About Me

Hey all! "A graduate of Montana State University, I hold my Masters in Public Administration. From the land of the Big Sky, I AM Meredith ..."So, if you didn't "get" the intro, you obviously aren't aware of my sickness: I am a pageant girl. I've won, I've lost. I've cried tears of happiness and of disappointment. I'm definitely a "USA girl" because I never won my state's America title but did place as high as 1RU.


On a side note, I also bizarrely represented Germany at a pageant in China. It makes no sense but neither does communism.I have a BA in Political Science and an MS in Public Administration. I LOVE to talk politics, but I have some very strong view points and it may be more wise to not open this can of worms with me if you aren't really ready for it. Which Conservative Are You?
You are Ann Coulter

You Are a Smart American
You know a lot about US history, and you're opinions are probably well informed.
Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be. Are You a Dumb American?I am currently working as a promotional and spokesmodel. In a nutshell, I get paid to party and mingle. I suppose I could have a worse way of making a few bucks. In all honesty, I don't care about making millions, just taking a year for myself and not stressing about everything! (A TOTAL deviation from the Meredith most of y'all know...). I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!

My Interests



skiing (I better learn to water ski in Nevada), hosting dinner and cocktail parties, roadtripping, scrapbooking (I'm a nerd, so what?), crossword, sudoku and jigsaw puzzles (Okay, I'm a major nerd...), cleaning to relax, playing with my puppies and kitties, wasting time on the computer (anything instead of REAL work)
You Are Heineken
You appreciate a good beer, but you're not a snob about it.
You like your beer mild and easy to drink, so you can concentrate on being drunk.
Overall, you're a friendly drunk who's likely to buy a whole round for your friends... many times.
Sometimes you can be a bit boring when you drink. You may be prone to go on about topics no one cares about. What's Your Beer Personality?

I'd like to meet:

BOB BARKER... and Jude Law (actually, I want to bite his lip, pull his hair, and bounce a quarter off his ass... well him and the one guy I've actually said that to... you know who you are!).PLEASE only make friend requests/message/etc if you DO know me or have a pageant connection (cause we're like a big family! couple of catty sisters but mostly nice and loving). I'm not interested in amassing thousands of friends, just in keeping touch with friends, getting back in touch with old ones (I haven't forgotten Virginia!), and finding others with my same psychoses :)

Music:

I seriously like everything. Yes, that means country, too. At the moment, my disc changer includes Eight Track Minds, My Chemical Romance, The Fray, Gnarles Barkley, Fallout Boy, and Gorillaz. I absolutely adore watching VH1's "I Love the 90s" because I get to hear all the songs that have such strong emotional ties to that awkward decade of life :)

Movies:

Absolute FAVS: Moulin Rouge and Snatch because they appeal to the two sides of me (the love sick prostitute and the gangster in a fix....). Comedy is usually good, but I prefer the darker and drier stuff. I HATE when movies say "inspired by true events" etc because it makes people think it actually happened. Change that: I just dislike stupid naive people. Other great ones: The Weather Man, 12 Monkeys, The Hudsucker Proxy, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Lord of the Rings, Stranger Than Fiction, The Incredibles, Frailty, Very Bad Things, Little Miss Sunshine, The Other Sister

Television:

I HEART TV. I love sitcoms (new and old), dramas ("Law and Order" marathons ROCK), reality tv (cuz I know so many people on them! go pageant girls!), home repair/cleaning shows (ah, the before-and-after scenes are my fav). MXC, South Park, Entourage, Nip/Tuck top the loooong list

Books:

For fiction, I love Dean Koontz, James Patterson, John Grisham, Lillian Jackson Braun, and (especially) Ayn Rand. Nonfiction pretty much includes anyone who ever appears on Fox News but especially PJ O'Rourke. Favorite book: Atlas Shrugged. If you haven't read it, take a few months and try (it's an endeavor). "Governemnt is not the solution to the problem; Government IS the problem" (RR=greatest ever!) 2nd Favorite Book: Crime and Punishment. Yes, I probably never would have read it had it not been required in HS but it is amazing. Brilliant. I'll always love Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl :)

Heroes:

Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, and Dan Burgess"Whenever I hear people talking about "liberal ideas," I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
