Get off the couch and do something!

About Me

I'm fun and I'm optimistic. I believe that there's good in this world, even though at times it's hard to see. I'm goofy and I love to make people laugh. I'm a reality tv junkie with a not-so-secret lust for stardom. I love the beach and road trips with friends. I'm scrawny but I'm tough. Don't tell me I can't do something because then I will. I have a recent need for adventure. I don't want to wake up 20 years from now and regret not doing something. I also get bored easily, which is why you'll never see me with the same hairstyle or color for too long. I try to surround myself with good, honest people. I no longer accept the crap I used to take from so-called "friends." Family and friends are the most important thing in the world to me, and I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by so many wonderful, loving people. My cat, Bandit, gives the best hugs. I'm not seeing anyone right now, but I do have my eye on someone. People might be surprised to find out who it is, but never say never! Please don't randomly add me to your friend list. Send me a message! Get to know me, and let me see who you are. No one has 3,000 friends in real life! Believe in quality, not quantity, in everything in life. Whatever your passion is, go for it, no matter how silly it may seem to others. You or I might only be one person, but one person is all it takes to change the world.

My Interests

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 :-)

I'd like to meet:

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.

Music:

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 ;-)

Movies:

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

Television:

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.

Books:

The Lovely Bones, Among the Heroes, Catcher in the Rye, Bachelorette No. 1 and The Great Gatsby

Heroes:

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 :)

To all of my "friends"

So, I was waiting in line for the restroom today at a Toys 'R Us in Times Square, and I was making small talk with the girl in front of me. At first, everything was friendly. I'll transcribe...

when you really just need a friend

So...I have a dilemma. I've got this friend who is so into herself that I hesitate to even really call her a friend anymore. She certainly doesn't act like one. There was a time when we were really cl...
