About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I grew up an Air Force brat. I was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and grew up mostly in Concordia, MO. I attende three high schools (but myspace doesn't seem to have Frankfurt High School as an option to list) and graduated in Alamogordo, NM. I met this crazy guy in Drama class my junior year and ended up marrying him. We worked at Disney World for three years, where I learned the amazing skill of drawing Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Ask me to do it at a party and prepare to be amazed!
After Disney, my husband, son, and I moved back to the wilds of New Mexico for college. I took a Communication Studies class and was hooked. Seven years later, I'm still studying communication. I look at fan culture and fan behavior. In this line of research, it helps to be a total geek, and I fit the bill. I'm hilariously funny in the way that makes no one but me laugh.
I am married to Michael $, and I often sneak onto his page and blog there. SO, if you just can't get enough of me (and, let's face it, who can?), feel free to read it there.

My Interests

I study fan behavior (although my husband claims it's just an excuse for me to read fanfic). I like to make jewelry, both with beads and with polymer clay. I listen to show tunes and sing all the time (even when you'd rather I didn't. I read constantly, to the point of irritating those around me.

Confession

I have a great and terrible confession to make: I am 27 and 11/12 years old, and I have never been drunk. "How can this be?" you ask. "Are you some kind of religious non-drinker or freak?" you de...

Relationship longevity

Did you know that I have only kissed one man in the past eleven years? Does that seem wierd? Does it make me sound old? Most of the time it is just normal for me - I don't really think about it. But o...

Ignorance R Us

I am extremely oblivious to the world around me. Most of the time it's no big, but in times of crisis, it can be a major hindrance. I remember when 9/11 happened. Michael and I had taken Gabriel in to...
