There are

people with my name
in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?

I'm very different from the way I was raised. I don't believe that it is pure rebellion, but a drive to know that which I didn't before.

I constantly feel like I don't fit in, and I have felt that way for as long as I can remember.

I find myself often in deep thought about the cosmos, what else is there out there, and why can't I go? It's dreadful being stuck on this planet with all these people who will stop at nothing to destroy it and everyone on it, all in the name of religion.

My biggest fear for myself is that I will always be chasing happiness but always fall short.

My Interests

Fixing what I've broken.

Being an amazing wife.

Being an amazing mommy.(yes, I hope always to be "mommy.")

Excelling at work.

Getting from today to tomorrow with minimal disruption.

I'd like to meet:

I can't think of anyone I'd like to meet. I suppose I'm pretty content with the people I already know.

Music:

I have become completely obsessed with The Postal Service, I spend most of my work day listening to the same four songs you can see the videos of on mtv.com while I'm at work. (I LOVE my job.)

I love the band TOOL. We saw them last year and it was an amazing show.

I also enjoy the Barenaked Ladies. Their radio-play stuff is very fun and catchy, but I like them for what doesn't get played on the radio. They have truly amazing music on their albums.

The first time I heard the song "Goodbye Blue Sky" by Pink Floyd, I was at work. I nearly started crying right there at my cubicle. What a beautiful song.

I love Simon & Garfunkel and I'm not ashamed to admit it, even if I am one of maybe 5 people under 40 who relate to their music. They can also bring me to tears.

I really like the new stuff Paul McCartney has just put out. He's still got it...

I have a LOT of songs that I can associate a memory to, of a specific place, time, event or feeling the first time I heard it. I know this isn't unique to me, but it illustrates that it's impossible to list all the music that is important to you. When you hear it,
you just know.

Movies:

The Notebook

Closer (I know, what a dramatic comparison!)

Bobby

Lady in the Water

The Princess Bride

The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Finding Nemo

Garden State

Dogma

Click

Harry Potter (1-5 so far... but 7's going to be the best!!)

Office Space

Television:

LOST (ABC)

Grey's Anatomy (ABC) ...Let me jump on the bandwagon...

Man vs. Wild (Discovery)

Friends (NBC)

Dead Like Me (Showtime)

The Universe (History)

Books:

Where the Heart Is

The Notebook

Harry Potter (I could barely put the last one down, it was sooo good!!)

Heroes:

Adam Sherwood. He's the best person I've ever known, no matter what happens.

Turning the big 3-0 (in 3 years)

So, for a short while now, the fact that I'll be 30 soon has been sort of looming over me. Not that I consider that old by any stretch, but all the same, it's weird. I will be 30. And sooner than I ca...
