My Interests

I am an avid reader - obsessive might be the better word! Actually, I love a good story, which encompasses movies, television, music, and books. While not a professional, I am a decent karaoke singer, and need neither dare nor drink to get up and sing! I am easily entertained, finding things of interest just about anywhere - I can't remember the last time I was bored. I'm an ENTP who also values her alone time, believing it is healthy to 'recharge' one's batteries, and stay in tune with yourself. That said, I love social gatherings, and especially love to entertain.

Cooking is a longtime passion of mine - especially when cooking for my friends or family. I am just as likely to try new recipes as I am to make the old family favorites, and my cookbook collection is as large as my library of fiction!

I love silliness - anything to make people smile, especially myself! Never at the expense of others, of course. I love to smile and laugh, and of course I absolutely adore going to live comedy shows! I've been lucky enough to see some really great comedians live here in Nashville!

Inheriting my Grandfather's love of technical gadgets, I parlayed that into a career in technology. What was once a hobby when I lived in a small town became a career when I moved to Nashville. If you have to work for a living, it's great to have work you really enjoy most days.

I've been reviewing books for CK2S Kwips & Kritiques since September 2006, and thoroughly enjoy both the reviewing and the Kwips team! As of August 2007 I am also now a charter member of Amazon.com's Vine Voices program, which affords me the opportunity to review books, movies, music, electronics, and more for Amazon.com.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not really looking to meet anyone in particular, just interesting people either with like interests or maybe people who can expand my horizons while I do the same for them...My favorite people are kind, with a quick wit, a little bit of smarts (or a lot!), and are comfortable with their own talents and their place in the world. A sense of play and a good imagination are big pluses to me...
