I am here for Friends

About Me


My name is Michelle. I have 3 kids that I'm terribly proud of - 2 boys and a girl. I had the girl when I was 15 years old and she's now in college on full scholarship learning to probably become a geneticist (she thinks for right now.) So, if you're in those shoes right now (15-year-old knocked up teen) just know that it can work out and you'll both be okay.
I myself was a medical transcriptionist for quite some time so I could stay home with the kids. (I HATED the job but I loved being at home.) I don't do well in the business world because I've always been a mommy first and most offices seem to hate that. I'm currently on the path to being a freelance writer. (SCARY - but I figure if I can learn enough about the business end of it I'll be all right. I've always had a lot to say about just about everything and there's nothing that doesn't interest me.)
I've always been more of a dreamer than a doer - a thinker than a follow-througher. I used to beat myself up about it but lately something in me has changed. I've learned to be more forgiving of my faults. I figure if I start eight projects and finish one - hey, I finish one! Apparently Leonardo Da Vinci started hundreds of paintings that he never finished. If Leo can get away with it - it's good enough for me too.

I don't usually care for IQ tests but this one makes me look smart - so here it is!

My Interests

Being the best mom, wife and person I can be. Video games, art, psychology, dream analysis, movies, books, history, sociology, writing, concocting various disgusting home remedies with the help of my herbology books and various weeds that grow in my yard.. actually, there really isn't much that isn't interesting to me.

I'd like to meet:

The real me and Gerard Way

This Meez is soooo me cuz I should be cleaning up that messy kitchen but I'm playing video games instead! LMAO

Music:

My Chemical Romance and System of a Down are very strong faves. Before MCR basically took over my musical life my favorite CD of all time for years and years was Testament: Practice What You Preach. LOL - boy did I feel old the day I had to special order a replacement copy because it wasn't something they just kept in stock anymore!! Weird Al Yankovic, Disturbed, Metallica, Green Day, Linkin Park, Hoobastank, Tool, Cat Stevens, (early) Dolly Parton etc... I go from Megadeth to John Denver in the snap of a finger... it's all good. PINK!!! (Sing it Sista!)

Movies:

LOOOVE movies - all movies, even bad ones sometimes. I'm especially into horror, though, and especially not particularly into the so-called "chick flicks."
One of my favorite movies of all time is a lesser known horror-comedy called "Blood Diner" fabulous stuff! There's just something about gross and silly at the same time that appeals to me.
I also list among my top faves (right now) 300, V for Vendetta, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Princess Bride, Lady in the Water, Signs, Labyrinth, The Ring, The Grudge, White Chicks, Phantom of the Opera, Evil Dead Trilogy, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Monsters Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy, Hero...Just saw "Stranger Than Fiction" which absolutely caught me off guard. It was written and directed and acted just beautifully. I'm keeping my eye out for any more screen plays written by Zach Helm. Mostly, though, I have to give props to Will Ferrel cuz I usually just think of him as a talentless goofball. He really stepped up to the plate and impressed me in his role as Harold Crick.

Television:

If it's not on the History Channel or Cartoon Network - it's not on for me. (Except for Scrubs and My Name is Earl)

Books:

Favorite books of all time are To Kill a Mockingbird, Jane Eyre (because I totally can relate to the crazy lady in the attic - laughing but not joking) anything by Clive Barker, Dean Koontz or Stephen King. For series - I absolutely devoured Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony. Eragon by Chris Paolini fascinates me and I just read Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman (who also happens to be one of my favorite comic book writers - Sandman series in particular.)

An example of why Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors.

Heroes:

My children, Angelina Jolie and Gerard Way.

Obsessed with Grace Kelly

OMG I don't know even exactly why but I am so obsessed with this song! Maybe it's cuz the guy kinda sounds like Freddie Mercury to me, or just what the song itself is saying or cuz he uses colors to ...

One of the biggest things that I take issue with is that people FEAR that which they do not understand and HATE people and things that are foreign to their sensibilities. Why can't we just get past a...
