About Me

And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as stars chase you away

--Spill Canvas

I read a lot. I enjoy TV, but I hate reality shows. Music, movies, and books are my passions. I hate working out, but I love to dance and do pilates. I sing and dance in my car, despite weird looks I may get from time to time. I am funny, but usually not on purpose. I love laughing out loud at stupid jokes, making my friends' days, and acting older/younger than I am. There are few things better in life than a really good-smelling guy.

You Are a Beagle Puppy
Cheerful, energetic, and happy go lucky.
And you're sense of smell is absolutely amazing! What Breed of Puppy Are You?Get a spiffy layout like this at My Space or Yours?

My Interests

Books, music, movies, TV shows, and just hanging out. I also enjoy being lazy - especially on cold days, discovering new careers (pink house!), and avoiding cleaning at all costs. My friends and family are fantastic, and I love spending every moment I can with them. I have an unhealthy obsession with decorating magazines and cookbooks. It's a little ridiculous. Wine stores are my downfall, but in a good way.

Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and Extreme Makover Home Edition are my guilty pleasures.

I have to say, I do not mind being attached to some of these celebrities (hello, Jessica Alba), though I do not really see the resemblance with most of these. Oh well!...
