My Interests

I am a ballroom dance instructor and competitor, and work at the Ballroom Dance Company in Tigard, Oregon. I love all kinds of dancing (ballroom and hip hop in particular), pretending I have money, cynicism, Washington and Oregon State beer, my husband, long walks, chocolate, animals, my car, un-PC humor, video games (especially Halo and anything Mario), sleeping, reading, skiing, skeet shooting, San Francisco, Seattle and a good ole fashioned turkey sandwich.

I'd like to meet:

Tony Dovolani, Lacey Schwimmer, Wade Robson, Shane Sparks, Katusha Demidova

Music:

Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits, ES Posthumus, Van Morrison, CCR, Eagles, Thievery Corporation, Timbaland's booty music, Chris Issak, Massive Attack, Iron & Wine, Portishead, Johnny Cash, John Denver, Tommy Guerrero, DJ Erb...though since I've been working, if it doesn't invoke ballroom in some capacity, I don't seem to have much use for it...

Movies:

Princess Bride/Neverending Story/Goonies, Peter Pan/Robin Hood(animated 1953), Lost In Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Fish, Lilo and Stitch, Closer, Chocolat, Thank You For Smoking, Million Dollar Baby, Fight Club, Matrix Trilogy, The Bourne Movies, Shrek 1 & 2, Office Space, 13 Going On 30, Ocean's Eleven, Winged Migration, The Five Obstructions, House of Flying Daggers, Koyaanisqatsi (and the sequels Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi), Chasing Amy, Super Troopers, Love Me If You Dare, Oscar, Jurassic Park

Television:

Heroes, Lost, West Wing, So You Think You Can Dance, Friends, Carnivale, Deadwood, Prison Break, Project Runway, Family Guy, World Poker Tour, Discovery/Travel Channel

Books:

Da Vinci Code, Lovely Bones, Atlas Shrugged, Everything Bad Is Good For You/Tipping Point, pretty much anything by Michael Moore, most of what Ken Follett writes is pretty good, same goes for Chuck Pahlenuik (however you spell his name. That guy that wrote Choke, Survivor and Fight Club). Oh yeah, and Harry Potter...

Heroes:

Victor Fung and Anna Mikhed, for more than the obvious reasons
