My Interests

Writing. Television. Movies. Music. I'm so diverse.

Anyone...I have no friends. If you're relatively young and friendly, you meet all of my criteria.I'd like to meet Jake Gyllenhaal someday...but for entirely different reasons.

Music:

The Corrs, Sugababes, Melanie C, Darren Hayes, Ace Of Base, Shakira, Jem, Yaki-Da. Really, I'll listen to just about anything.

Movies:

I like all kinds of movies. My favorite, though is the original version of The Haunting.

Television:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was the best show in the history of television.

Books:

Anything by Shirley Jackson.

Heroes:

Anyone who does something good for someone else without thought of self-consequence. You know, the Erin Brockovich types.

...along comes Valentine's Day to pick off all the stragglers. Yes.  I wish I could take credit for that line, but unfortunately, it's based on a joke I heard once from Laura Kightlinger.  H...

At long last

Hang on, Slutty. Slutty, hang on...O-H-I-O

So, I'm sick of hearing Hang On Sloopy.  I know it's Ohio's official rock song.  I know it's some big deal with Ohio State.  Fabulous.  That doesn't mean I want to hear it all the ...

Mr. Benis And The Giant Blow

So, I've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately.  As crazy as it seems, I actually miss high school.  It's been over FOUR years since I graduated.  That's just...wow...I feel old.  Ma...

C'est La Vie always 21

So, 21 came and passed.  It's supposed to be the best age...the one at which you look back with that painful twinge of nostalgia when you're 40.  "Those were the days..." you're supposed to ...
