I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a pretty-laid back girl that gets fired up from time to time (e.g. politics, bad Nashville drivers, bad coffee). I am never cranky, except when I am... I work too much. I play out of doors when I get a chance. And share my bed with a 60 plus pound Golden Retriever named Darcy. I can't complain too much.

My Interests

Cycling, Whitewater kayaking, running, playing with the pup, drinking wine and coffee, cooking, traveling...

Music:

The Be Good Tanyas, Gillian Welch, Adrienne Young, Elliot Smith, Iron and Wine, Nick Drake, Wilco, The Shins, Get Set Go, Old school REM, Matt Pond PA, Thelonious Monk, Uncle Tupelo and the list goes on...

Movies:

High Fidelity, About A Boy (I really like Nick Hornby), Sound of Music (well, sadly, its true)... most movies with John Cusack.

Television:

The only thing I watch on TV these days is Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls (and now addicted to LOST). I do own all of Northern Exposure on DVD and most of Felicity though and that makes up for the TV I am missing.

Books:

Heart Breaking Work of a Staggering Genius, Jane Austin's books (well, I am a girl what do you expect?), The Death of Ivan Ilich by Tolstoy... Right now reading a really good book about Frank Lloyd Wright, who knew?

Heroes:

Jimmy Carter.
