About Me


I love my family and friends (and miss them HOOOORRRIBLY!!!!!)-who really are my family as well; I have a few very special girlfriends who are my best friends in the whole world-they bring out the best and worst in me-heehee LOL; love animals/nature/being outside, wish I could quit my job and do something with animals-like them better most of the time anyway; someday I'm gonna ride (on horseback) thru the "Snowy River country" in Australia; would love to travel through Europe and "O.D." on the history there, tour the castles, etc; love almost all music (rock/metal is my fav tho-don't particularly like rap/hiphop much tho I'll dance to it sometimes if we're out and it's on-that makes Jen happy ;o) and movies; believe in reincarnation-I think it's just way too coincidental how you can instantly "click" with someone you have just met and feel like you have known them forever or something, that applies to any outside relationship be it friends or "more than friends"-freaked out yet?;)...am kinda stubborn/independent/genuine/honest/sincere/down to earth; would rather make friends than enemies but at the same time I don't care if you like me or not-this is me, take it or leave it.

Don't have the time to go into this right now...For starters I'll just mention LOVE animals & helping them; I love my dogs, my family and friends...I don't think I could "get by" in this world without them-altho I do like/appreciate my "alone" time too...I love horses and horseback riding, I think they are the most beautiful creatures...

I'm interested in history, esp. Medieval/Renesiance era; "hairbands"/hard rock/metal music...and most other music (as mentioned, not a big Rap/Hip Hop fan)-love Josh Groban's music...that man has the most beautiful voice...Bands back home I love and miss...Hairbangers Ball, Lounge Puppets, AEther, Rubber, KK and The Flying Hamsters of Doom (heehee), to name a few...I love roller coasters and amusement parks, sunrise/sunsets, walking on the beach, hiking, beautiful views; I'd love to travel more; I like old cars-get that from my dad I think...hehe; I like doing "crafty" things like painting, crocheting, making stuff....Love hanging out with my girlfriends and our girlie nights and/or chit chats that can go on for hours and hours...lol...
LOVE the short bus!!!! ;oP

More to come later...:o)

I'd like to meet:


Ummmm.....Friendly and interesting people...? (how cliché lol)...into music and who have a sense of humor. People who know who they are and are not afraid to be themselves. People who not only *have* a brain but use it...at least occasionally. ;o) Someone who has more to them than "meets the eye"...:o) If you want to be a "friend" send me a message or something-don't just ask to be added. It's not a popularity contest for me and I don't need random people who just want to get their "friends" number up. So take a few seconds out of your day and say something damnit! =o)

Music:



I LOOOVE music! It's powerful, emotional, moving, exciting....I can't create it...but I can appreciate it and those that can! I love the way it can get inside you and you can *feel* it....the way it can almost take you over...make you move...Turn it up REALLY loud and let go...I like just about everything...altho (as mentioned) not a huge rap/hip hop fan tho I've done my share of "clubbin"...would still rather go to a concert tho...Rock/metal is my all time forever love. To quote Sebastian Bach..."once it's in your blood"...or something like that anyway...;o)
One of my absolute fav's from "back in the day" was/is White Lion.
It was beyond wonderful to see Mike & co. with Tramps White Lion on 3 occasions in 2005! Made some great new friends to boot...=o) And for the record...Mike still makes awesome music as a solo artist. You should check it out...This album is one of my favorites of his...

But it also happens to have my favorite song on it by him...'Darkness' Not sure if you can still hear it on his profile here on myspace...And not that it matters much but I for one am glad he doesn't have the spikey "do" anymore like on this album cover...hehehe...LONG LIVE ROCK~N~ROLL!!!
So besides White Lion, Winger was another of my absolute favorites...New Winger album AND reunion tour for 06/07....OMFG...*insert INSANE girlie scream here...* heehee ;oP Seeing Kip and Reb play in 2005 TWICE was another huge thrill! Now I get to TWICE again in 2007! WOOHOO!! Kip's also put out amazing solo work. You should definitely check it out!

