Out of my mind... back in 5 minutes.

About Me

I'm 39, married to a very cool guy. I have two kids one 18 and one 20, also very cool. I'm a graphic artist & desktop publisher and I am the web manager at a non-profit. My 3 favorite things to do are quilting, going to concerts and hanging out with my family & friends.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

Family, music and concerts, quilting, reading, movies and movie trivia, yoga, health and exercise, travel, photography. Quilting quilting quilting...

I'd like to meet:

My doppleganger... to see if that whole thing is true or not.

Music:

OK... Long list: Railer (www.railerband.com - my son is in that band!), NIN, Assemblage 23, Depeche Mode, Tool, A Perfect Circle, System of a Down, The Faint, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, old grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains), L7, Ministry, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Filter. Love old 80's stuff.On the flip side, I like the blues - especially live - and especially Etta James. That song "At Last" still gives me chills! And I'm getting into Jazz - Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and of course Coltrane. I LOVE acoustic classical guitar, and acoustic flamenco guitar music.There is much more... and I will think of it later.

Movies:

An Inconvenient Truth, Million Dollar Baby, Big Fish, Troy, 28 Days, Shopgirl, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Bruce Almighty, Gross Point Blank, Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan, Donnie Darko, Schindler's List, the first Matrix, Silence of the Lambs, Mindhunter, Se7en, Scarface ("say ello to my little fren!"), Trainspotting, Snatch, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gilbert Grape (there seems to be a Johnny Depp theme going on here), Willy Wonka. I like Titanic - SO WHAT?!!! Jurassic Park (my son made me see it a lot when he was little). Oh, and I like Batman because he is only one of TWO superheroes that has NO superpowers. Batman Begins is my favorite Batman movie.

DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!
My Flixster

Television:

CSI (the original one - the other one's suck!), Dexter, House, any true crime documentary on Art and Entertainment, Discovery or TLC... Rockumentaries on VH-1 are awesome. Besides that, nothing else on TV is really any good. CNN and all other news channels really tend to freak me out. Especially FOX news, don't get me started. Oh, I secretly watch Oprah and Dr. Phil sometimes. SHHHHH

Books:

Anything by Thomas Harris, Patricia Cornwell, Ridley Pearson, Jeffrey Deaver, Jeff Lindsay etc. My all time favorite is Stephen King, especially the Dark Tower series or "The Stand". I also really liked those books by James Frey - "A Million Little Pieces" and "My Friend Leonard". In a whole different vein...I like anything by Thich Nhat Hanh, and a book called "Stumbling Toward Enlightenment" by Geri Larkin. I've just started reading books by Steve Martin like Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company... very cool. And Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs was an excellent memoir.Get premade layouts from Myspace Layouts +
