If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me, but I didn't, so it doesn't.

About Me

******************************* I'm happy. I have a wonderful boyfriend, wonderful dog, the best friends I could ask for and kick ass family. We live in palm Desert, which is too hot, but we'll survive. I like to hang out and read. I love to eat. I work out a lot, but don't love it. I love Disneyland and Magic Mt. I miss my friends. They all live far away. I have the coolest niece in the world, Ava Reese. I love Zoo's, fantasy books, gadgets, pockets, pictures, my iPhone, magazines, food, sunshine and rain. I like to keep all the books I've read and hope to one day have a library. I play Bunco, I love board games, I love Cranium best. I like to be crafty, I just wish I was better at it. I ran a 5K in may, because I'm cool. I hate cleaning but like to organize. I wish I was really good at something, but I'm more of a Jack of all Trades. I love the show Lost, I love Bob from Biggest loser. I like to talk and make friends, but live in a town where the average person is over 75. Not that I don't love old people, but sometimes people your age are nice too :-)

My Interests


| View | Add FavoriteI hate to admit it but I'm probably the boringest person alive. Everyone says I'm like an old lady. I like to watch movies (we currently have over 700 movies in our collection). I work out a lot, I've lost over 20 lbs so far and I'm about 1/2 way to my goal. Shopping, reading magazines, designer jeans, purses, shoes. I took up knitting a while ago, but all I can do are scarves. Riding bikes with Brendan, BBQing ,I like to read, take Bop to the dog park, dance around ridiculously to music and watch movies. I love the zoo too. I'm also really good at eating! I love to eat! yay! So pretty much, I just like to hang out and do not a lot. My family and friends are very important to me. My parents are the coolest people on the planet, I have a rad niece and some of the coolest friends in the world. And the best boyfriend too! Oh AND the best dog!!! Am I lucky girl or what?

I'd like to meet:

I'm always amazed by how many RAD people I already know. So different but so awesome. I'd love to get in touch with people I lost touch with while I was in the black hole. And new people too, anyone fun! I'd like to meet Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, Rachel McAdams, Jerry Only, Glenn Danzig, Edgar Winter, Johnny Knoxville, Vince Vaughn, Terry Quinn, Mathew Fox, all those fabulous famous people. Also, my real dad, someday, perhaps. We'll see

Music:

.. .. .. .. I love all Music. Seriously, it's all wonderful. Misfits, Beatles, Styx, Robbie Williams, Alabama 3, Nate Dogg, Tool, Allison Krauss, Rush, Flogging Molly (who put on one of the best shows I've ever seen!!!!!), Edgar Winter, Gwen Stefani, Queen etc etc etc. I also really like musicals. I love singing along! Aw hell, I can't forget the best drummer in the world, my dad Jim Stromberg and his many bands. My fave the Sugar Daddy Swing Kings, with Paul Brown (San Luis Obispos city councilman). And my close friend Matt Ratts bands, Rat Pack and Black Market Elvis.

Movies:

I love love love Grandma's Boy!!!!! I cannot watch enough movies, we have like everything! Some of my faves are 40 Year Old Virgin, Office Space (The best movie EVER) Newsies (shut up, it's awesome); Rocky Horror Picture Show; BioDome; coming to america; Little Shop of Horrors; Across the Universe, Nightmare before christmas; Outsiders, Shrek, Crash, Sin City, the Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, the Notebook (I know cheesy girl movie, but I love it), Portrait of Dorian Gray, Some like it Hot, Goonies, Gia, Talladega Night, ALL Harry Potter, Reno 911, and Yellow Submarine to name a few. I love them all.

Television:

LOST!!!I'm basically obsessed with Lost. I'm into True Blood. I love a lot of the old HBO shows that are now gone like the Sopranos and Rome. I LOVE Law and Order (RIP Jerry Orbach)! I love the Office! Michael Scott just KILLS me haha and any kind of makeover show!

Books:

I'm into fantasy books mostly, but I like historical stuff too, like Morgan llywelyn's books on Ireland. I'm obsessed with Charlaine Harris's books the Southern Vampire Series. I love love love Sookie! I love both trilogies by Fiona McIntosh, she's a new fave. I really like Marion Zimmer Bradley and Jean Auel. The Outisders was one of those amazing books I read as a kid that stuck with me for along time, love it. I also love Harry Potter, which i wouldn't read for a long time and now I'm completly Sucked in! They're the best! I'm trying to finish at the Xanth novels by Piers Anthony but a couple are obscure and I'm having a hard time finding them. But they're great! I'm currently reading Diane Paxon, but looking for more always :-)

Heroes:

My parents are awesome. Anyone who puts themselves on the line to help others. Oh and Storm. But not Halle Berry Storm from the movies, the awesome Storm from the comics. Yea.
You're Betty Grable!
