old because we cease to play." ~George Bernard Shaw
Oh, and I may not drink, but I sure do play a mean game of flip cup (especially while dressed for "Beer-lympics"):

My Interests

Music, writing, doing the Washington Post Sunday crossword, the beach, board games, especially SCRABBLE, skiing, pool, baseball (the Orioles specifically - I am a LOYAL fan), taking pictures (can you tell?), tennis, words, 24-hour stores, laughing, Jay Leno Headlines and wondering about the people who are reading this...

Movies:

Old School Nintendo makes me fierce:

Books:

Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Albom), The Missing Piece (Shel Silverstein), Everybody Poops (Taro Gomi)

This has nothing to do with books, but I must go on the record to say that Happy Bear rocks! Keeping bad dreams away since 1988!

Heroes:

You, for reading this far...

My hair for its ability to expand endlessly

My best friend Linda and her adorable now-almost-two-year-old Luka

Me and my brother for being 80s posterchildren:

Jen turns political: Why the ban on gay marriage makes me sick

I didn't vote back in 2000. I'm not really ashamed to admit that because back in 2000, I didn't feel a connection to any of the issues being discussed. I would have voted based on what my family and p...
