I dwell in Possibility. -Emily Dickinson

About Me

Hmmm...I'm 29 years old, from a very small town. I like to have fun and not take life too seriously. Currently working on my Master's Degree in Nursing at Loyola, New Orleans, employed as a R.N. at Tulane Hospital. I've got a sweetheart of a husband and 2 adorable dogs... no kids...yet.

Only once...dad was driving...-Were you popular in high school?: Uhh.. Lafitte is like the CHEERS them song... Everybody knows your name!-Have you ever been on a blind date?

God, where did the time go????-By what age would you like to be married?: I already am...happily!-Does the number of people a person's slept with affect your view of them?: Oh yes...if you sleep around then you are definitely a skanky whore. ;o)-Have you ever made a mistake?: Too many...and I've learned from every one of them...some of them I made more than once...I just didn't learn the first 20 times...I can be stubborn (ask my parents).-What's the most you have spent for a haircut?: $300.

Music:

I have an embarrassingly disturbing obsession with 80's hair bands...(really, what ever happened to Warrant...they were good, right?) New Orleans Brass Bands (especially Rebirth), The Cranberries, Allison Kraus & Union Station, Better Than Ezra, Marylin Manson, Billy Joel, The Killers, Everclear, Faith Hill, Green Day, Joss Stone, Chris Thomas King, Rascal Flats, and many, many more. I listen to all sorts of music.

Movies:

Has to be a comedy.

Television:

South Park, Nova, National Geographic Explorer, History's Mysteries, anything on the history, discovery, or national geographic channel, and I don't know why, but every now and then...I also watch The Dog Whisperer and My Super Sweet 16 (those spoiled brats crack me up and piss me off...television programming at it's finest) ;oP

Books:

The Awakening by Kate Chopin, The Grandissimes by George Washington Cable, The Things They Carried by Tim OBrien

Heroes:

My mom for never giving up, no matter how tough things got. My sister for her gift of loyalty, there is no better friend out there. My dad for sticking to his guns, even when it broke hearts. My husband for his ability to see only good in everyone. You've all taught me so much, and I LOVE YOU!
