I am here for Friends

About Me

Wow, I hate these things... Ok, me. I was born and raised in a small south Texas town. Because of this I probably sound like more like a hick than I actually am. I currently live in Houston and work as a biologist at a hospital, doing equal amounts of clinical and research work. I love to cook, as evidenced by my picture ;) Other hobbies include reading, fishing, hanging out with friends and generally acting like a jackass. I also shop, a lot. See, I am girlie...

My Interests

First and foremost, I am a die-hard Longhorn fan. Particularly football.
More cool stuff at YourCoolProfile.com! I also like hanging out with friends and family, to cook, a lot. Movies, concerts (I've seen the Stones, ZZ Top, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Kiss, Aerosmith, and about a ton of others), and any kind of other general entertainment is ok with me. I also like to go fishing and go to my family's ranch in south Texas and eat whatever my dad and brothers kill :)

I'd like to meet:

people who aren't boring. And whoever thought of this: Maraka the Explorer

Music:

311, Alkaline Trio, Saves the Day, Green Day, Goldfinger, Something Corporate, AFI, Older Jimmy Eat World, Incubus

Movies:

Dazed and Confused, The Stewie Griffin Movie, Harold and Kumar, basically if it's foul humor or shit blowing up, I'm good. Hate hate HATE romantic movies and sad movies. There is enough shit wrong in this world that I'm not gonna pay $10 to sit for 2 hours and get depressed.

Television:

Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, any of the CSIs, Food Network (particularly Good Eats, I love Alton Brown!!), Entourage, History Channel, Discovery & TLC.

Books:

I really needed to update this. All-time favorites are still the same: Catcher in the Rye, The Color Purple, Brave New World. I have recently read: Keeping Faith; What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal; Abundance; Kitchen Confidential; Beyond Band of Brothers and I'm sure I am missing a few others that I can't think of right now. Next in line are: The Poisionwood Bible; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; Blood-sucking Fiends; and all of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books. Because I saw the movie and *have* to know what happens next. Oh, and HP: DH. Only the true fans will know what that is. ;-)

Heroes:

My mother is about the strongest and most awesome person I know. My step-dad is a wonderful man.

Why you gain 10 lbs over December...

Busy Amy!  I know there were a lot of you that I was saying 'Hey!  I'll see you over the holidays!', but as things are shaping up, I have no idea how plausible that will be.  Tonight I ...

Grrr.... Arghhhh.... and other general bitching

I appologize for the fact that my first ever blog post will be me ranting, but, from what I see, 'blog' should stand for bitching-log anyway, so here we go...   I loathe my kitchen.  See y'a...
