Laura

Because when you showed me myself, I became, someone else.

About Me

I live in Emmaus with my fiance Steve and our five and a half year old daughter, Ella. We have another one on the way, at least that's what the midwives keep trying to tell us. Liars. We also have a Blue and Gold Macaw named Jewel who is usually competing with Ella for the center of attention.

My Interests

My wonderful little family is my main interest. Also politics, law, dance (mainly ballet), camping, hiking, good food and better martinis, my friends, the commix, Zen like this :

I'd like to meet:

People, and maybe a hobbit or two. Drug addicts and Skook scum need not apply.

Music:

Ani Difranco, Social Distortion, Sarah Maclachlan, Alanis Morissette, Mike Daughtry, Johnny Cash, DMB, The Bouncing Souls, OAR, Dispatch, Big City Sunrise, Tom Petty, and I suppose Steve's deadheadedness is rubbing off on me, too.

Movies:

The Cider House Rules, If These Walls Could Talk 1 & 2, American History X, North Country, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Walk The Line, The Business of Being Born, An Inconvenient Truth (gotta love those crazy liberals and their lies about global warning....crazy bastards...)

Television:

Scrubs, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Intervention, and the news. You know, always gotta keep on top of which men are murdering their wives these days.

Books:

Cunt, Dancing On My Grave, The War On Choice, Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, I Never Called it Rape, Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, To Be Real, The Feminine Mystique, America the Book, Deception Point, The Cider House Rules, Jack the Ripper: Case Closed, The Shape of Love, Crashing the Party, Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them and lots lots more. READ! Oh yeah, and lately lots of pregnancy books and magazines. I get a tad obsessed.
