About Me

Hmm...I'm short. I have blue eyes and thin hair. I like to play dressup, for work and for fun. I'm close to my family and found out I was more attached to the South than I realized when I left it to work in Michigan. I'm a member of the People of Mars Hill and a card carrying member of the Ole Miss Alumni Association. I can be very messy, but I'm working on it. and I'm a terrible mime. Bottom Line: I'm thankful to be where I am right now, glad for the lessons I've learned along the way, and looking forward to whatever it is that I'm going to see around the corner.

My Interests

The Library, which I love. Board games, drawing, reading, theatre, and eating. I love food. Feel free to recommend restaurants. Science, space, makeup, dressup, and all things Disney. I love Ole Miss athletics and I can't wait for football season!!

I'd like to meet:

Joan Cusack, Dolly Parton, Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Steve Martin, Kristen Wiig, Rob Bell. and the cast of the Office. I have met Brian Stokes Mitchell and (briefly) Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, and Will Forte or I would say them too. But I'd definitely go for a repeat!

Music:

I like music. All kinds. Seriously. If you want to get an idea, look at the artists I'm "friends" with. I love to play music, I love to sing, and I love to listen to music being played and good singers. Ok this is getting pretty redundant now.

Movies:

I like Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Really. and lots of others, like Singles, and Doris Day movies, and musicals. I will watch most anything, except it takes me a while to actually see those period dramas that you know are supposed to be good but you never actually feel like watching.

Television:

LOST. Best show EVER. I predict it's going to be HUGE, as Michael Scott would say, who is on my other favorite show right now, The Office. Let's see....Scrubs. Also a good one. Saturday Night Live, which will always be up there. The Colbert Report makes me laugh, for many reasons. I am semi-embarrassed to admit I like So You Think You Can Dance. It fascinates me. and also makes me want to work out a lot. and Sesame Street. Have you watched it lately? b/c honestly, you should. It's still good. You learn a new spanish word every day thanks to the bilingual ballerina muppet (I can't remember her name, but I can remember that "para" means "stop") and keep an eye out for when Elmo asks the baby a question. It's slightly bizarre but more than slightly adorable.

Books:

Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Michael Crichton books, The Great Divorce by C S Lewis, Reviving Ophelia, The Da Vinci Code, The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, the Fountainhead, the Bible (I try), and Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell (HIGHLY recommend)! I'm currently reading Cure for the Common Life and Blue Like Jazz.

Heroes:

My Mom and Dad. Seriously. They're two of the most successful people I know. Other than them, Dolly Parton and Brian Stokes Mitchell.

So, in response to a bulletin posted by the Ole Miss MySpace I decided to repost it with my response but on my blog, so it won't take up all the bulletin space. I already know I'm a true fan, (a...
