About Me

I love a good whitetrash hoe-down. I love hangin' out, wearing jeans, being comfortable, watching football (and sometimes pro wrestling), and being with family. Dogs are cool, cats are scary. And I love cheese.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mainly, I just want to reconnect with old friends and keep in touch with the new ones I make.

Music:

Mostly stuff I can dance to. I like all kinds of dancing, though. Hip-Hop, country, salsa, the robot, ballroom,etc. You name it; I'll do it.

Movies:

Since the world is full of serious and depressing issues, I prefer my entertainment to be just that: entertainment. I understand that filmmaking is an artform and a medium of communication, but I've never been one to take myself too seriously or anyone else for that matter. So bring on the next Nicholas Cage flick!

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Studio 60, and Heroes are the only shows I go out of my way to watch. I get down on some Power Rangers pretty often and more cartoons and Disney Channel sitcoms than I care to admit, but that's the life of a mom.

Books:

I'm an English teacher, so I really like to read well-written novels. I find it difficult (if not impossible) to get into the entire genre of fantasy/sci fi, but I love it when they make those books into movies! Some of my favorite books are: 100 Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Sun Also Rises, The Sound and the Fury, The Secret History, The Little Friend, All the Pretty Horses, The Lovely Bones, The Secret Life of Bees, anything by Toni Morrison, How I Became a Pirate,Things Fall Apart, Wuthering Heights, The Great Gatsby, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Last Train to Memphis, the list goes on...

Heroes:

Have always been cowboys.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

Each year I torture my sy students with one of the cheesiest films I've ever had the opportunity to watch. You may have noticed a new addition to my "About Me" category. I have taken a little quiz&nbs...

Addicted

Okay, so I thought I was over MySpace and that I had found everyone I ever wanted to find and talked to everyone I ever thought I needed to...I guess I was wrong. I have been on this damn thing for tw...

Tagged, damnit!

I don't really like these things, but my adorable sister-in-law listed me as someone she thought would play along, so I guess I will. The rules are: once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog...

Husband

 So I've never really found any great pictures of myhusband that I want to post on here. Most of the picts that I have of him involve him and some animal he has recently slain. Thanks to my buddy...

I'm Baaaaack

Okay, I spent most of the year feeling smug that I had conquered the obsession of MySpace that continued to plague my students. Then...summer came. Here I am obsessively checking once and twice a day ...

Life Happens

Okay, so my life is catching up with me and I no longer have time for this addictive, obsessive thing known as MySpace. I miss catching up and following all of the degrees of separation, but I simply ...

Harrassment or Honesty?

Okay, I have really tried not to be too brutal on the Myspace. But, sometimes my candid honesty gets away from me. I'll send out a blanket apology and ask for a truce (sp?). No, Philly, this is not di...

Okay...So it's bound to happen

Being a teacher of wily high school students, I kind of figured that my students would find me on here some day. I can't shake 'em. That's okay, though, because I'm a real person with life outside of ...

English Teachers Can't Spell

I know it seems like a contradiction, but English teachers can't spell either. I am very educated and intelligent, and research shows that there is absolutely no connection between spelling and intell...

What the...?

I'm not sure what the point of catching up with friends on this network is if you never actually talk to your friends. Oh, well..I guess I'll just keep doin' my thing. Since I have very little free ti...
