About Me

My life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, pretty, and well preserved, but rather I will skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... WOW... What a Ride!
I have a few obsessions in my life: my kids, my boyfriend, my bike, and working out. I enjoy spending time with my friends - there are quite a few of you I wish I got to see more often. We need to work on this. :) I love making new friends, too... So if I don't know you already, message me now!

My friends are my family - don't mess with 'em. Mess with me (or one of them), and you can lose friend status. Cause drama in my life, you're on my shit list. Cause drama on purpose, and you'll never get off that shit list.

And that's me in a nut-shell. Take it or leave it. That's all I feel like writing for now. :P

My Interests

Hanging out with friends and running around with the kids - pretty much everything I do falls under one of those categories.

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for friends - people to chat with online or hang out with on weekends. You can find me most weekdays on Yahoo messenger: seamonkeyaj

Music:

Just about anything. Really. Even country. Not opera though.

Movies:

Once again, just about anything. Lately I can't stay awake through a whole movie, so I'm thinkin it doesn't much matter!

Television:

You can't beat Grey's Anatomy and House! I like the crime/mystery/drama ones too.

Books:

I'm always reading something! Currently on Memnoch the Devil from the Vampire Chronicles series.

Heroes:

My good friends who constantly play the shrink for me!

My Blog

"We Can’t Blame White People"

I had pretty much forgotten about this e-mail that floated around a few years ago, but it's one of the few "he-said" ones that's actually true. I included a link at the end to the Snopes article...

Reason, season, lifetime

Copied from an e-mail.... But if you read my "About me", you know why this is here. People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it...

Hypocritical bulletins
