I am here for Friends

About Me

Just back from living in Dublin, Ireland. Now I have to go back to pretending I'm ok with being an adult. Grr! I hate growing up!

My Interests

My time is occupied with swing dancing, music, concerts, the ocassional painting, and then of course more swing dancing.

I'd like to meet:

Do famous people count? What about dead people, because James Dean would definately be on my list!

Music:

Give me REM, U2, Dashboard Confessional, Radiohead, Glen Phillips, Nickel Creek, Death Cab for Cutie, Mae, Coldplay, Aqualung, Paddy Casey, Clem Snide, Saves the Day and Ben Folds and I will be a happy girl.

Movies:

Best movie of all time: Dead Poets Society. I also love Garden State, I Heart Huckabees, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc.

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club) rocks my world. Also love Kurt Vonnegut, Michael Chabon, and my fave book is White Oleander.

Heroes:

They always rock...but who knew?

So I have a confession...I heard a Britney Spears song and actually enjoyed it. A sin I know...but I should put out there that it was performed by Nickel Creek last night at their concert. Chris Thile...

The day is here!

Yes, the day has finally come. Rent is here, and I get to go see it tonight. Rent inspires me to make every moment count...something I usually forget in daily life. So I'm sure tonight a few tears wil...

yep, I still exist

So teaching has been pretty good. Time consuming as it may be, I'm finding myself up for the challenge. Once I get rid of all the "umms," I'll be grand. Yet throughout this transition, I've found myse...

Me a Prof? What?

In all the fun of trying to find a new job, I was completely blindsided, but in a good way, by an unexpected proposition. I should preface this whole admission by saying it's not for sure yet and...
