About Me


I am a twenty five year old new mom. My daughter Amber is seven months old. She is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I love her more than anything in this world. I am married to the love of my life, Allen. We have been through so much together and have remained together and still in love. I am still trying to finish school, and no I'm not going to be a doctor. lol. i will finish soon, I am almost there now. Life really does get in the way. I love writing, and am currently working on my first novel. I hope I can get it published.

My Interests

I love writing, poetry, novels, short stories, all of it...

I'd like to meet:

What the fuck does that have to do with cold medicine?

Music:

Sublime, The Beatles, Counting Crows, Coldplay, Bloodhound Gang, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 311, Queensryche, Dance Hall Crashers, Matisyahu, Billy Joel has resurfaced as a favorite, my daughter really seems to love it. When I play it for her, she responds, especially "Just the Way you Are". In fact, that was the first time I felt her move, when that song was playing on the radio...:)

Movies:

Jurassic Park, Seven, The Weather Man, Saw, Lord of War (okay anything with Nicholas Cage) Goodfellas, Casino, Scarface, (good thing they gave me a lot of space) any Kevin Smith movie, Toy Story, Supersize Me, Hostel, Unico in the Island of Magic, serial killer flicks are always good...hmmm can't think of any others right now, will update later...okay, updating...Sweeney Todd, and any other Tim Burton, I forgot how much I love his movies, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman...I could keep going, the new Rambo kicked so much ass!!! In my opinion, better than the first! Every Rocky movie, except five and Rocky Balboa. Donnie Brasco, Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood, the wall, fear and loathing in las vegas, a beautiful mind, gone with the wind, terms of endearment, the breakfast club (will always be a favorite) pi, requiem for a dream, the fountain, misery, billy madison, pan's labyrinth, braveheart, apocalypto, hard candy, the pursuit of happyness, borat, babel, i am legend, the basketball diaries, fun with dick and jane, mirrormask...well that's it for now.

Television:

THE SOPRANOS!!!!!!!! and of course NARUTO (the Japanese versions, subtitles do not bother me)The Simpsons, Family Guy, Reaper, Dexter, American Justice, Cold Case Files, King of the Hill...Omg, how could I have forgotten the genius of SOUTH PARK!!! And...Divorce Court, Judge Judy and Judge Mathis. The Steve Wilcos show is pretty cool too, it's Jerry Springer, only he actually tells these people that they're trash, and he gets up in their face, it's cool. Since I got DVR i have reacquainted myself with daytime television.

Books:

Paradise Lost (Milton) In Cold Blood (Capote) Timeline (Crichton) (The movie sucked btw) Jurassic Park (Crichton)The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger) Huckleberry Finn (Twain) (I hated it when I was younger, but I have new respect for it) Public Opinion (Lippmann) Areopagitica (Milton) The Lais of Marie de France (If anyone likes fairy tales, check this one out) Silence, The Canterbury Tales (Chaucer) Macbeth (Shakespeare) The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley (excellent book)The Vampire Lestat (Anne Rice) Memnock The Devil (Anne Rice) I am America and so Can You (Steve Colbert) Culture Warrior (Bill O'Reilly)

Heroes:

John Milton

When will it end?

Well, I'm still sick, and no one knows what to do. I have had perfect blood test results, and there seems to be no reason for the pain I'm having. My doctor still thinks it's Lyme, but the antibiotics...

My take on Valentine’s Day

Yes, Happy Valentine's Day to all! Valentine's Day...heh. I don't get it, really. Why should there be a holiday specifically set aside to make people fight? I really think that's all that happens...
