About Me


"I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it's important to seek out that reason - that's how we learn. I don't know anybody's road who's been paved perfectly for them, there are no manuals, you don't know what life has in store for you. I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end. --Drew Barrymore

My Interests

reading, writing, shopping, watching wrestling, sleeping, bowling, going out with friends and family, laughing, the internet, crafting, being a big dorkette, driving around with the windows open and the music up, knitting with a loom, painting, being a RENTHEAD, Diet Coke, wearing polka dots and flip-flops, text messaging and talking on my cell phone, seeing cheap movies late at night, Broadway, karaoke, going to diners, listening to Opie and Anthony (PARTY ROCK!) and Ron and Fez (MISS FEZ...SOUNDBOARD), WOWing my husband, reality TV, mini-golfing, arcades, sex, puzzles, diet sodas, bellydancing, scrapbooking, NEW JERSEY DEVILS

I'd like to meet:

In Hollywood: My favorite wrestlers (Smackdown, Raw, ECW and TNA), my favorite musical artists (look to the side), American Idol contestants/winners, my famous heroes and random people like Hal Sparks and Ty Pennington.

Otherwise: New friends, old friends to catch up with, friends of my friends. I'm a pretty open and fun-loving person, contrary to what people say. Note: Psychos need not apply. Armed with my mother's sarcasm and my father's temper, I am not the person to get annoyed. Have a good day! I also don't appreciate judgmental people who like to hate me before they get to know me. Or after they do get to know me and do it unrightly.
