About Me


My coworkers describe me as a Dali painting. I thought they meant warped and twisted, like the droopy clocks, but they explained that I just see things much differently than most people. And I do.

I do what I can to make other people crack a smile, no matter how retarded I look. I'll strike up a conversation with a stranger on the elevator or the next person in line, but I'm not THAT person on the plane that tried to talk your ear off on the red-eye. That's a No No! I have a great life and it mainly includes, in no particular order: work, my dog, friends, and family. My life is pretty much calibrated, but I think it would be even better if I found the guy with whom to shake things up a bit!

My Interests

Live music, museums, theatre, painting (although I completely suck at it), showing horses, travel, running with my dog, last minute road trips, city/country - doesn't matter where I am, as long as I am surrounded by great people.

Music:

Movies:

Love Actually,Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Meaning of Life, Better Off Dead, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Office Space, Cruel Intentions, Fight Club

Television:

Sex and the City reruns, Design Star, Rock of Love, My Super Sweet 16, Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency - any reality show that's a complete trainwreck

Books:

Animal Farm (because it reminds me sooooo much of my former department at work)

Confessions of a Shopaholic

The Devil Wears Prada

Horse Heaven

The Count of Monte Cristo

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle

The Catcher in the Rye

Heroes:

The hot guy who helped me push my car off Williams Street when it crapped out two summers ago - if only I'd been less worried about calling Audi Assured for my tow, and more concerned about getting his digits...

Michele MacKenzie, who lovingly spent hours and hours with my horse, Cowboy (and the ultrasound machine), trying to save his bad leg, and who gave Cowboy kisses, hugs, and all the peppermints a horse could want!

Gramps, the only 84 year old I know with a Sony WEGA plasma tv, picture phone, and DSL. He's never been one to be left behind. Oh, and he sends funny dirty jokes, too!

Can You Read My Mind?

This morning I was eating my breakfast and watching MTV when this weird new Killers "Read My Mind" video came on.  Seems as though it was filmed in Asia, and all I can say is that the producer/di...

The Creepy Guy

I work with this guy who stares at a few of the ladies around here.  Of course, we call him the Creepy Guy.  In fact, he stares me down all the time (like he is undressing me with his e...

Reason .512 why I shouldn't quit my day job:

I decided the other day to paint a portrait of my dog, Zoe.  I'm not sure why I thought I was qualified to paint, especially since I've never used acrylics on a canvas, but I spent the money on t...
