Amy Lee's Stunt Double

No honey, that's not Mommy on the television...

About Me

I am a college graduate, former paralegal/legal assistant, one lucky wife and Mom of two wonderful kiddos. My time is mostly spent on child care and running a tight ship at home. Recently, time has allowed for me to get involved more in the way of advocacy for special education, medical care for my son, and autism.

My Interests

Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Special Education, child advocacy. Other interests include cooking, gardening, music and writing.

I'd like to meet:

The people currently living whom I find fascinating and would like to meet are Oprah Winfrey, Pink, and Hayden Christensen. They keep it real, despite the pressures put upon them because of fame and the responsibilities they have taken on.Those who are deceased but if it could be arranged, I'd like to meet: Jesus, John Paul II, and Princess Diana. They also kept true to themselves; the only problem is that others gave them a hard time for it.

Music:

Anything with a strong, sultry beat and/or tells a story.

Movies:

Star Wars, comedies, good action films, romantic comedy, psychological thrillers.

Television:

Lost, comedy, funniest videos

Books:

Anything on becoming a better person, autism, and Catholicism/Christianity.

Heroes:

Anyone who doesn't let the world dictate what they should do or how they should do it.