There are songs I liked from just about every "hairband"/metal band from back then, most anyway...But here we go as far as throwin out some other names then/now in no order of preference or time period Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Poison, Skid Row, Queensryche, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Cinderella, Pretty Boy Floyd, Giant, Warrant, House of Lords, Saigon Kick, Black n Blue, Danger Danger, TNT, Badlands, Tyketto, Leatherwolf, Nelson, Trixter, Tuff, Twisted Sister, LA Guns, Metallica, Ozzy, Scorpians, Rob Zombie, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Savatage, XYZ, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Gotthard, AC/DC, Megadeth, Overkill, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Godsmack, Tesla, Pantera, Lita Ford, Vixen, Slaughter, Kiss, Vain, Faster Pussycat, Kix, Firehouse, Steelheart, Mr. Big, Damn Yankees, Extreme, Dokken, Anthrax, Enuff ZNuff, Disturbed, Soil, The Calling, Lifehouse, Butch Walker, Edwin McCain, Shinedown, Nightwish, Evanescense, Nickelback, Hinder, Dragon Force, Buckcherry,Daughtry, classic rock bands...Ok this is taking way too long...Im stoppin for now lol...
I'm also a big fan of Josh Groban and music like that. Rock/metal is my no. 1 but I also love beautiful instrumentals & classic(al) music...Not sure what Josh would actually fall in (I've heard "pop" and not really sure if that's accurate, lol) but I think he has one of the most beautiful voices ever...and accompany that with music just as beautiful...magic...Love music from the 50's60's too...Also have a little bit of a country girl in me too so don't laugh when/if I'm singin along (quietly cuz I suck ;) to the latest or old country tunes...hehehe...;o)

Movies:

Love to go to the movies!...or rent 'em I guess...:o) Where to start...Love "period" movies..those that take place in a particular time in history, especially any medieval/renaissance ones. A good love story (duh-I'm a girl and hopeless romantic...what would you expect? ;) Love Disney movies/cartoons and those like them...Adventure, comedy, suspense (but be prepared for me jump out of my seat or stifle a scream-I even tossed my popcorn once! lol) Scary movies...ehh..yes/no...I watch them but I get scared too easily and have to close my eyes/cover my ears...lol...Just gonna throw names out..Lost Boys, The Man From Snowy River (and Return To....), Titanic, Lord of the Rings movies, Pirates of the Carribean,Legends of the Fall, Interview With A Vampire, Shrek, Hildalgo, Dragonheart, Highlander, King Arthur, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Princess Bride, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, The Outsiders, The Dark Crystal, The Natural, Say Anything, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, The Sandlot, My Dog Skip, Silence of the Lambs, Star Wars, Blade, Independence Day, Moulin Rouge, Beauty & The Beast, ROCKSTAR, Phantom of the Opera, The Notebook (I want a love like that...think I may have found it this time, hoping anyway ;o)...too many to keep going...except one more...
The Last Unicorn

Television:

Too tired to do this all now...A while back tho I saw one of the best movies "made for TV" (I think it was made for TV)...called "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"...awesome movie! I cried all the way through...hehe...Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Smallville, Greys Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Friends, Dharma & Greg, Will & Grace, Extreme Home Makeover, Ghost Whisperer, Dirty Jobs, Moonlight, According to Jim, LOOOVE Animal Planet & specifically Animal Cops! Could go on but I'm not...

Those who aren't afraid to try..to risk....even when they really *are* kind of afraid...Those who can pick themselves up and be positive even in troubled times...My close girlfriends, my "Ya Ya"...who are there to pick me up when I fall and love me/support me no matter what...especially when I don't love myself....
This picture reminds me of my ~K~...She is truly an angel that was sent into my life. Another one of those things I can't make ya understand. ;o) I love you Girlie!

Thinking of the future....hoping for my own "little angels" someday...(other than my furry ones...hehehe..;o)
