About Me

I have not had one single peach since moving to Georgia. I have two dogs (one of whom is eventually gonna land me in jail when she eats an entire car or baby or small country). I love my green tea kettle. My two very favorite places (right now at least) are the San Antonio river walk and historic Savannah.

My Interests

Batman, Sharpies, pseudo-Mexican food (nachos and burritos, etc), Mountain Dew, kittens, goats, heroes, superheroes, antiheroes, vigilantes, Sephora, Jeeps, zombies, the beach, coloring books, Super Nintendo, umm.... trivia/board games, pretending to tapdance, ice cream and candy. Oh yeah, I like red shoes. And Batman.

I'd like to meet:

If I met more people, I wouldn't have as much time to read.
My all time favorite quote ever:
"Short of running him over with the Batmobile, I couldn't think of any way to stop Bruce Lee."
--Adam West, Back to the Batcave, p. 150

Captain America suddenly got kind of cool.

Music:

Silverchair, Muse, Linkin Park, Big Sky, Theory of a Deadman, The Postal Service, The Monkees, Nirvana, Rooney, The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Blur, The Beatles kind of, David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, Elvis, Maroon 5, The Dissociatives, Ashton Allen, NIN, Audioslave, Emiliana Torrini, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, older No Doubt, The Killers, Joan Jett, Heart, Green Day, Gorillaz, Bush, The Ataris, Rob/White Zombie, the soundtrack to Chicago (not so big into the movie/etc though). A little bit of rap, mostly just Ludacris, Eve, Eminem and Missy Elliot, umm... there are loads of others but I tried to only list people that I listen to on a regular basis. I think I might like The White Stripes but I have not yet come to a decision on that.

Movies:

Television:

The Office, The Colbert Report, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Myth Busters, Saved by the Bell!!!!, That 70s Show, House, Jeopardy, stuff on the history channel, Lost, Food Network, anything with Batman in it. Reno 911 is the best show ever. Except for The Office. Oooh and Kyle XY.

Books:

J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, apparently I like authors who have initials for their first names, Tamora Pierce (I don't care if she's for kids, you can't just stop loving a character once you turn 18), I Am America (And So Can You), Nick Hornby, Roald Dahl, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Last Unicorn, The Princess Bride (I love the movie but the book is way better), His Dark Materials, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, The Twilight Series, Stan Lee, Jeph Loeb, Frank Miller but not All Star Batman and Robin, that's lame-o. I keep trying Stephen King but other than The Stand nothing seems to stick. Size 12 is Not Fat, Size 14 is Not Fat Either, Big Boned, the Shanna Swendson books (Enchanted Inc., etc.), the Percy Jackson series.

Heroes:

Batman and the guy with the afro from Enter the Dragon.
