About Me

Married Seth on 5-4-2002. Baby girl, Eowyn [A-O-win] born 3-5-2005. What you may not know: I'm no poet - so don't expect poetic stuff on this site. If I'm poetic, it's usually by accident :) I took clogging lessons as a kid. In the 2nd grade, we would regularly discuss Dallas plotlines while gathered at the pencil sharpener. I'm the youngest of 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls). I was a cheerleader from the 8th thru 11th grades (and a pretty good one too!). My first role in a play was Imogene in our church production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." I learned all my lines, but not my cues, so I knew what to say, but not when to say it. Ultimately, it turned out OK. :)Before I die I want to be a member of a live studio audience. I think it would be fun to go tornado chasing, although I'd probably scream a lot so they'd probably be sorry they ever agreed to let me come along. Every year I get a country ham biscuit from the same booth at the NC State Fair. yummm... I am super, super scared of spiders. I used to have a much thicker southern accent. Really. Someday I'd like to retire near a cool National Park so that I can work as a Park Ranger. I'd like to visit everywhere, starting with places that require the fewest shots. For many more photos, check out my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51746071@N00/ Here's some video of Eowyn reciting Shakespeare:

My Interests

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Books:

Currently reading Lord of the Rings (it's about damn time); His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman; the Harry Potter series, of course; Intensity by Dean Koontz; The Shining by Stephen King. I tend to read horror because I like scary stuff, but I can't watch the movies if they're gory :(

Heroes:

My mom, Seth, and so many of my friends for so many different reasons.

Gravity

Today I did something - a hard thing for many people, perhaps not all, but an extremely difficult thing for me.  And the path of a person's life, and his family, will be affected by this thing th...
