Some of my favorite things are hanging out at the beach and going to ball games...gotta love those Angels! But really, I tend to be laid back and can have fun doing pretty much anything, especially if I'm with friends. I love taking pictures, reading, shopping, lounging around and going to concerts. It sounds weird, but I also really like cleaning and organizing. It's my "thing." Some people drink when they're stressed, but I tidy up! lol Just don't bug me when I'm watching one of my reality shows and we'll get along just fine :-)
Besides YOU, there's Nick Carter, Ryan Seacrest, Amanda Bynes, Carson Daly, Reba McEntire, Kerr Smith, Kelly Clarkson, Eric and Jeremy from season 9 of The Amazing Race, and old friends I've lost touch with.
I like all kinds of music; most of my CDs are pop and country, but I also like a lot of rock, punk, rap, R&B, and more. My favorite artists/bands include Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, The Veronicas, Unwritten Law, Rascal Flatts, Joe Nichols, The Beach Boys and more! And there will always be a special place in my heart for the Backstreet Boys ;-)
White Chicks, Father of the Bride, Speed, Dirty Dancing, Coyote Ugly, Final Destination, The Silence of the Lambs, The Parent Trap, Big Fat Liar, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 10 Things I Hate About You, And the Band Played On, Crash, Saved!, The Ring and more
I'm a TV junkie, I hate to admit it, but I find it to be the perfect way to just "get away" sometimes. Reality television is a weakness of mine, and I really like Survivor, The Apprentice, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Beauty and the Geek and The Amazing Race. I'm also a big fan of Reba, Cops, Nip/Tuck, Beach Patrol, Law and Order, CSI, Grey's Anatomy and Still Standing.
The Lovely Bones, Among the Heroes, Catcher in the Rye, Bachelorette No. 1 and The Great Gatsby
My parents always have and always will be my heroes. They were dealt bad hands in life, but they have risen above their adversities to become such wonderful people. They not only inspire me and my siblings to work hard and achieve great things, but they inspire others to do the same. I also really look up to people who never give up, whatever the situation -- people who don't spend their lives making excuses. And one day, hopefully someone will say the same about me :)
